  • Page 17 tips FOR Running lOw VOltage cable yOuRselF. always use conduit if running cable in grass, open ground, gardens or pebbles. grey conduit is best. conduit should be buried deep enough so it is out of harms way. for existing lawns, pebbled areas or if run along side a driveway then buried just below the surface is fine.
