So does the wire you are talking about have the 4 wires I need? I looked at Romex at the store where I will be getting the welder(btw I want a new welder so I know there will be a warranty and I have some idea of what I will be getting, hopefully) and it seemed like the way to go but it seems I can't do that as I need a neutral. For everything including a 100amp 6 space box it is a little under $200. Do you guys think Ace Hardware would have the wiring I need? I'd like to wire up the shed to stop running an extension cord out every time I need something but if need be I can just plug it in at the house outlet. Copper welding leads would still mean that I need to move the welder over to the house and run the cord in through the window, unless I put the welder in the house, which wouldn't make much sense.
So, to be clear, I need a 3 wire(technically a 4 wire) cord that is probably going to need to be 6 gauge or heavier. I also need to get pipe if I don't get outdoor wire. Any idea on what size pipe I should get, the length shouldn't be more than 12 feet going from the point left at the house to the shed for sure, but what about the diameter? I'm pretty sure everything else is taken care of as far as planning. Did I forget anything?
