[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1115258, member: 176704"] PS: here's a couple of other ideas: - when we had our conservatory built, I laid a 4m length (but it looks like you can only buy 1m lengths nowadays) of something like this 1[URL='https://www.toolstation.com/100-flat-channel/p39632']00mmx50mm "flat channel"[/URL] under the conservatory floor (then it was screeded over) to take 4x sat cables from under the lounge floor to the garden. Let's say "I wouldn't do that!" - not for "fire/shock" reasons but because bugs etc., might start "eating" it (as might rats or squirrels if they smell and find it)! "Very little footfall" means that the soil under the slabs (they are "slabs", not "slaps" BTW!) won't fully compacted for a long time and might not be that stable -> loose soil -> bugs/rats -> see above! Also, if you are going to lay 3x cables, then actually use [B]4x[/B] in case of "cable failure" &/or you might want to expand your sat system in future -> there's a spare cable ready for you to use - I later wished I'd done that as adding extra cables under the conservatory and lounge floors is pretty much impossible without taking those floors up!
