Hard Standing , again

[RickH]

Hi all

 

I did ask this question some time ago , but circumstances changed and I didn't get a lot of responce so maybe different eyes will see the post this time .

I'm looking for hard standing for a nb for about a year whilst I work on it . There will have to be grit blasting available or at least possible on site . So far Aquaduct is the leading contender but their lifting seems a bit expensive £400 , but great location although it will take me a month to get there from the K&A . Debdale was another that was recommended , anywhere else come to mind ?

Thanks

Redhill marina on the soar should be a lot cheaper remember to surrender licence when out of water

Not sure how your quote for £400 for lift/return to the water came about? Do you have Aqueduct marina's up-to-date 2014 price list?

[RickH]

The quote of £400 was by phone , lifting off a truck onto hard standing .

There was another thread running recently about someone looking for hardstanding. IIRC Julynian stated he knew of 2 places at a reasonable cost. I would imagine they are near the K&A as that's where he is.

That was my thread a while ago , know about the one on k&a , looked into it , no crane on site so becomes a very expensive lift in and out .

Lot of guys at Debdale working on their boats, pretty long term.

There are 2 places nr Melksham. At the first there's no direct cranage direct from the canal to the hard standing though, you would need transport to the hard standing.

 

Site 2 it could be possible to crane direct from the canal to site.

Hi Rick

 

 

To the Right of Devizes steel. There's some farmers land adjacent to the canal, we moored there on our WMP and parked our vehicle on his land for a small fee. It could be possible to crane a boat on to his land where we were moored. He was interested in letting out space for hard standing, he has a plastic boat there already.

Same problem though , paying for a crane in and out gets expensive .

Yeah but places that can do that are generally more expensive, not so much for crane use but weekly rental. At Broadlane farm it's £100 per month. The farmer at the closer to canal land would probably be happy to rent much cheaper. So equating what you pay in cheap rental might out weigh that of cranage & haulage. It worked out very reasonable for us, but we were there a rather long time LOL

Probably true Julian , then again I'm definately not going to be there 6 years ! Or is that famous last words ?

I know LOL it could happen trust me LOL

 

I'll give you the farmers details if you want, I've mislaid his phone number but I'm still in the area, he's not always at the site though so might take me a couple of days.

 

You can check out the site yourself though it's always open, just turn Right before going through Devizes Steel's gate.
