Reviews

Colin Andrews

One year on and we have found the shelter to be a very solid structure. The use of bolts instead of “self-tapping” screws in the structure goes a long way to giving it strength. Good paint finish and good value for money.It replaced a shelter costing 25% more which lasted until the first firm wind came along. Less than 2 months.

Planning and Designing

Navigating planning permission can be daunting, but in most cases, full consent isn’t required. Seeking advice from local authorities is prudent, especially regarding outline plans and shelter positioning.

Positioning the shelter correctly is paramount, ensuring at least 50% openness for air flow and locating it 1.5m away from buildings.
