Put an advert on Freecycle. People are always chucking slabs away, often into expensive skips.

Re: Ground and Working space improvments...
Paul if you want I have about 1-2k of driveway bricks if you want more hard standing area 
For the temp structure just get 6 uprights of 4*4 post into fence support posts with stakes, then a loose structure around it using corrugated plastic. That way you let lots of light in, albeit the noise from the rain can get loud!
Then seal it roughly with expanding foam and some diagonal supports for strength.
Could be knocked up in a day or two really, maybe even use some old car bonnets welded together as the back of the unit

A dry structure is just what you need, Paul, it means you can produce every day. Make it large enough though.
