Approx dimensions are 7 m x 3.5 m (note the room is huge and does not fit the picture frame - it is much bigger!). It is in overall good condition but there is a couple of areas where it has been accidentally cut by a craft knife - however it is such a big room that there is still plenty in good condition to fit a smaller room or make a selection of rugs from. Carpet is in Tawa and viewing welcome. We plan to uplift end of June so get in quick. Viewing welcome. Price neg.

Price: $399

Tree House roof - ideas and materials needed

I put up a tarpaulin last weekend and it's already ripped. I was thinking maybe some corrugated iron or plastic or something. The old rotten tree house I tore down had some flat laminated wooden sheets but they had bowed and weren't very effective.

Does anyone have any ideas?
