  • with the sun shining again today my thoughts are turning back to finally running my ethernet to the summer house so i can close the trench i dug almost 10 months ago.

    the trench through the garden is about 6m long and then the decking is about another 6m where it will run above ground and the conduit will have to run around the side of the summerhouse and enter about 2m up the wall.

    obviously fishing 14/15m of conduit in the future would be a major pain in the arse if i need to re-do the runs so i'm wondering if it makes sense to split the conduit under the decking and put an appropriately ip rated junction box in the middle so i can fish it through in two sections instead of one. means i can also replace sections under the deck without digging the trench back up. have plenty of cable glands and an assortment of boxes ready to do so probably don't need any additional kit to do it just wondering if it's as smart as I think it is or if i've overlooked something.

  • Buy a cheap reel of polypropylene rope from Toolstation/Screwfix.
    Feed this into the conduit, so you can pull your cables through at your convenience.
    Maybe have two pull lines?
    Who knows what you might like to do in the future?
