What about Ethernet Over Mains?

Ethernet over Mains - worth going for the fastest kit (200Mbps?) as it is also more stable. Beware of incompatibilities.

However cable is the only choice if you want gigabit ethernet speeds.

Why not run the cable through a hosepipe to keep the elements off it?

Yep, we tried that.

Which standard did you use? Maybe recent N might work - supposedly it is more resistant to interference.

That sounds fit for this purpose.

I've run CAT5 outside a building and it's been fine. Some extra shielding/insulation would be nice - maybe maplins have something in their cable section at the back of the shop?
