Whats this worth

[Dean Lofthouse]

55ft long by 20ft wide no covering and buyer removes

 

I'm thinking of having this the owner wants £1k for it ????? Bit awkward to get it out, access is crap

 

Is it worth £1k or should I chip him

[Tree Man Tom]

Looks pretty small, i would say no more than £400 if your having to take it down.

[moorcrofttreesurgery]

should be payin you to take that down

Dean,

 

I took a 21' by 80' two years ago. Gave £250 for it, kept it one year then decided it was too big for the garden and sold it on ebay for £600.

 

It took half a day to take down and another half day with digger to extract and shift the concrete around each post and clear the site (part of the deal).

 

Note that the older ones as in your picture have alot of unusable space, the newer ones have straight sides upto 1 meter. It makes a massive difference especially if you are thinking about stacking pallets of firewood in it - less so if you are growing stuff in it.

[Joy Yeomans]

no more than £200 imo - depends how its in the ground, some are just bang into the soil then what holds them down is the cover buried under soil at the edges, this is stronger than using concrete -

 

someone we know who bought one second hand put his posts in concrete then attached the sheet to scaffolding boards along the bottom edge, in Oct 08 winds it took off like a kite pulling up the concrete and everything!

 

the sheets are pretty expensive - pretty sure ours new in 06 was only £1000 complete, dont skimp on putting heat protection tape on the bars before new sheet, as it will give your sheet an extra few years life.

 

hope this helps

I wouldnt buy an old tunnel of that design, the newer ones with straight sides are much better than the old semi-circular ones. Certainly not for a grand.

[Tree Man Tom]

Even if it is the old design you can clamp rails to the bars and attach the cover to that, done it myself.

I didn't think it was worth what he is asking, he reckoned it was £9K new

 

Its a garden centre thats selling it so they are going to have the new price too much in mind

[Mick Stockbridge]

Its only worth what he can get for it, offer him £200 and leave him to mull it over......I bet he rings you in a few days time and says come and get it.

I'll do that Mick

 

I think he's going to try and sell it so I'll just tell him to ring me if it doesn't go
