No trickier than buying the right receptacle and plug. The 5HP washer I have comes with a 35 foot cord so it is fairly portable anyway. I installed receptacles at both ends of the garage so I can use it in the driveway and back on the pool deck. That is pretty much the only place I use a pressure washer anyway.
Wow. That's almost enough to reach outside.

LOL! I guess, theoretically, one could make an extension cord almost any desired length. In a previous home we had a gas dryer, but the area was also supplied with 220 VAC for an electric dryer. I put together an extension cord of about 25 feet to reach a commercial flash freeing unit that sat on our enclosed utility porch. I would have had an additional outlet installed, but we only planned to stay there a couple of years. Worked fine for the duration. All you need is the appropriate plug, socket, and 8 guage wire in the high voltage cable. Most of the big box stores carry these parts. I used the twist lock connectors to prevent accidental disconnections.
Put 135 feet of hose on it and where in the yard won't it reach
