How to install an outdoor electrical outlet?
Answers:
You'll need to be a little more specific in your question. In general, an outdoor outlet is installed pretty much like an indoor one, except you need to use a weatherproof box. Also, the electric code will require that it be a GFI recepticale(like you'd use in a bathroom or kitchen), unless the circuit breaker for the circuit provides ground fault protection.
ADDITIONAL INFO: They make special wire that can be buried and it needs to be buried at a depth prescribed by local & national codes. I'm usually ultra-conservative & use that underground-rated cable & give it additional protection by running it through PVC conduit. There will also be specific codes that cover how you take the cable into the ground & where it exits the ground; they'll probably require conduit or some other protection of the wire at these locations. When it comes to electrical, the codes can be pretty detailed. LOL

Not a lot of info. For a dedicated circuit, start at the breaker box, install a ground fault breaker, wire out to your weather-proof duplexes. If you just need one duplex, drill through the back of an existing box and wire out to a weather-proof ground fault duplex.

Your question is too broad, as it depends on where you want to mount the outlet. If you mount it on the house, you can just use metal conduit attached to the house with a junction box for the feed from inside the house. If you are running it to a shed or something, you have the whole problem of getting power over to the outbuilding.
