Sounds very good value, I might need some on the side of our new building, but I'll wait to see if it blows in.

Any idea what a 20' x 8' would cost?
Well that one is more or less 14' x 6' cos the odd bit wouldn't have been much good, you could more or less work it out
If you had been to the place they are made you would know why they are good value, lets just say there is not much money wasted on posh premises or hangers on
My kind of outfit

I sell the Secure Covers and what I have noticed over the years is that if a sheet has been punctured (which is very difficult to do) due to it's woven construction that puncture hole dose not get any bigger. Some sheets begin to unravel when punctured/ripped so it's well worth enquiring about how the sheet is manufactured.

Anyone within mainland UK who would like some samples please drop me a PM here on the forum and I'll get something to you.

While we are at it, does anyone have any suggestions on good suppliers of box profile, metal sheeting etc, I'm looking for some decent stuff for the roof, but would happily use seconds, or reclaimed stuff for the lower walls. They will have motorway crash barriers on the inside (up to about 3/4 ft) to give strength, so the wall sheets are just to give protection from the elements.

We make and supply box profile, corrugated and curved galvanized / coated sheets we run from 0.5mm straight Galvanized up to 0.7mm drip stop backed Plastisol coated sheets, with all in the middle to suit budget / needs i'm more than happy to offer a quote when you are ready, and have supplied to a number of people from the forum all with good feed back.

im woundering if anyone can give me a bit of advice, were just putting up a building that is 45x80 ft i was thinking of sheeting the 80ft side with a galebreaker type material off a roll and then nailing yorkshire boarding over the top, would i be better just using the clip on secure covers like in @Great In Grass link (shed has 20ft bays) would work out at £207 per bay, would they be strong enoght and stay tight or would i have to constantly tighten them up?

In my experience galebreakers don't last. Better with doors, tin, yorkshire boarding. We have a door at bottom of one shed and pull down galebreaker to seal it off. Its all torn. Probably our fault but wouldn't buy one again.
