The 250', of 3/4" PE pipe might have worked but, any pipe or tubing using couplers every 10-20' is not going to give much water flow because of the pressure losses.
Is the line flat or does it go up/down hill to the shop? If up hill, that's more pressure loss; like .422 psi per foot of elevation.
And if you have a jet pump (above ground)... they usually aren't going to work too well for this type application. Especially when the house is using water when you want water in the shop.
