Challenging house structure for Google Nest wifi and long distance wifi

Hi Gurus 

I have a double brick house, internal walls also double brick, 2 story house with a tin roof and an internal tin feature over the HUB.
The hub is located at one end of a 30 metre long house. We achieve okish links with 3 wifi points, but it really could be better.

There are no crawl space access points to run ethernet to shift the hub centrally easily. 

I also want to be able to create a wifi point to my shed, but that is a good 30 to 40 metres away from the outside wall of the house.

I'm considering adding another H2E wifi access point to the back of the house, under cover of course, but am fairly sure that won't reach the shed. 
I'll give that a go first.

I'm wondering if I should be looking to run a CHANEVE 1-3KM Long Distance WiFi Access or similar point to the back of the house and work out how to get the ethernet cable to where I mount it on the side of the house?

Are there other solutions I haven't picked up on that would be just as functional, or maybe even better?

I really appreciate reading through these forums and the guidance and practical logic you pass to us all.

cheers

Well, I bought the extra Nest WI-FI point, plugged it in on the veranda at the back of the house, and I have Wi-Fi access 30 meters away in the shed. Not full, but certainly workable. 
I'll just leave this here for others to see if they are having a similar issue and before they spend lots on extra solutions without first trying an extra Access Point.
