new community workshop
Humble beginnings in Cames Road
The Mangawhai Shed ran for the first four years out of someone else’s workshop. Membership growth was stifled by its location on the outskirts of town. Limited power supply, parking and room for machinery and equipment meant that a new home was sought.
Stage One complete
What Stage Two & Three will look like once we have secured further funding and support…talk to us about bringing that day forward
our new home
The Mangawhai Domain Society made available space at 75 Moir Street for a ‘future proof’ build programme which started in 2021
THE PLAN
Stage one: build a simple wooden kitset barn (80 square metres) which will maintain our focus on woodwork with much more space.
Stage two: build another similar barn structure(80sm) which will offer metal working capability.
Stage three: connect the two buildings with a canopy which will provide valuable outdoor working space.
