Each light was connected using the same type of cable to surface-mounted electrical switches.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Step 3: Adding Power Sockets<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To create 12 electrical points, we installed six double surface-mounted sockets.<br \/>\nFor this part, we used 25 meters of 3 \u00d7 2.5 mm electrical cable and the same brown plastic covers to maintain a consistent look.<\/p>\n<p>The cables and covers were neatly placed just above the skirting boards, and each double socket was mounted and connected accordingly.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Step 4: Finishing Touches and Costs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This simple installation method is one of the quickest and most efficient ways to bring electricity into your garden building.<\/p>\n<p>All materials \u2014 including cables, covers, sockets, switches, six wall lamps, and two ceiling lamps \u2014 were purchased from Leroy Merlin for just under \u20ac500.<br \/>\nThe full installation took a professional electrician one full working day to complete.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this guide, we\u2019ll show you one of the easiest, fastest, and most cost-effective ways to install electricity, sockets, and lighting in a wooden garden cabin.
