    Default extension cords

    I have a small garden shed for a workshop (6mx3m) and tripping over electrical wires was forever a problem

    Got two "eye bolts" and 100mm screw tighteners and ran a single strand of 3mm fencing wire above head height from one end of the shed to the other (less than $Au10) then attached the 10m extension cord through curtain rings and cable ties at 500mm spacing.

    Now the extension cord can be shifted from one end of the shed to the other without ever being under my feet again.

    Great idea Arthur, but do you find your missus keeps hanging the washing on it when it's raining?

    But seriously, a good idea.

    Default all I need now....

    sounds fantastic, all I need now is a shed big enough to do that in.... my shed isnt ready yet, and when it is I am told it will become the warehouse for the business

    Got similar in my shed, Plastic coated cable and electric fence insulators all swiped from Whiskers, idea included. On one of my "runs" I have a cord from either end of the cable to give me two outlets.....
