20mm will be plenty big enough, the reason it's buried 750mm is to prevent freezing so at the depth insulation is not neccessary but once inside the shed it will need insualtion, to do it to rules, you need to find your incoming water main and dig down to join in and tee off, then dig a trench to the shed at 750mm and come up in the shed, Very work intensive, I would Tee off from the sink inside the house, valve off and go through the wall, then pick a route to the shed that nobodys going to trip over or look an eyesore, like along a fence or tucked in a verge and insulate, In winter,turn it off at the valve,  |
