So I decided to put a outdoor socket on my hut, I already have electric to the hut so it was just a matter of 3 core wire between the mains in the hut and the socket.It's just so easy to install, I didn't even bother with the instructions cos it's really straightforward.Take the back plate and pop one of the disks out for the cable to go through, then just screw the back plate to where the socket is needed.Then connect the cable to the front plate (as you would a plug) and then fasten the 4 screws that seal the front.I ran the cable underneath, so put some clear silicone in the hole to make sure no water gets in.( Then you connect the other end to the mains and turn back on the fuse)Durability wise I have had one of these before and it's still good after about 5 years, quality wise it's perfect for my needs and it looks good.Just remember to fasten the bottom clips to make a waterproof seal.

Good solid unit. Easy to install but shame there were no waterproof grommets included.

Simple to fit and appears to be a good quality item. Initially takes significant pressure to open and close the catches, but but I expect this to ease with wear.

Sturdy and strong fully waterproof socket. Good value for the quality

The media could not be loaded. Great outdoor power socket. Used it for 5 months now with no issues at all. Keeps water well out of reach. Very well built and durable. I've installed it myself using YouTube tutorial help. It’s fairly easy if you're good at DIY, but drilling through the wall can be tricky so be sure to check everything carefully before you start 😀.
