can you put a window in the shed or replace a panel with fibreglass/wood/some 
non-metal? How about a ventpipe lambda/2 in diameter with a circular rf-horn on 
the outside? A yagi on the outside with coax through the wall? Put in a 
skylight, with a flat plate metal reflector above it (or Al backed insulation), 
pointing down into the shed? Cut a series of lambda/2 slots in the wall facing 
the free wifi and use the slots as a sector antenna (cover the slots with a 
sheet of thick plastic).
