How to get electricity outside in a rental?

Hi All,

I am wanting to begin DWC hydroponics outside but don't have  access to an outdoor outlet. 

 

We have sliding doors in our rental with our fly screen and our glass door. We have no windows. I was thinking something along the lines of installing (with permission from landlord) one of these:

And then running a cord from indoors out there. But no guarantee the landlord will be okay with that.

But if anyone has any other ideas please let me know!

Cheers!

Hiya, definitely going with the back to back quote option. Would have been great to feed it outside a window but alas we have none. But thank you. I did not consider the outdoor electric box so appreciate it!
