I am not sure if the greenhouse is a service or feeder. I found out a few days ago that I can not attached the service meter box to the greenhouse. Since it is not built onto a foundation it is considered a temporary building according to codes. Temporary buildings can not have a service mounted on the building. At least that is what I was told. So I would assume it is a feeder? shruggy


Another side question.
When I do outside telecom wiring I have to use gel filled compression splices.
Is there a type of splice I should make sure is used or just leave it to the electrician who knows the codes?


My copy of the NEC is getting dated (2017) but if you have no foundation then Section 225 probably applies as a "structure". If you want to bury conduit and then run discrete wires, there is nothing wrong with that. You can direct bury UF if your local inspector definitely does not consider the connection box on the greenhouse as a service entrance. Otherwise you could direct bury USE and get the same results. As to the telephone wiring, contact your local telephone provider, saves a lot of headaches down the road.
