    We have 2 plugs on the back of our garage, the code here allows a regular plug to run off the gfci as it will still trip when needed, check your code where you live.

    Call an electrician, avoid the hassle, it will be done right, and avoid a fire.

    If you are not an electrician don't do it as there are rules for this sort of outdoor waterproof fittings, unless you are continuing the house ring circuit properly you may only fit a spur at 15A SINGLE SOCKET with the RCD protection that's the law eric

    Consult or hire an electrician. GFCI are not straight forward. There are configurations that can nullify the function of the GFCI outlet.
