    I am looking to put a summer house in the garden I already have an armoured cable which is running to the garden shed at the bottom of the garden which powers a light and 1 x double socket. The summer house will sit between the house and the Garden shed My question would be I would like to put in 3 double sockets into the summer house could I put a junction box within the armoured cable that runs to the garden shed and feed electric into the summer house and then connecting all 3 sockets in sequence. Is this a safe method.
