I have Wifi to my house and a landline.
I need to get WiFi to an outside building where there will be no landline and its @ 10m from the house. Can I just have another router installed as the easiest way to get WiFi in the building?

To run an ethernet, it would require @ 30m run around the front of my house, down the side, along a fence line to the new building.

No: as @GD1 indicates having two routers on the same domestic network is almost never appropriate.
Ethernet works up to 100 metres. Without that you're looking at Powerline adaptors or point-to-point wireless hardware, either of which is considerable less reliable.
