Stevo has lots of posts on his set up in the diy thread eg. https://www.lfgss.com/comments/17510095/
Fwiw my situation is:
an armoured cable plugged in a socket in a brick shed > out a hole > under the patio > properly wired into an outdoor socket
I only use it for Xmas lights for Halloween and Xmas, with potential for use in the summer for a hifi or something. So the majority of the time it's physically unplugged, then switched off out of hours.
Here is a video I saved for the outdoor socket as I found it very hard to find a good guide on

If you already have an outdoor socket and it's a semi perm thing, I'd be tempted to do a proper job with a permanent socket in the shed. Either diy with the proper research or paying an electrician.
