Friends hut constructed

The hut… sized for small people. We hope it will inspire play and connections.

After many months of planning… the new hut is functional but not yet decorated. Another group of volunteers will lead on that. It sits between the trees by the larch bench with a view of the garden. And sound of the birds above.

Julian (and Becca) spending their ‘Easter holiday’ constructing…

Pallet wood chic… The little window might have shutters. The front opening could be a shop, ice cream kiosk…. puppet theatre?

We were keen to reuse and recycle as much as we could.

The back and far side use the cladding from the front of the old club hut.

We used left-over geotextile from the pond, clinker dug from the garden, slabs from the veranda, decking boards from our garden shed and one stick of carcassing from skip diving.

The rest of the materials were funded by the Friends of Nightingale Garden. Thank you!
