How to
Choose Power
for the Garden
Do you want power in your garden to run electrical items
such as; lights, mowers, radios, Christmas lights, water
features, or to power a greenhouse/shed? Taking power
to the garden is a realistic DIY job when using Blagdon
Powersafe products.
When you are
planning to install
power in your garden,
you first need to decide what
type of power option you require:
• Regular 3 pin sockets
(weatherproof),
• Switchbox,
• Remote Control Socket Box,
• A combination of the above
– see page 11 for linking options.
The first option is a socket box
(specifically designed for outdoor use)
into which you can directly plug and
remove items that are fitted with a
standard UK 3 pin plug i.e. Lawn
Mower, Power Tools.
The second option is a
Switchbox which is the
better option for more
permanent power fixings,
for example a pond pump,
or garden lighting. The
appliance is easily wired into
the Switchbox and can be
turned on or off at the box.

The third option is the Remote Control
Socket Box. This system is already
fitted with outdoor specific sockets
(and comes with corresponding plugs)
and has the advantage of working by
remote control up to 100m from the
main unit. This system gives you the
opportunity to plug in your outdoor
power items either permanently or
temporarily. You can turn any one of
your plugged in appliances remotely
or at the unit itself.
These outdoor power options can be fixed
to your house, or mounted away from the
home using armoured cable across the
garden. See overleaf for measuring and
planning guidelines.
Blagdon offers a range of outdoor electrical
solutions that can be used in conjunction
with one another. This means that you can
install one, or a selection of the above power
options, and safely locate them where you
choose. They are all easy and quick to install
and are very cost effective.
POWERSAFE PRODUCTS COMPLY WITH LEGAL ELECTRICAL SAFETY STANDARDS.
ELECTRICAL STANDARDS STATE THAT:
• ALL OUTDOOR POWER SUPPLIES MUST BE PROTECTED BY A CIRCUIT BREAKER.
• ALL OUTDOOR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS MUST COMPLY WITH OUTDOOR WEATHERPROOF SAFETY
STANDARDS. • ALL POWER SUPPLIES ACROSS THE GARDEN MUST BE CARRIED BY METAL SHEATHED
ARMOURED CABLE. • IF BURIED, WARNING TAPE MUST BE APPLIED.
IF YOU CAN WIRE A PLUG, DRILL A HOLE AND
FOLLOW CLEAR INSTRUCTIONS, CHOOSE BLAGDON
POWERSAFE AND YOU ARE ON THE WAY TO ENJOYING
THE CONVENIENCE OF POWER IN YOUR GARDEN

Planning and Measuring out
Planning the position of your sockets
or switchboxes, and the route of your
armoured cable (where applicable) is
vital before you commit to selecting your
Powersafe products. Below is a guide
to measuring out your route (always
follow the instructions included with the
product for the final measurements and
installation.). The example is for locating a
Twin Socket away from the house.
Products you require: Garden Circuit
Breaker, Armoured Garden Power Supply
(to length measured from guidelines below),
Outdoor Twin Socket.
STEP 1 - MARKING OUT
Decide which mains socket to
be used in the house/garage.
The 9mm rubber cable supplied in the
Armoured Power Supply is 5m long. Measure
out 5m from a suitable mains power socket
(house or garage) checking that there would
be sufficient rubber cable to be fixed along
the required route. The route should be
to the exit point that you require into the
garden and allow for enough cable to be
passed through either the wall or door/
window frame allowing that the fixing
bracket will be attached to a suitable external
point 30cm minimum above ground level.
Mark the location. Keep in mind that the
rubber section of the cable should be run
for the minimum distance possible outdoors.
If the 5m of internal rubber cable is insufficient
in length it may be replaced with a longer length
of HO5RN 3 x 1.0mm core rubber cable.
STEP 2 - DECIDE ROUTE OF
THE ARMOURED CABLE
The armoured cable plug will be connected
to the rubber cable socket at the location
marked previously. From the area marked,
measure out the route of the armoured cable
using a piece of rope as a template.
The armoured cable may be routed above
ground, along fences or walls (using the
armoured cable cleats provided in the box)
hidden through trees and shrubs or buried
below ground at a minimum depth of 500mm
(below a spade’s depth). Remember to add
the 1000mm to the total length if the cable is
buried at any point, as well as any required
for an upward lift to fix to a wall/fence.
Mark the location that the armoured cable is
to finish, (a minimum of 30cm above ground
for safe ground clearance). Mark on a suitable
hard point or post as the cable socket (end

point) will be mounted onto a wall/post
bracket. Once you are satisfied that you have
the full length of ground covered, as well as
any additions considered, measure the length
of your rope. Because the armoured cable
section in the Power Supply is permanently
pre-wired at the set length dictated at purchase
(5/10/15/20m), you must chose the next size up
from the length of your piece of rope to ensure
sufficient cable along the route. i.e.: if your
rope length is 8.2m you should purchase a 10m
Power Supply. Do not forget to allow for any
additional length required for burying the cable
along the route.
STEP 3 - LOCATION OF
YOUR TWIN SOCKET
To ascertain the end of the system and the
location of your Twin Socket, add 40cm
(maximum) above the previous point marked
(end of the armoured cable).
This is the maximum distance that the Twin
Socket can be located from the plug and
socket, see diagram 1.
The Twin Socket should be situated where
it is protected from:
• Flooding • Extreme heat
• Physical damage
If the Armoured Power
Supply purchased is
insufficient in length
additional armoured
cable sections are
available. These can
also be used to extend
an existing system with
a Plug and Socket. The
Powersafe Armoured
Power Supply can be
safely extended to a
maximum length of
40m. Please see full
instructions in the pack
or the Plug and Socket
(instore or via our
max
40cm
website) for extending a Power Supply.
Other requirements:
If you currently have any power product in
the garden they must, by law, be run via
an RCD. See the Blagdon Garden Circuit
Breaker below.
CAREFUL PLANNING SAVES
TIME CONSUMING ERRORS
For multiple installation options see page 11.
POWERSAFE GARDEN CIRCUIT BREAKER

protection from the risk of
electrocution.
