The Care Home Sector was hard hit in the first wave, with staff stranded at work, forced to camp out in nursing home gardens so that they didn't endanger their own families or abandon the residents who relied upon their care. Summer camping is all very well, but this wave is hitting as winter creeps in, and care homes are left wondering how they are going to provide housing for staff who need to take care of their residents who rely so greatly on their care.<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUqiLF06SfZOYXlQnplSD5Rdgmzi63xvPC7pq18BPEbrX_roqKs2thkI1Mk9puiRn5S5mO9Mddmmat6yrSQaqxbrcQuYcV7R-26APBpY6adj8R3efjc4pq3b-RVR1nDS51QvYQ0N4l_hGU/s1600/Staff_Arc.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUqiLF06SfZOYXlQnplSD5Rdgmzi63xvPC7pq18BPEbrX_roqKs2thkI1Mk9puiRn5S5mO9Mddmmat6yrSQaqxbrcQuYcV7R-26APBpY6adj8R3efjc4pq3b-RVR1nDS51QvYQ0N4l_hGU/s320/Staff_Arc.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><a href="https://www.pilgrimwood.co.uk/">Pilgrim Wood Residential & Dementia Home</a> in Surrey were determined to keep their staff and residents safe and comfortable during the first wave of Covid-19. The team of staff at Pilgrim Wood provide residents with 24hr personal and social care. When Covid hit the nation, the vulnerability of staff and residents became so great, that they took the decision for staff to camp out on the grounds. Although the determination of staff paid off as Pilgrim remained Covid free, they soon realised that camping for more than a week became unpractical. The team were happy to receive an Alfresco Arch 'Aid Arc' for staff to stay in comfort on the grounds. <p></p><p>"Our staff just couldn't live in tents for weeks, turning to months. The British weather being as unpredictable as it is, my staff members needed more comfort and protection than a canvas tent!." explains Pilgrim Manager, Sharon Mitchell. Sharon continues, "Mark's Arc was mobile, comfortable and an easy solution to our problem during the first wave. We were so pleased with Mark's innovative designs, that we are now ordering 'Covid Visiting Pods' to allow our residents to safely receive visitors even when Covid infection levels are high."</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHnpfECYreoSFmy0oEXKex31rpalkjbzlfGv8pcbtNI0yy4lj7mE1DBBglf8hwAkQq48MNdHn_maimAADI5Kuu_U7w0hKZz2MOInTDDDDOnRmbnXCsQMuUIfutPhaCAkh-Humf83nB4eqy/s960/image-18-10-20-10-43-4.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHnpfECYreoSFmy0oEXKex31rpalkjbzlfGv8pcbtNI0yy4lj7mE1DBBglf8hwAkQq48MNdHn_maimAADI5Kuu_U7w0hKZz2MOInTDDDDOnRmbnXCsQMuUIfutPhaCAkh-Humf83nB4eqy/s320/image-18-10-20-10-43-4.jpeg" /></a></div>The new 'Covid Visiting Pods offers a sheltered area with a sealed screen dividing visitors from residents. Both sides can see and hear each other safely. "Being able to see the smile of loved ones, can make such a difference to our residents." says Sharon. The Visiting Pods are easy to move, in fact 4 people can pick the arc up and move it around.

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">Local product designer, Mark Panton has been working to help create a safer working environment for retailers in Lincoln and the surrounding area during the Covid-19 lockdown and help others to return to their businesses as the country moves forward.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDMR5lgGtHN1ownWSnb9sRzpMCDZLpHL_ISzNZny1D_2yNkQxU6crt4hvp06uMKVahWm0EPIQK6H8FJ2yqUOHnw9yzlNPSZx7Q_kkmQ9AMPtiKSWwJ47Q2cRFVGr82jiCkvfJPCq_rZAqN/s1600/IMG-20200424-WA0003.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDMR5lgGtHN1ownWSnb9sRzpMCDZLpHL_ISzNZny1D_2yNkQxU6crt4hvp06uMKVahWm0EPIQK6H8FJ2yqUOHnw9yzlNPSZx7Q_kkmQ9AMPtiKSWwJ47Q2cRFVGr82jiCkvfJPCq_rZAqN/s400/IMG-20200424-WA0003.jpg" width="400" /></a><span style="color: #545454; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">Retailers who stay open to supply essential items to the public and businesses, need to provide measures to minimise the risk of spreading Covid-19 and avoid exposing themselves, their staff and their customers. This isn’t always easy and many are having to rely on masks, gloves and standard counter shields which don’t provide maximum protection when two metre distancing is not possible. Retailers often don’t have the required PPE to keep trading safely. Mark explained, “Shops and retailers are providing a valuable service to their community during the lock-down period and require maximum protection for themselves and their customers. I design and build bespoke timber frame structures from my workshop in Lincoln and knew that I could help.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">After consulting local retailers, Mark designed the ‘Covid-19 Shield’, which he builds to the size and specification of each retailer to achieve maximum protection. Mark describes how he adheres to the social distancing, “All design and construction is carried out while the retailer is closed to avoid any contact. It feels good when you see the confidence shop owners have knowing that they can trade safely.”</span><br />

<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">Local printer, Lincoln Print & Copy Centre were one of the first to take advantage of Mark’s counter shield system. “We are very happy with the shield and the ease of which it was put in place. The shield gives our customers the confidence to come in and speak with us” explained Karen, the Director at Lincoln Print & Copy Centre.</span><br />

<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">Jason Green at UK Tool Station has reopened his shop after having a recently installed a shield. Jason said,”Mark has really helped us by installing the safety shield, which spans the entire checkout area. This provides maximum protection possible whilst adhering to the 2m safety distance. I what to say a big thank you to Mark for the fast turnaround and easy installation he provided.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">This gratitude is echoed with the growing number of convenience stores having Mark’s shields installed. Mr Karuna of ‘West End Food Store’ described his shield as: “A lifeline for my business during these difficult times, helping to protect me, my family, staff and my customers.” Mr Karuna continued, “We can all relax now without the worry of spreading the virus, it’s such a relief for us and our customers.”</span><br />
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">The counter shields are designed to sit on counter tops or from floor to ceiling with doors. A design type which will be required when offices and schools etc. begin to re-open. All shields and screens are built from timber and heavy duty PVC on site to the customers design requirements to provide maximum protection.</span><br />
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">The design avoids any holes or damage left in counters and start at just £120. The shields are priced low to keep them affordable for as many local businesses as possible in Lincoln and the surrounding area.</span><br />
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #545454; font-family: "tahoma" , sans-serif;">If you would like a counter shield for your business call Mark on 07860 250 212 or visit AlfrescoArch.com.</span></div>

Outdoor learning for schools in the UK is one of our passions. It is our hope that one day, every school can offer children outdoor learning classrooms and equipment to enhance learning and inspire young minds. We believe that children need enticing back outside away from the screens to take time to simply play.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<br />
<div>
We now have the pleasure of working with the 'Landscapes for Learning' who share our passion. Founded and run by Gwenllian and her husband Craig Hill in Cardiff, Landscapes for Learning design and make outdoor learning equipment for schools in the UK. Gwenllian and Craig are both passionate about providing quality, innovative equipment to inspire and stimulate outdoor play for children. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Craig, a former teacher, saw the need for outdoor learning provision in UK schools. He left his teaching career, trained in joinery and started Landscapes for Learning alongside Gwenllian. Craig explains, "I ended up building a mud kitchen for a friend who told me that her school was looking to develop the outdoor space. I did a bit of research online and started building a variety of mud kitchens which help develop fine and gross motor skills and numeracy while children play."</div>

Woodland owners in the UK can bask in the shelter of their woodlands during the milder months, but when it comes to the winter, trees won't provide adequate protection. If woodland owners spend hours in their woodlands all year long, they need a woodland shelter which is a bit more watertight and cosy, to truly make the most of their woodland, all year round, whatever the weather.<br />
<br />
But how do you add a practical shelter without hindering the natural beauty of UK woodlands? There are many ways you can build your own woodland shelter, depending on how handy you are and the resources you have to hand. But if you don't have the time or inclination to build your own woodland shelter, having a shelter <br />

<a href="http://www.alfrescoarch.com/bird-hide/">Alfresco Arch</a> based in Lincoln design and build arc shaped, timber shelters, which blend beautifully into woodland settings. Suppliers of rural organisations such as the National Trust, Wildlife Trust and Countryside Alliance, Alfresco Arch provide a practical yet elegant shelter for UK woodland owners to enjoy.<br />

Each has a timber end containing small viewing windows, which open and close. Each window can be placed at the desired height to accommodate disabled access and children. Many hours can be spent watching the surrounding wildlife, hidden away, with a window to the natural world. Woodland owners can even camp out in their bird hide, store tools and just use the arc to relax, in their hideaway, looking out to the trees, framed by the elegant arches. But don't be fooled by the beauty of these arcs; beneath the smooth curves and natural <br />
timber, lies a strong metal skeleton. The aluminium core within the patented pre-tensile arches provides robust protection from the UK's weather, and let's face it, the UK climate is becoming increasingly temperate and unpredictable! Alfresco Arch feel so confident in the strength of their arcs, they provide a standard 10 year warranty with each bird hide.<br />
<br />
Bird Hide arcs start at £2,556, which includes build on site. Each one is delivered and hand built, requiring very little surface preparation. Mark Panton, Design Director for Alfresco Arch said, "Most woodland owners sit their arcs straight on the woodland floor, or just lay a bit of bark chip down. The floor doesn't have to be perfectly flat either, which means that you can avoid disturbing the landscape."<br />

Alverstoke C of E school in Hampshire, recognised the importance of providing an outdoor space for the children to connect with nature. They set about designing a peaceful garden, with our Bird Hide as a key focal point and feature of the outdoor space. <br />
<br />
Graham Cutter, Head Teacher at Alverstoke said "We chose the arc as a central feature to our new spirituality garden, designed by the school's young governors together with a landscape architect from Hampshire County Council. We wanted a sheltered space where children could sit peacefully and reflect. The arc's windows look out on our woodland area and also represent one of the four elements of spirituality - 'window moments'"<br />
<br />
The 3m long Bird Hide was supplied flat packed for self build, offering an affordable yet elegant solution for the school. Mark Panton, our Design Director, delivered the arc in person as he often does. Mark said, "I enjoy meeting customers face to face and never leave the site until they are comfortable with the build instructions. I often stay for the first hour of building to help get them started."<br />
<br />
The bird hide was erected in March 2018, and since then, the children have enjoyed their new outdoor learning space. Graham continues, "The Bird Hide provides opportunities for the children to look out on the world to gaze and wonder: The 'Wow' and 'Ows' moments. The things we find amazing and bring us up short. The children enjoy spending a quiet moment or two in the arc, reflecting calmly. They also enjoy spending time in there with friends, sharing a book or eating lunch together. "<br />

The 'Multi Use Gaming Area'. An area dedicated to allowing the local community to socialise, play and have fun. <br />
<br />
Brockenhurst Village Trust in the New Forest, worked hard to build a MUGA for their community to enjoy. After the ground works, fencing and leisure equipment, they decided they needed a shelter on hand for adverse weather and shade.<br />

<br />
"Living in the New Forest we wanted something that would fit in with the local surroundings for our shelter. The MUGA and Scout Hut which is within the grounds where the shelter is sited are both wooden clad and wooden bound. We luckily found Alfesco Arc who supplied us with a wooden arc strong enough to house cattle, but beautiful enough to complement our MUGA. The Picnic Arc fits in perfectly with our requirements and is very much admired. The assembly was simple and straight forward."<br />
<br />
Lynsey continues; "Our community couldn’t be happier with its Picnic Arc! They sit under the arc on the picnic table to chat, have a drink, picnic or just take time out away from the elements." <br />
<br />
"The village preschool use the shelter daily when they go to the MUGA for their morning exercise. They love the way they can see out of both sides but that they can be protected too. “It’s a bit like being in a cave but with two ways in!” <br />
<br />
"The customer service from Alfresco Arch has been great and the installation was efficient, on time and professional. We’re very happy with our product. "<br />

The days of being sat in a stuffy classroom all day are long behind us. Today schools are obligated to include a minimum amount of outdoor play and learning outdoors. This has seen the emergence in unique outdoor learning areas.<br />
<br />
The classroom arc provides a beautiful, unique outdoor classroom for UK schools. Insulated for all year round use, schools and other organisations such as the National trust, have welcomed these innovative outdoors classrooms.<br />
<br />
One of our first customers to buy our outdoor classroom was Renfrew High School in Scotland. They needed an outdoor classroom for their eco garden. On a tight budget, the school opted for a classroom arc without insulation and with canvas ends.<br />
<br />
The children enjoyed building their own outdoor classroom, benefiting from hands on experience in woodwork and construction. They also felt a strong ownership of their outdoor learning space after they had worked as a team to build it themselves.<br />
<br />
Once the classroom arc was ready for use, the children began to really enjoy the benefits of outdoor learning. Here are some of their comments:<br />
<br />

Do you want a beautiful structure built on uneven ground?<br />Are you building on flood risk land?</h3>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjfZm4JHGul4chMTaB8CaVf-W47S9AIJMAKkx4wJWN7xUvbU0IlWpRPy5-K6keOHOaXR8axG7BUffi1OOlNjosRYZ5Pnys2Is1xh_Xe9_PbHi9ak0SWg8HuIf1OvjwRGJ4pyCtZ-IAZxUh/s1600/IMG-20180421-WA0000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjfZm4JHGul4chMTaB8CaVf-W47S9AIJMAKkx4wJWN7xUvbU0IlWpRPy5-K6keOHOaXR8axG7BUffi1OOlNjosRYZ5Pnys2Is1xh_Xe9_PbHi9ak0SWg8HuIf1OvjwRGJ4pyCtZ-IAZxUh/s320/IMG-20180421-WA0000.jpg" width="240" /></a>These wooden arcs stand proudly on a raised platform, making uneven land a forgotten concern. The platform can be up to 8ft high, which is also handy for those in flood risk areas. The strong, galvanised steel struts support the arc and straddle uneven, sloping surfaces, making levelling and digging out a thing of the past. This saves planning obstacles, disturbance of protected sites and a great deal of money otherwise spend on groundwork. Those sites at risk from flooding can make the most of the 8ft clearance from ground level, which can make all the difference in our ever threatening climate. These arcs are ideal for garden office space, glamping accommodation, tree houses, play houses and garden studios.<br />

It's that time of year when the garden tools go away for the winter, but some tools need their own secure space. The Sandemans wanted an attractive storage space for their ride on mower, which didn't require planning permission. They turned to our arcs and we created them their very own storage arc for their mower.<br />

Watch the world go by</h3>
The lucky children at <a href="http://www.redhendaynursery.co.uk/">Red Hen Nursery</a>, Lincolnshire enjoy a range of outdoor activities to stimulate the senses and encourage learning. The latest addition to this award winning nursery is the Alfresco Arch Bird Hide. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Bird Hide sits proudly on the grounds at Red Hen Nursery, providing a sheltered hideaway for the children to watch the variety of birds and wildlife. Lucy Cooper, Deputy Manager at Red Hen said; “The Bird Hide has become a favourite place for our children at Red Hen. A place to watch the world go by, to sit and have a picnic or sing and tell stories with our friends”.<br />

The Red Hen children aren't the only ones benefiting from our Bird Hides; <a href="http://www.woodton.norfolk.sch.uk/">Woodton Primary School</a> in Norfolk are the proud owners of 'Hush Hides' for the children to enjoy at two of their school sites.<br />
<br />
These Arc shaped Bird Hides cost £2,130 inc. vat and do not require planning permission as they are so mobile. The hides arrive flat packed for self assembly. Group builds can be arranged and are encouraged, as the children find it stimulating and fun to work together, building their own bird hide. <a href="http://www.alfrescoarch.com/bird-hide/">Click here to find out more.</a><br />

The problem with wide vehicles is that once you have backed the vehicle into the Arc, how do you get out? Mark got around this problem by building an 'Arc Wing' on the side. This allows the driver to exit the vehicle arc at the back. Simple, effective, beautiful.<br />

"WOW!!!!!<br />
I just wanted to drop you a line to say how FABULOUS I think the Arc is! It is truly beyond my expectations! I think it looks perfect and Mark has done a smashing job. Please convey my thanks and appreciation to him. I can sleep soundly now that the tractor is cosy in her Arc - and just in time too, what with all this wintry weather!"<br />

The Aid Arc provides a strong, rigid shelter, to keep families warm, dry and safe in the most inhospitable environments. Quick and easy to build, the Aid Arc empowers people to build their own shelter and progressively transform it into their long term home.</h3>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div align="LEFT" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">The Aid Arc is the latest
innovation by UK company, Alfresco Arch. Their established range of
arc shaped structures include animal shelters, vehicle arcs and
classroom arcs dotted throughout the UK and beyond. Mark Panton,
Design Director at Alfresco Arch said, “It was a natural
progression for us to develop a structure for the aid sector. Our
structures are strong, mobile and easy to build and we knew we could
help those who needed shelter.”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbdYwpyurZOZKgn-41-dnuC1LKbLfNMtLh96TaBNeZEbAHyGWiVs6Zt22SvNPVUsBluc7BC1Drgjrt1fhyphenhyphenTIMUjZJ5E_sAVGw-QJmcovvVEWvmXJBbP4AHpb39lze74CKvVrKVB1T1QBEp/s1600/Image_1_BrandedPic.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbdYwpyurZOZKgn-41-dnuC1LKbLfNMtLh96TaBNeZEbAHyGWiVs6Zt22SvNPVUsBluc7BC1Drgjrt1fhyphenhyphenTIMUjZJ5E_sAVGw-QJmcovvVEWvmXJBbP4AHpb39lze74CKvVrKVB1T1QBEp/s320/Image_1_BrandedPic.png" style="float: left; margin: 10px;" width="278" /></a></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">The company's patented tensile
arches provide a strong frame for the structure. The arc shape itself
allows rain and snow to run off rather than build up. The wind rolls
over the Arc rather than hitting it flat on and the structure has
extreme seismic resilience. </span>
</div>
<div align="LEFT" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div align="LEFT" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">The Aid Arc is designed to be a
multi-purpose, transformational structure. Families can take pride in
building their own Aid Arc using locally sourced materials and then
over time, easily improve their Arc. Mark Panton said, “I look
forward to training aid workers face to face so that they in turn can
train communities to build their own Arcs. Most materials can be
sourced locally while the other vital components will be quickly
transported to sites.” The Aid Arc takes 30 man hours to build and,
it's 100% waterproof membrane, means that it can sit on varied
terrain

</div>
<br />
The National Trust, New Forest site have now completed the installation of their first Classroom Arc.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Arc provides the only permanent shelter in an otherwise exposed heathland site. It will be used for class room study, be decorated with Foxbury interpretation (wildlife, management work etc.) shelter during wet/windy weather for our events programme and a place for our volunteers/staff to have a break in the winter months.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<h4>
Why an Arc?</h4>
The team chose the Classroom Arc because of its rustic and attractive appearance, which complemented the <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
surrounding woodland it sits in at the Foxbury site. Jacob White, Community Range for the National Trust said: “We chose the Arc for three main reasons: Firstly, the aesthetics of the building fit perfectly into the <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicn3us4MRiMUhGKbu-0V9KVKkSxAxjEtOftzCwmmMwpd4Dmm4qlIqb-E79zsXArpd9qPtyBGskdoIi4GRJ0BSme25u0gi_2bIGcif4tkLHuvhBF8k_Je6LXMbQfGhVOoF5o8-MfuvzrGfL/s1600/image%255B22%255D.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicn3us4MRiMUhGKbu-0V9KVKkSxAxjEtOftzCwmmMwpd4Dmm4qlIqb-E79zsXArpd9qPtyBGskdoIi4GRJ0BSme25u0gi_2bIGcif4tkLHuvhBF8k_Je6LXMbQfGhVOoF5o8-MfuvzrGfL/s320/image%255B22%255D.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div>
surrounding woodland, with wooden facing and a natural looking shape to the building – the Arc also mimics the shape of the dens children can build nearby. Secondly, the bespoke nature of the build means that the Arc could be made to meet our requirements easily, including electrics, lighting, branded window covers and secure walls. Lastly, we chose the Arc due to the fact that the National Trust, and other conservation charities, have used Alfresco Arch on numerous occasions with great success, so we knew we were in safe hands!"<br />

The spec.</h4>

The Classroom Arc measures 6m long x 3.3m wide x 3m high from ground level. 20mm thick pine cladding provides beauty and strength, while the aerated foil insulation helps to provide a cosy environment in the arc. Ten curved roof windows flood the arc with natural light providing an ideal learning environment and workspace. The National Trust leaf emblem is featured on every insulated window blind, which can be branded as required.<br />
<br />
Inside the arc there sits ten wooden benches, providing ample seating space. For the winter months the arc comes equipped with efficient LED light strips which easily run off a solar panel or car battery. A panel heater can also be run via a generator or hook up to the mains.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<h4>
The verdict</h4>
Jacob continues: “ Now the Arc is up, myself, my team and our conservation volunteers could not be happier with the finished result, it will get its first use in June when a school group visit Foxbury to undertake some fieldwork. Thank you to Mark and his team for a great product!”<br />

It has the same look and functionality of the Touring Arc but without the chassis. But don't concern yourself with planning permission headaches, it should be a breeze due to the fact that this model can be disassembled and stored quickly and easily at the end of the season. With a maximum weight of 100 kilos per component, it is an easy, two man job at the end of the season. <br />
<b>1 -</b> Remove the cladding<br />
<b>2 - </b>Detach living area (shell) and carry away<br />
<b>3 -</b> The deck is in two halves so can be carried away.<br />
If you want to leave it up all winter, then that's not a problem. The Arc is insulated and wind resistant, with its attractive Arc allowing the wind to roll over it rather than hit it. <br />

Low Investment- Easy Return</h4>
So we all know that to make money you need to spend it. But it is nice when you can keep this to a minimum to lower the risk. This is why the Easy Move is priced at <b>just £3,700 </b>+vat including build on your site. You can easily charge around £60 per night, which means that if you get the word out about your glamping accommodation <b>you should break even after your first season. </b><br />
