2.Use # 8 THWN wire to run the 105 ' from parking garage to out building in 1 " plastic conduit .
3.Install small circuit breaker box in out building , maybe 8-10 circuit capacity .
4.Install two 20 amp single pole breakers in out building box . One will feed 5-6 outlets inside the building . The other will feed two UFO high bay LED lights . Wire used will be # 12 for all .

Does this sound about right ? This is not a work shop . Outlets will be used for a battery charger for tractor or anything with minimal draw . I was thinking I might be able to get away with # 10 wire ? And maybe use a 20 or 25 amp double pole breaker ? Fire away gentleman
Install a means of disconnect for 8-10 circuit panel, main breaker panel or disconnect switch. Ground rods according to local code with no bonding screw installed in sub panel.
