Assuming that you are feeding speaker level outputs to your shed you
could just feed the outdoor speakers in parallel, making sure that the
total parallel load is suitable for the amplifier. If you want to use
another amplifier you would need to attenuate the speaker level feeds
to line level - speaker signals will be of the order of 10V line
inputs are usually about 0.2V. The quality won't be perfect, but
that's probably not a problem for garden speakers.
