Built in 1962 by the NZFS as a standard B55 design, it had a corrugated iron roof, a single louvre window at the back end. The biv was re-piled & the bearers, joists, framing, & floor replaced by DOC in 2004. It was re-roofed by 2 volunteers in March, 2016, with the addition of an inner layer of chicken wire & roofing wrap to improve weatherproofing. In February, 2023, volunteers completed the renovation, replacing the louvre window with a double glazed one, replaced the lead ridge flashing with a non-toxic one, & replaced some rotten sections of the door frame. They installed tie-downs, & the exterior walls & window frames were painted. The biv has 1 mattress, which is a bit too big for either of the sleeping platforms. Edit Hut
