Hi All, Happy new year

 

I cant afford a nice shiny steel portal framed shed with concrete walls and floor so I am thinking of buying a 6m x 18m storage tent marquee thing from a company called dancover to store the firewood I produce from thinning my woodland, which I am thinking of making more of an effort to sell next/this year rather than the odd cube here or there.

 

Storage tent, storage shelter, contemporary storage for sale - Dancovershop UK

 

Has anybody got any experience of these tents or this company?

 

Using one of these tents will also mean i have to continue storing logs in stillages i make up from pallets (i was hoping to move to a bulk tipped system to reduce double handling) but my thoughts are that I can probably make the two grand or so this tent costs a lot quicker than the ten grand or so a proper shed will cost!

 

Thanks In advance

You can always put scaffold pole extensions onto the poly tunnel frames to increase the height.

2k for a tent. why not get some scaffold poles then some tin for roof and sides jobs done and you build it to the size you want build a good one for less than 2k and will withstand the winds. or wood get reclaim wood.

Poly tunnels used for growing veg etc are too small for a tractor & loader. Try looking at the animal housing ones, even got plenty of base ventilation and the mesh keeps the worst of the wet out. My neighbour clears his with a tractor & loader once he's lambed/ calved.

You can get them many different sizes.

 

I currently have my unimog (which is just under 12' high) packed in mine, while I carry out some repairs.

 

A pollytunnel also has the advantage of not needing lighting during daylight hours.

What about any condensation using a poly tunnel,is it a probem at all?

 

Or with the ends open is there enough breeze through?
