Connecting onto a existing wireless network

Yes you should be able to do this...
But why not connect a repeater to this areal so you can
use your devices in your shed without the external
antenna?

Hi

Because of the distance (250 meters), you probably would need two
directional Antennae.

One at the source and one at the clients.

You would have to buy additional Hardware (beside the Antennae) depending on
your preference, there are few options.
