Garden Speakers

Looking to get some speakers for the decking, so we can have a little music outside.I've seen wireless ones which transmit from the hi-fi, but they need plugging in to the mains, which rather defeats the object - no power on the deck.They don't have to look like rocks or anything.SWMBO has some wireless headphone which plug into the 'phones' socket on the hi-fi (Sony).So, question is; Can I just use a speaker extension lead of say 10 metres which will plug into the 'phones' socket and connect the other end to some outdoor speakers? Like these? I could build a box for them out of deck boardsWould I lose anything over the cable length, what ohms do I need & how would I connect the cable to the speakers - bearing in mind I am to electronics what Colonel Custer is to Indian fighting.
