Discussing Ubiquiti setup issues
You can use a single Ubiquiti receiver for both setups. The Locos model is ideal as it supports multiple indoor and outdoor locations with minimal configuration.
I faced a comparable issue with a previous client. In their case, I had to set up a line array from the main house to the shack/shed. Expensive, but it functioned. Several years later, I returned to assist them again, only to discover they never utilized the Wi-Fi there. All that investment was wasted, just so they could... well, have the choice. Consider whether you truly require Wi-Fi in such a remote area.
Connect an Ethernet cable to the metal shed. This allows you to place an AP inside easily. Keep running wires whenever possible.
Yes, install a wire directly. A buried CAT6 cable (CAT5e might suffice at short ranges but is now generally recommended) should be laid. You only need to dig about 6 inches deep, though you can adjust based on soil conditions and other factors. Determine the distance to your nearest Ethernet connection.
THIS!!! If you can I would bury conduit and run the cable through it, its just an additional bit of protection and if something happens you can pull a new cable. But atleast in the US you can rent a trenching machine pretty cheaply
