Most features of this are good. The spike works well giving a firm location. Plenty of cable at 5mts. Many others on sale have only 3mts. The only downside, as others have pointed out, is that the socket cover will not fully close once a plug is inserted, making it potentially unsafe. I made mine as waterproof as possible by cutting a slot out of the sprung flap to accomodate the cable. It now closes almost fully. Using a compact plug helps too. The size of plugs varies a lot. Beware, if you want to use it with a transformer for, say garden lights, it's no use as those won't fit under the socket covers. Otherwise, if it suits your requirements, it's good value

The covers on this socket set do not fully cover a UK standard 13amp plug, they need to be forced shut, not ideal. However, therein lies another problem, the socket covers are rigid plastic and have no flexibility or allowance for the cable to run out hence, no chance whatsoever of closing them which means it's really not waterproof at all.

This is a good product but its use is limited by the fact that the plastic covers over the sockets are not cut out to allow the cable of a 13 amp plug to clear the cover if it's left in the socket. Consequently there will not be an adequate waterproof seal when in use. So, it's not suitable for any permanent installation.

Wiring looks strong but housing is very plastic . The covers might well keep out water but there are no rubber seals just plastic to plastic. Still functioning after two weeks. Low cost you get what you pay for.

Very impressed, I'm using it in my greenhouse and has proved to be very simple to use and versatile - it can moved around depending on what I'm growing and where.
