That car capsule looks like just the right thing, if I had £300 to spare haha! Got about £100 to throw at it - also should have mentioned that she would very rarely see snow, she will be in the garage at home over the winter months (flame me as you will, i want her to last :D) so it only needs to protect from rain in spring, summer and autumn :)

I would ask for a.price roofless, but it does have to fit into a 5 x 5 space - with 6m id be on the path and the council would come knocking haha.

That is brilliant! :D

These are quite pricey but I'd like one:

Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me: your pride and joy nestled under huge kite.

Thats the sort of thing im swaying towards Cerbeeus, one piece covering so less chance for the wind to get under it. It will be properly fixed down - bricks weighing.down the material at the edges, 4 sand bags and an anchor kit from ebay which screws it into the ground, it wont be going anywhere!

Seen these from Machine Mart?, a bit over your budget but maybe worth a look.

i did this once and it fell apart in strong winds, i should have rope and anchored it down properly from the start but was too late after it blew down. i still remember the night it did blow down, i had a hard day at work, just arrived home with a curry read for the football and saw it up the end of my garden. so missed the first 20 mins and cold curry. i was NOT happy. i felt like barry from eastenders lol.

you can cut the horizontal rails to make it 5m long......yours if you want it.....its only going to be in the way here....Ive got other marquees that are more suited to what we need at shows, this was bought as an emergency marquee for a client, used once....I tried it in Hungary at IMM but found it a bit of a pain in the arris to set up for just a day or two....its much better suited to a long term use

Ask every one you know in the army if indeed you know anyone and try for a 12 x 12 tent these are pretty hardy if pinned and anchored with the storm lashings waterproof and don't condensate too much.

Could you not obtain as Asda trolley bay. Minis seem to fit in these and they are strong. (other supermarkets are available)
