For less than a hundred bucks, you can buy a commercial, weatherproof
solution. Something like the engenious enh200 (I've used a slightly
older model, which would also work, and be cheaper.) would do just
fine. It's powered over ethernet, so all you need to do is run one
cat 5 cable to it, point it at your shop, and call it a day. couple
km of range, depending. (Two, carefully aimed, will do a couple
miles, more if you've got optical line of sight.)
