I don't know what your building codes are like. But here regular wiring can be
run to outbuildings in PVC conduit in a trench.
BTW, what's SWA?

I have 2 small outbuildings that I use as workshops. Both are about 70
metres from the house. I have run 2.5mm SWA to both of them, but I need to
run a proper welder and compressor in them so the 2.5mm is no adequate. I
reckon I probably need 10mm cable, but in SWA that will cost a forture.
So, the question is do I _need_ to use armoured cable, or can I get away
with normal house wiring cable? Obviously I shouldn't bury it. Perhaps I
should suspend it on a rope between trees or something?
Cheers,
Conrad
