I asked about that and the electrician said no because it's not a dwelling.  I'm tempted to cover just those spots, though.

Hoopz:
I wondered if it would matter since it wasn't a house.  I'd cover it with peg board.  Provides some protection and offers utility at the same time.

ChadTower:

Not too bad an idea.  Maybe I can cover it with pictures of Peg Bundy.  Best of both worlds.

I could send you a hair-dryer or something ;)

Overhere we'd run those wires in (flexible) PVC pipes normally. Also, those cables look like stranded right ? Has to be solid core here. However, I've heard they are leaving the rules a bit more free now so it's ok you leave out the pipe.

Since I wanted every single power outlet to power only 1 device, I opted for stranded wire too, and no pipes, would have been very costly. Don't tell anyone ;)

ChadTower:

The yellow wires are solid core... I believe the 240 line to that box is stranded, though.  The lines inside don't need to be in a pipe but everything outdoors does.
