Had a leaflet with 20% off Clarke stuff at machine mart trough the door this week.

Looks great as long as you don't like your grass......

Be mindful of the temperature. I put mine in two poly tunnels joined together and in the summer, the heat loosened all the glue in the tubes and the rub rail fell off

Looks just the job if you've got the space and handy if you need to work on the boat through the winter. For storage, we tend to shrink-wrap boats as it's only £35/meter and very space efficient.

Yeah, we are very exposed here so going to put some extra straps and anchor points in, although it is fitted together with ratchet traps and some screw in anchors that come with it.

Here's another picture with my 585 in it that will give you a better idea of size, an ideal winter workshop for sure...

There's all the specs and the video on this page https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clar...nstant-garage/

I got the 7.3m (the largest one)

I'll have a look to see if I can find a picture of the anchors

Here you go, you get 4 of these, one for each corner, but you'd need more to make sure it doesn't fly away in high winds...

What u gonna do with the grass?

Will become a muddy nightmare by February! Fine for storage. Pain for working... Dropped tools more likely to survive being dropped in the sea!

Its actually an area of compacted type 1 thats about 6 inches deep and the grass has grown on the top with the dirt that comes down in the rain etc
