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

 

Just what you need Micky, looks a little close on the front end of your car tho. Could be the pic. Gonna have to get my car done at some point so expect a phone call.

 

the car could go a little further back TBH but the legnth is 5.5 metres i think?

 

Looks great, perfect for showery days - got a link to any sites selling them?

 

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
