It depends to a great extent on where in France?....A place in Brittany is obviously going to need more planning than a place on the Cote d'Azur...

I used to keep a company machine at my home, but got sick of cleaning the snow off on my own everyday, so we had a 'hangar raising'party/BBQ in the Summer, and threw up a transportable shed...

Then I got sick of pushing it(H500) in and out on my own all the time. So I got two lengths of channel and set them in concrete with a small outfacing slope. I welded up a wheeled landing dolly/pad and the thing would roll out on it's own with just a little one handed pushing, and then I hooked up a small 4x4 electric winch (12 volt) to pull it back in...If anything went wrong with the motor, you could always push it out and fly, then look for a helper to push it back in...Never happened though. The 4X4 winches are great...

Bowser....Great in priciple, but check out the legal bit!

Good luck with it...170'
