I have an outside workshop/office that I ran some cat5 cable to some

I understand that such a link can be achieved with suitable adaptors
through the ring main. Has anyone here done this who can offer
advice/guidance as the best and most economical way to go about it?

Frankly it doesn't work

speed is vile, and reliability is poor. If possible sort the cat 5 out
or use optical link or wifi dishes

I would have thought Yagis would be more suitable, smaller, discrete and
less susceptible to wind as well as cheaper?

Flat panel phased array are the typical offering. eg

I do use yagis on my Mifi pebble to get enough signal for full speed 3G
connection though. Pointing is rather tetchy with GHz band yagis.
