[Talk-GB] Poly Tunnels vs Greenhouses

[Philip Barnes]

No problem with boats and greenhouses that don't move. 

But these are probably seasonal and certainly shouldn't be mapped from aerial imagery alone as they may have long gone. They certainly need a recent survey.

It reminds me of the time an armchair mapper carefully traced a Maize Maze that had existed for a short time in a field near me a couple of years earlier.

I've always hesitated from tagging them at all as they are not to me really buildings: they are more temporarily constructed,  using cheap materials akin to a transparent tent or marquee and certainly without permanent foundations.
