Conventional vs fabric indoor schools

I have a silica sand one with sprinkles, it is a lot of maintenance with harrowing, putting sprinklers on and also keeping any dust out of sprinklers, if I could afford to change it too fabric I would and getting up to the sprinklers is an absolute nightmare.
 
Coveralls are very common over here. Lots of yards have them. I looked at them for about 5 minutes and thought that there is no way on earth I would put such an ugly big bubble on my beautiful farm ... not unless it was well hidden away over the other side of the farm where no-one could see it.

Okay, so that's the aesthetics over with, practicalities is that they are light and airy, less money spending on lights during the summer months as are very bright during daylight hours.

They are warmer than traditional steel buildings which is good in the winter. In the summer you can keep them cool if you have them build with vents or roll up screens (not sure if you can get these in England though), or exits on both ends which allows free air flow.

Down sides; they are noisy when it rains, more so than steel buildings. They blow about in the wind, no matter how tightly they have been constructed. Do not place them in an area which is susceptible to gale force winds as they can, and very often do!, literally blow away! I've known 5 people who have lost their Coveralls in this way.

Cost wise, over here there is a big difference in price, however over there, I hear there isn't, so if cost is not a problem, I'd say go for a traditional steel framed indoor.
 
Adding to Tia's post, I believe the other problem in the UK is getting planning permission for CoverAll type bulidings. If it's going to be within sight of any other property, a walking trail etc. you might find some serious objections.
