Rangiora Menz Shed
We are often asked what a Men’s Shed (hereafter simply referred to as a “shed”) is, and the answer can be long! But to put it in a rather large nutshell, a shed brings men together in one community space to share their skills, have a laugh, and work on practical tasks individually (personal projects) or as a group (for the shed or community).
The sort of projects we tackle are community projects or for the individual, examples of which include building items for pre-school centres, repairing toy library stock, building planter boxes, chicken coups, and our very popular mud kitchens and the list goes on.
One of our new creations is Coffins made from nz pine, expertly finished and unpainted and unstained. Decorate them as you see fit!
We are happy to take on new projects at the shed, all we ask in return is a donation for our time and payment for materials.
I would like to ask you all to pop to our new Face Book Page. See for yourselves what we do. Please Like and Follow our page to keep updated on what we are up to in our lovely community.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?
The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.
Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
-
9.2% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.7% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦
Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.
Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.
So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)
-
32.2% Yes!
-
67.8% No thank you.
