I'm sure there's a cheaper answer. But I bought a 75 foot ext cord which is said to be very weather proof. It's flexible (night not be when frozen) and is about an inch thick. Rated 15A. I got it many years ago at Home Depot or Channels with the 50 foot task light, which is also said to be weather proof cord and allows ext capability near the bulb and switch. all 3 prong.
