Hello @Daniel7 

Do you currently have a Nest WiFi Router in your house? If so, then yes, you can follow the details in this page to connect another Nest WiFi Router unit (or a less expensive Google WiFi unit) in your shed as part of the same system: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7215624?hl=en 

You'll need to make sure that cable is connected to an Ethernet network that starts with the LAN port of the primary Nest WiFi Router in your house. I would also pick up a couple of inexpensive (unmanaged) Ethernet switches to put on either end of that long cable run as well, just to isolate the more expensive Nest WiFi devices from it in case of a power surge or lightning strike, too.

Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.

Hi, everyone.
As we haven't had any activity here recently I'm going to go ahead and close the thread. If you have more to add, feel free to start a new discussion.
Thanks
