Tin Hut Shelter | Kahurangi National Park

Tin Hut Shelter is a hut because it has a roof and four walls, a new floor and door, and looks like a hut. It’s a shelter, though, because it has no bunks or mattresses.

No fireplace. No windows. No toilet.

No matter. There’s occasions when structures like these are very useful.

Others may just call it a shed.
