Also take a good look at the connectors. Are the cheap looking or well made. In either case if you use an extension cord, it’s good to not let the connections get wet.

When my connectors fail (older cords) the replacement includes handles.

I know some fill their DIY connectors with silicon calk but I want the ability to take they apart and clean with baking soda and vinegar and never had a rain problem. Plus the blades and then the inside will get wet anyway unless they are covered.

Wire quality can be a concern. Copper coated aluminum for example.

Lower voltage can be a concern depending upon load, wire quality and pedestal voltage.
