Iona Land Shelter

The roof has now been turfed and the membrane trimmed to shape... many thanks to all those who contributed to this stage of building, in particular Marcus Rowlands who gave so much and Nick Horigan, the Iona School for their patience and continued commitment when things went quiet for many months and the parents and children who lugged timber and gravel to make this possible.

Beautiful day up on the roof :-)

The permanent roof build project begins with the ply 'pizza slices' installed.

Some good feedback about the temporary roof- some wishing it could be permanent. So far it has stood up well to the high winds and heavy rain... Snow, though, would be it's nemesis.
Leaves resting on the roof look great from below, through the translucent plastic.

With the school term well underway and a week of activities on the land coming up for the kids, we decided to put at temporary roof on the structure. This should keep off light showers and withstand a moderate breeze- anything more and it could turn out to be very temporary indeed.

Parents Kalina and Tom, Alina and Tom, and Kula worked on the roof, with students Lucy, Marwa and Rhys.
