Got my new valeting marquee deliverd today :D
i bought a cheap marquee last year as a test, i was looseing a lot of work when it rained, even though we could still do the work inside the carwash building, i figured a marquee outside would help people realise that we can still do the job, fair play if its like a hurricane outside, but the odd bit of drizzle was doing my head in
bought a cheap one from ebay as a test, and it paid for itself on the first weekend
it did not come with any sides, just the roof, i am unable to modify the actual site on my contract, so we chucked the legs into some gardening pots filled with concrete to keep it on the ground
this did the trick, there were still days when we really could do with side panels, etc etc, but there was enough room under the thing to move the car over to one side if the rain was coming down at an angle, i wanted to see if the thing would last so we left it outside all winter, and it was fine, so i made plans to clean it up, add some strengthening bars and have some side panels made up
until a numpty a week or so back wiped it out in there nice motability citroen picasso
claim now in progress with motability insurance
rather then wait about i had to get a new one asap, as we have been forcast for iffy weather and we are booked up till next tuesday now
could not find the same one again on ebay so i upgraded a little bit
clubman spec marquee, its a little smaller then the other but weighs a fecken tonne
ezee up design, takes 2 people minimum to put the thing up, roof is heavy canvas style stuff with a rubberised coating to stop the water, and the side panels are removable for days when its not blowing a huge gale
IIRC it has 3 windows, 2 side doors on zips and the main front door so you can drive the car in

cheapest place i found was fleabay TBH
most places seam to retail over 500, mostly 600ish for the better quality ones with side panels
the cheaper ones have flimsy tubing and dont last as long
mine was buy it now or best offer £300
so i offered 280 to take away the postage and they accepted
