Installing 2 New Outdoor Outlets for a customer, what would you rate this install? #electrician
What happens here
The project begins with an initial assessment of the new deck under construction. The goal is to install two outdoor electrical outlets: one by raising an existing outlet to the new deck height, and a second new outlet on the opposite end of the deck. This step involves visually inspecting the deck layout and discussing with any other construction professionals (like the carpenter in the video) to confirm optimal and safe placement for the outlets, considering future deck finishing and usage.
Goal: Determine optimal locations and plan for outdoor electrical outlets on the new deck.
Tools and materials
- Existing Deck Structure — The base structure onto which the outlets will be installed
- Existing Outdoor Outlet — The outlet that needs to be relocated/raised
- Pencil — Marking potential outlet locations on the house siding or deck structure
- Tape Measure — Measuring distances and heights for accurate outlet placement
