Awesome......and thanks......Seems like you got it. But 6 is what is used for ground rods and 4 if it's subject to damage. I always just get #4 stranded. Easy to bend and not too expensive.
You could always run another piece of conduit it's cheap enough if you want tv or phone out in the shed.
They must be big if they can chew that wire. Also good idea to use MC cable there. My uncle had all his wire chewed up in his garage.I'll sleeve it from the floor into the ground since I have some chew happy animals around here.
LOL......it's only outside. The shed is completely sealed and closed up. I have a computer, stereo, TV and carpeting in there. Wiring is still done up along the top eve though away from the ground so its protected.They must be big if they can chew that wire. Also good idea to use MC cable there.

Ground rods are not optional.Ground rod is optional, no? But obviously ground and neutral should not be bonded at the subpanel.
So what's the rule - detached structure requires ground rod? In fact all my detached structures have been pump houses and I ground to the well casing. But clearly a subpanel within the same structure as the panel doesn't require a separate ground rod, though I'm under the impression that it's ok to install one if one wanted.Ground rods are not optional.
All sub panels in detached structures require ground rods and four wire feeds with separate neutral and ground.So what's the rule - detached structure requires ground rod?
