Finally, a video that just gets to the point! Great video - Thank you!!

[@CHITECHGUY]

Thanks for the education, didn’t feel like paying an electrician, just run an extension cable to the shed along the fence, out of sight out of mind. The outlet is GFCI so if anything gets over used it will pop, should be good enough for me and safety

[@Ukepa]

Great idea!!! I got the GCP2 (2 outlet cords) and can get temporary power and really use my shed

[@MestreTv]

Will be doing this soon. Great Idea!

[@robertkerby2581]

I like it! Well done!

[@allkindsofoutdooractivities]

Great build! Very awesome

[@Jack-Surreal_Panes]

Finally got these. Got the one with the plug and other with dual cords for interior. Idea is run ext cord from the pool pump outlet ( had electricians run 20A buried wire to Pool already). 1770 Run 12/3 ext cord to shed so just plug in now. Have a second outlet for a Cobra street light which plugs into the female outlet from the other end. For now the cords run above ground but run thru 2" PVC. So far the PVC withstood TX sun, weed wacker, mower, and 2 ice storms. Idea is to run a buried line from the 20A but this is TX, you are not hand digging buried wire. LOL. Trencher a must. So far the cords are working fine and the PVC has provided a sturdy temp protection until a trench is made. Like these plugs because if I want to change out the way run or cord size I simply unplug VS unhook wires and things change so if shed gets relocated other changes we are not locked into a line buried here so have to plan around that. A good 12/3 cord 75' still allows good watts and amps without heating and tool lag. Using a 14 I can tell the difference. I moved my DIY street lamp 14' with the potlet plug in shed I easily unplug it and run the cord and pvc housing to the shed, shorter ext cord too. If buried line it would cost to move it.

Great video 📹

[@user-nz2ou5nz9x]

This what I use on my shed too!!

[@patricknichol3384]

exactly what I needed to know thanks

[@Jack-gu7rr]

Excellent video! Just what I was looking for! Thank you! Liked / Subbed...

[@vinmat3558]

Good job! Thanks!

[@unapologeticallycreative8365]

I did the same thing about 2 years ago for my shed/workshop.

[@K.b.173-dog]

Is it still holding up friend? Thinking about doing this to mine.

[@mr.mickles]

Nice. I need one in at lest a 20amp for my bandsaw. I'm sure I can find one.

[@montanausa329]

Or you can just mount an outlet on the outside and make a small cord with male ends on both side.

[@jasonbroom7147]

That works, and I use that same basic product in a portable power station I built, but for a shed located quite a distance from the house we found that a couple solar panels, charge controller, inverter and LFP battery was the way to go.

[@ArturoTheDrummer]

How much did that run you?

[@jasonbroom7147]

@@ArturoTheDrummer - I can't remember exactly, but probably somewhere just under $1,000 for everything. Would be even cheaper, today, with the way costs have fallen on some of this stuff.

[@thebaycuddy]

The outside is connected to the main house?

[@robmccune7949]

How would one install this in an insulated shed?

[@KittnLUXE]

So I had a question about this. I want to try to power shed but will this need the power from within the home to be able to use it? like what exactly did you use to connect this?

[@natureslovefarm]

I have an extension cord running from my barn to the shed using this port. When not in use I disconnect. The plan is still to put a permanent underground wiring but for now this works like a charm!

[@frugalfruits]

what can you run on this power port? Are you running any woodworking power tools

[@chrisfrank8413]

Says 15 Amps on it, i wouldn't go Crazy. lol.

[@gregoryreffner2939]

Yes, the plug is rated at 15amp, but what really matters is what circuit at the main panel the extension cord that is serving as the feeder wire is on. If it's on a 15amp circuit that is consistently drawing 12amps, your gonna pop the breaker anytime you try to run a circular saw.

[@sabrinawynn5695]

Can you hook that to a generator

[@user-uj6ke6sl3e]

Did you use a standard extension cord or contractor grade?

[@captaincoyote1792]

I get what you are doing…but until you have full power permanently installed, and since you’re running an extension cord to this installed outlet, why not just run a heavy duty cord every time? What am I missing here?

[@Pics2FlicksDennis]

I’m guessing the benefit of this is being able to run power, and work in the shed during inclement weather, with the windows and doors closed?

[@artsteadman2230]

@captaincoyote1792...IF you listened to him...

[@krissanchez4816]

I think the same. Why not just run an extension cord through the hole , that has multiple outlets?

[@naturewatcher7596]

Didn't get it. What is the difference from just using an extension cord which, I guess, you used anyway to plug in that port?

[@skyhunter1981]

Seems like a waste of money lol

[@Ubertrash]

I'm getting this because running a cord through my open shed door is annoying. It's a tripping hazard and the door doesn't shut right.

[@snickerdoooodle]

It's a clean way to have an extension cord that's out of the way and still lets you close the door.

[@stbam1965]

JUST DRILL THE HEFFER. MY GOD!

[@michaelgolden7380]

Where do I find this at

[@allkindsofoutdooractivities]

Amazon

[@treycadden8846]

Why not just plug your surge protector into the extension cord that u are running to this waste of money? This us just another break in the wire to lose power and amps

[@snickerdoooodle]

You're asking why he doesn't just run it through the door so that its in the way and he can't properly shut it? I mean, you do what you want to your shed but this is a clean install.
