Rodway Shelter Hut

The hut was previously painted in 2013 but it was quite surprising how it had deteriorated in the time. It was given a fresh coat in July 2017 but some of the timber has reached it's used by date .

The end wall facing northwest was left simply because it is in such poor condition that replacement is thought to be the only solution. How and when this should be done is a matter to be discussed with Mount Field staff. It is a substantial task especially given the difficult slope that end is located on and the fact that bearer and parts of the frame also need replacing. There are various construction options, including a pure replacement with timber, use of colourbond instead and a more open design allowing a view over the Tarn shelf.
