[QUOTE="RickN, post: 4159197, member: 8854"] I spent many years working as an Electrician and helper. We never used metal conduit underground. It will rust out to quick. Use PVC or UF cable and save yourself a lot of headaches down the road. You may have to dig a little deeper but it will pay off in the long run. If you are planning on using any large power tools out there, use at least a 30 amp breaker and 10 gauge wire for the main run. You can use 12 inside the shed. . Also remember the longer the run, the more voltage drop you will have. [/QUOTE]
