I did consider something like that, on the roof for example.
 
Cats are very smart too, they somehow get on a lower roof, then make
noises in front of my bedroom,, They first jump on a garbage container and
from there on the roof, clime to the top of that, from there they can, if
they want, get to the main house roof.

Leave the lids of the containers open and see what happens.

That is not such a good idea, one has things like banana peels, other fruit and garden throw-aways
and thousands of insects will then gather around and in it...
Those then will also try to explore indoors if you even open a door or window for a few minutes.
I use a bottle filled with a bit of apple juice covered with some foil wih small holes in it to
trap insects like that, mostly in summer.
Maybe other lifeforms will goi for the containers too, rats? I have seen a rabbit in the garden!
Chicken!

I do not want cats dead, those are OK..

You may
have to rescue some protesting cats but they might think twice about
using that route in the future.

I see you also have a ricketty wooden garden shed.  Mine is my main
electronics workshop (being small, it is easy to heat in Winter).  The
bigger stuff, like the lathe, lives in a spare downstairs room.

I keep my bike and a electric grass mower and some tables and chairs I can put out on the grass there..
I have converted an upstairs room here into a soldering and electronics assembly spot,
the lower building next to the containers houses the washing machine, some other stuff, like flexible solar panels
that I can put pout on the grass, or on a boat, big boxes with electronics... what not.

In the back of the garden grow grapes :-)
