Personally I've just buried mine in the ground and covered with
bricks/slates to stop me putting a spade through it. Weather shouldn't be a
problem but if you do want to sheath it in something I would have thought
that standard hosepipe would stop most things chewing through it. For
something more robust you could try 15mm plastic plumbing pipe.

What would people suggest as a cheap way to afford a bit of protection to
some low votage (24v) electrical cable running between a shed and a pond
pump?

Basically we're talking protection from the elements and from
rodents/anything else that might nibble at it..

Hosepipe seems the obvious choice, but the local Focus and builders
merchants don't seem to have anything other than "normal" garden hose,
which isn't wide enough..
