CPE
If you need to beam wireless to an outdoor building, the best way is with a pair of CPEs. Read Ars Technica's guide here. Just buy a CPE for your house, a CPE for your other building, and a wireless access point to broadcast the new wireless connection. Note that if you are using PoE, you can use the included PoE injector or make sure to buy a PoE switch.

Mounting Pole
Fixed Base Heater Stand
I find a heater stand to be a very suitable simple pole to mount CPEs to.
