Consider a cost-effective option that works well with your setup. Since the shed is in line of sight and has metal walls, you could try installing a small outdoor antenna or a fixed Wi-Fi router positioned nearby to improve signal strength. This would give you reliable internet without major construction changes.
ubnt.com offers exactly what you need. I rely on them for similar setups and they perform well. I suggest installing a few nano stations (Loco5AC) as shown here: https://www.ui.com/airmax/nanostation-ac/. The investment should be about $200 – roughly $45 to $60 per unit, $10 to $15 for two PoE injectors, around $30 for a wireless router for the shed (if you don’t already have one), plus any mounting hardware you prefer. They support speeds up to 450 Mb/s, but in real-world use I’ve achieved over 500 Mb/s at 75 yards using suction cups inside windows, allowing connectivity through glass and branches. That’s more than half my gigabit connection from the other building without trenching. They’re rated for up to 10 km, so extending to 120 yards shouldn’t change much. Check out this video: I can confirm the results match his description. They connect via Ethernet, so if your router or access point doesn’t support it, you’ll need PoE injectors as well.
