Portakabin type buildings?

[Chris_w666]

Does anyone have any experience of buying or selling these things?

I need something ideally 14ft wide x 40ft long to use as a classroom for 4/5 years. I have found one that does the job but not many manufacturers seem to make them over 12ft wide.

Modular buildings are an option but they may end up too wide for the space I have to use.

ETA: Also posted in business forum because I fear this will get lost in here.

Hmm, I wonder if the planners would allow that.

Urban Space Management are responsible for Container City - http://www.containercity.com/ They were fitting out some class rooms ready for delivery to site when I last went there a couple of weeks ago.

Any of the "mobile home" manufacturers will build one for you. Built in two halves on a chassis and coupled together on site. Try this company (my old family business before I sold up)

Mention my name for a cracking discount

Sounds a good idea but how suitable are those things for classroom useage? Oh and would one work out cheaper than a basic portakabin?
