Installing a new outlet on my patio

What else will I need?
I’ve got Romex 12/2 wire, a 20amp single pole breaker, a gfci outlet and a breaker box.
I want to run it from the panel inside and through the attic, then down onto the patio wall.

Does your 12/2 Romex have a ground wire?

What’s the plan for the last segment? From the attic to the box? Are you running the Romex inside the wall and cutting into the exterior wall surface to mount the box and outlet?

You’re running a whole new circuit for this? There’s not another outlet or light you could use to power this?
If you’re keeping everything enclosed in the walls or attic, and just punching through the wall, the Romex is fine. If it will be exposed, you’ll need to protect it with EMT or MC.
You’ll need a receptacle box. Either to cut into the wall, old work, or a surface mount (metal or weatherproof). If you use metal be sure to tie the box to the ground wire in addition to the receptacle.

What to you plan on using in this receptacle? General use or other?
