🔌 Be honest… how many extension cords are you running outside right now?
Most people don’t think twice about it — especially in the summer.
Backyard lights, fans, tools, speakers… it all ends up plugged into one cord running out the door.
We see this all the time, and while it works, it’s usually not the safest setup long-term.
Common issues:
• Indoor cords being used outside
• Too much load on one cord
• No GFCI protection
• Outlets not built for weather
We put together a quick breakdown of what’s actually safe (and what’s not) 👇
