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.

I've bought a couple of static caravans before (the shame!), and I think portakabins are pretty much the same construction. If so, they are built on a metal frame.

If you buy one secondhand, check the condition of the frame. I bought a cheap one once and tried to move it, only for it to fall apart where the frame had gone rusty hehe

Ho hum... whistle

Would really prefer new over used, and I don't want caravans.

Well I guess the construction of £500 static caravans is of no consequence to you then! As you were!
