a stand for the new track

[mugenmark]

hi forward thinking,but the pic i posted show westmills track,if you look at the container it been converted to a stand,it proberly the cheapest way to make a stand for the drivers and gives the heigth you need to see the track as well as storage or a club room,so if anyone got contact where we could aquire one?stand.jpg and a good welder ?

I would caution the use of a container as the stand.

Through experience I have prevented storage on top of containers at work as they bend and this creates an area where rain water pools.
The result of this is they rust easily and you end up with a hole in the roof.
If this is to be the route we go down then we will need to put additional support inside the container (a couple of acro props should do it) and think about putting an additional flooring layer on top of the container (marine ply or something similar).
I am in the process of pricing an amount of scaffold tube from a supplier and will pass this info on as soon as I have it. This would be for the creation of stands / hand rails etc.
I also have access to containers and vehicles to move them. If either is required, let me know.

You may find that a container is approx a thousand quid for a good one where as I paid 200 quid for this beauty!!



I made the stairs myself and the floor boards are reclaimed scaff planks. the pit bench being OSB board all in all cost about 350 quid

yes we will need to cover over the top to stop the water,but the container will provide a club house tea making place and somewhere to store the bbq,and i am sure we could convert a container to a toilets,if the club get bigger
