Go simple.
I had to span 15m using CAT5. Ran fencing wire between two eye hooks
screwed under each eve to support CAT5.
Cable ties to attach CAT5 to wire, make a 'U' at each end to make sure
that rain can't run inside the house and leave a little slack.
15 minutes, Gb throughput. If you make it so the wire can easily come
off the eye hooks you can replace the cable if you need to.

That's what I'd heard as well. It's to network the gottage - or should I say
goffice? - which I've thrown up a bit of ordinary cat5 for the moment, which
won't last the winter. With those data rates, I might as well put in a wireless
bridge - much cheaper, too (:
Putting cat5 in walls with RJ45 sockets on a nice wallplate is not difficult.
Floor - concrete or wooden floorboards?
Roofspace?
Roof - steel or concrete rooftiles?
Outer cladding - brick? Weatherboard? other?
On brick houses there is a gap between the timber framing and the
brick which is good for dropping cable down from the roofspace to a
wall socket.
Internal walls - gib or lathe-and-plaster? Lathe-and-plaster walls are
often dwang-less which makes dropping wires down them quite easy.
Dwangs can be drilled straight down from the top-plate but this is a pain.
There are options.

Hi Yuri, long time no hear! Unfortunately, the goffice is about 15m from the
house, which limits my options to digging a trench ion the clay or suspending
it in the air ( which tends to have a low WAF ).
Cheers,
Steve
