Due to Covid and being requested to remain open during the national lockdowns to care for vulnerable children and frontline workers, we had to use a yurt (a temporary structure requiring no foundation work etc) as a 'bubble' base and then we moved a smaller yurt to allow for a garden shed to be placed on the existing decking."
