Question

Can i run a telephone extension reel from the house to a shed.I have electricty in the shed already.?

Answer 1

Yep - but the rain and sunlight is likely to perish the rubber outside of the cable in fairly short order.

Best way to sort this is to buy a length of hose, slit it from end to end, and put the phone cable inside the hose.

If you're really keen, you can then silicon seal the hose again.

Answer 2

You can run it anywhere. As long as its dry.

Answer 3

the simple answer is yes, just measure the length you require if you buy an extension kit all the parts will be included, but I would buy a cordless phone the base station would stay in the house you can then wander around with the phone in your pocket  cordless are very cheap.

Answer 4

any electrical company going to sell outside wire by the foot-just color match hook up

Answer 5

yes but you would have to go to b&q and get a cable tidy or something to keep the water from getting to it

Answer 6

Yes.- you could .

I-would  prefer a "cord-less remote phone"~sounds safer/easier to handle?

Answer 7

Yes. Telephone cables run off a separate power anyway, which is why telephones (except cordless ones) can carry on working during a power cut, so even if you didn't have electricity in the shed you could still run a phone out there.

Make sure the cable is well protected and insulated so that it's not going to get damaged or affected by bad weather.
