No ISP offers WiFi coverage in outdoor spaces as a specific part of its product lineup.
One DIY solution might be a wireless access point positioned in a window and connected back to the Sky Hub over ethernet cable or Powerline network adapters.
Obviously when broadcasting a signal beyond your property boundary you'd want to be using WPA2-PSK encryption as a minimum, preferably with changed (and complex) wireless credentials.
Also note that unlike its users, hardware such as this doesn't enjoy summer sunshine...
