That description sounds like you'll eventually buy a digger anyway. So lay underground fiber, in conduit once you have one.

For conduit, I like to use large bore (40mm outside diameter which works out to ~33mm inside) underground PE water pipe because it can take one hell of a beating and forces you to make gentle bends (easier to work with than sharp 90 degree bends when pulling fiber). It's a bit of a bitch to lay on account of being very stiff but it's worth it. Use a pipe cutter (pic related) to cut them cleanly. There are cable gland like double fittings you can use to securely connect pipes in the ground.

>Would wireless extenders at points be a decent speed? The lot is pretty flat so LOS wouldn't be an issue.
Forget about that. It'll be unreliable as fuck. If you need wireless, put it up locally and connect it to the upstream network through fiber (and/or copper once you get to wiring up things inside buildings).

>But it seems like running cable along with whatever future electrical extensions might be a better long term decision.
Absolutely. I'd keep electrical and fiber in separate conduits though. Otherwise it'll get very crowded in there and that last minute addition you meant to pull through there will no longer fit ;-)
