Dryer in a shed ?

alxmorgan

Hello all,

new baby on the way soon and thinking we need a dryer.
However we really have nowhere in the house for one and so was thinking of putting it in the shed.

So two questions:

1) Any reason this would be a safety hazard

2) How do I get power out there without digging up the garden

btw its a wooden shed

thanks

i live in a static holiday home on a nature reserve near blackpool[UK] and i have a plastic shed that i have put both my washing machine and dryer in,its perfect as we do not get any of the condensation in my home

But how do I get power out there ?

all outdoor power leeds [like the type you use for lawn mowers]are fully waterproof,but if in doubt run the leed through a thin plastic pipe underground,you can get these cheaply at any DIY shop
