    need your help guys
    going to run electric to my shed at the end of the garden using armoured cable, is there a minimum depth for the cable to be buried and what distance above the cable should the yellow underground warning tape be laid

    20" depth, more than enough.
    Sand, lay cable, sand again, lay yellow warning tape.
    Then backfill.:)

    Sand only neccessary if the soil is likely to damage the cable due to stones etc.

    Many soil types are perfectly fine for direct burial, and in fact, many soil types are very sandy!
