Yes, I did think about a greenhouse, cheers. Trouble is I've yet to find one with a door wide enough to get a tractor into!

 

Might just see what comes up locally and affordably...

Should be able to adapt it quite easily as would only be an aluminium section crossbar or upright

Good point, I can cope with using a hacksaw on it!

Hi Sandspider, bit late posting on the thread, been working away this week and only just saw it. We do marquee work in the summer and coppicing/thinning/charcoal winter and around the marquee work.

I think you should look at frame marquees, they are temporary structures, got a feeling the 28 day limit is for events on one site ( been a while since I've had to remember the rules for this  as its not the kind of marquee work I get involved in now). Lots used for temporary storage, I know of some that have been temporary for 20 years (we've got one in our yard that's been there for 10 years at least, so long I can't remember when it went up). Also got a 2.1m x 6m frame in my garden as a log store, sides but no ends (4 1/2 years).

They have eave height of 2.4m ridge about 3.5/4m. The alu. frame will last for ever these covers easily 25 years and counting.

From hocker/hoecker or roder/roeder good for winds up to 60/70mph.

Have a look on www.curlew.co.uk its the marquee trade 2nd hand website. Probably cost you around £500 one single 3m bay of 3/4m wide. Might get a 6mx6m pagoda/witches hat for the same money, about£1000 3/4mx 6m.

Who would've thought there was a website for 2nd hand marquees!

 

I like this one, it's a local company that makes prefab houses that's selling it

Thanks a lot Ernie, that's a really useful website. Good to know specific brands, and how long a good frame marquee will last.

 

Cheers.

Have a look at northern polytunnels

 

They do a  range of agri structures & covers as well as polytunnels

 

Not cheap though
