I would like to buy an old Nissen hut to dismantle and re-erect as a storage building. Anyone know where I can get one? I'd prefer the fibre concrete sheets rather than steel. I live in Kent but would of course be prepared to travel, dismantle, collect etc. Any ideas?Those of you interested in Nissens will enjoy a quick trip to Nissens.co.uk

Nissen and Quonset Huts.
ReplyDeleteI am starting on the renovation of a Nissen and a Quonst hut.
I need some plans to compare mine with so I keep the building in line with thier original specificatio. Bothare in remarkable condition, the Nissen Hut is going to make an excellent cinema and the Quonset I am spec'ing for my father in law as a country retreat.
Any advice help will be gratefully received. At the end of the project I will be having a party ofr all helpers, we are in Lincolnshire, close to Sturgate Airfield.

GT Evans in Wales will supply (& erect, @ extra cost!) the modern version of these wonderful WW I inventions. They do have a website & can advise on various aspects, prior to delivery of such. Such as concrete foundation pouring, et cetera.
