I have been thinking a bit about the outdoor facilities today and have a question about the electrical system. Currently planned are a garden shed, carport/garage, and possibly an outdoor sauna if there is money left in the end. Of course, the whole thing also needs a bit of electricity:
- in the garden shed, there should be a workbench, and there definitely needs to be power for various tools. For garden equipment, a high-voltage connection might also not be a bad idea, but I am a bit unsure about that
- in the carport, currently only a lamp is needed, but since we are all supposed to drive electric cars soon, I would definitely plan for high power demand there
- the sauna is planned to be electric because it is more convenient and there is no chimney sweep, also high voltage
- lamps for the driveway are unnecessary since we plan a short driveway and a light from the carport/garage is sufficient; the same should apply for the path to the front door
Now the question is a bit about how to do this most cleverly. One possibility would be to have the construction partner lay 3 cables outside. That is probably not cheap since high voltage is needed everywhere. But it would also have the advantage that the garden shed could be switched off from inside. The other idea would be to lay only one three-phase cable outside at first and install a sub-distribution board in the garden shed to which the rest would then be connected. But I am unsure if that wouldn’t cause more costs in the end
