Most sites set an age limit and the build quality reflects this. They are difficult to scrap. They are a mixture of steel, aluminium, fibreglass and plastic. Despite being 'mobile' they are expensive and inconvenient to move. They are poorly insulated. They only exist to exploit a loophole in the law.
