As I have recently had to dig a trench through the front yard to replace the main incoming waterline, I thought it would be a great idea to include other services in the same trench.
So now I have ...
Pipe for Water - this is good
1X conduit for NBN
1x conduit for mains power to centre of front yard and front fence
1x conduit for comms to front fence
1x conduit for Extra low voltage and comms to centre of yard and front fence
This means I can leave my Christmas lighting "Backbone cabling" inplace from year to year reducing setup/breakup time and reduce the amount of cables snaking around the yard being a trip hazard.
I am also hoping that this will reduce Faults on comms cables from setup/breakup storage and seasonal use.
It is cheap to put conduit in the ground if you need to have a trench for another purpose - just be aware that there are regulations for service separation so be sure to consult your local expert / tradie
