What Colour can I have?

There are nearly 40 colours to choose from and there is a graphic below of the range of colours Kiwipodz can be erected with.

Delivery and build?

Kiwipodz are flat packed and delivered anywhere a truck can reach in New Zealand ready to erect on site by a competent DIY person or builder.  The components can also be shipped separately, even by helicopter to get to hard to reach places!  They take a day to erect and a second day to fit out internal lining and accessories.  You need two to three people to help with erecting the apex of the structure and you will need a ladder that can reach a height of 3.2 metres.

Compliance?

Kiwipodz are a temporary structure that can be moved, and for classification purposes would be the similar to erecting a tent.  Although they are a much more permanent structure and can last for many years. They can be deconstructed and moved if required. We would advise you to check your local council bylaws as they vary across the country.
