Site fabricated wooden trunking/capping
Former Community Member
Saw this in a wooden summerhouse, the owner has created his own wooden capping to conceal the cables of a ring final circuit. I was wondering if this might create a safe zone issue where it runs along the bottom edge of the room. The cable is obviously not "buried in a wall at a depth < 50mm but could somebody inadvertently screw something to it. Is it concealed wiring or wooden trunking? Would it get a code if doing a EICR?
I'd say it was concealed on a wall, not concealed in a wall - so 522.6.202 etc don't apply. So yes, in effect, it's decorative timber trunking. In essence no difference to those PVC trunking systems that pretend to be cornice or dado or skirting boards.
