Qbgrey 3,968 Posted September 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 The way i see it,having a rented house you may get 900,1000 a month,for a 300,000 grand investment,take out all the agro,maintenance,agents fees,your not really much better off.(been thier before).so if i build 8 pods,even i spent 100,000 which is over doing it.they fetch 750 for 7 days.i know its not all yr but it seems a better return for your money 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tyla 3,179 Posted September 7, 2020 Report Share Posted September 7, 2020 I've built and run a glamping site from scratch. Building it is one thing, getting it signed off and up to spec for use by the public is a whole different matter. Running costs are huge and so is competition. If you are genuinely interested drop me a PM 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You just screwed that straight onto the sheeted osb below ? I'm doing one just now and have run 3x2 on top of the sheeting to make a gap if that makes sense? Its tongue n Grove on top i used that breathable felt then run some 4x2 around the edge just sat about 5mm proud of the roof to make a small air gap not sure if that's the right way tho ha 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
