Why Proper Outdoor Sockets Matter
Outdoor electrics are exposed to moisture, temperature changes, and physical knocks. Using indoor extension leads outside (especially through windows/doors) can create hazards: trapped cables, water ingress, overloaded adaptors, or damaged insulation.
A properly installed weatherproof outdoor socket gives you safe, reliable power where you need it and helps protect your home’s electrical system. It also improves usability – meaning you’re more likely to keep outdoor equipment tidy, safe and ready to use.
Correct enclosure rating and sealed cable entry reduces risk from rain and damp conditions.
No more reels through doors – power exactly where you use it: patio, shed, driveway or garden room.
Stable supply and robust fittings help avoid nuisance trips and intermittent faults caused by poor DIY installations.
