Men aren t always willing to open their shed doors to just anyone.
But a select few blokes have agreed to welcome visitors to their man caves for a good cause.
Life Education Trust Waikato East chairman Keith Trembarth has prevailed on close friends with great sheds to be part of a charity shed tour throughout Hauraki to raise funds for Life Education Trust Waikato East.
Some have never been open to the public, Keith says.

Men s shed gets a boost
There s a new shed in Kapiro Rd, Kerikeri. Not just any old shed but a Men s Shed, a place where men get together to share their skills, make things, repair things.
The organisation that runs the Kerikeri Men s Shed applied for financial support from the 2019-20 Infrastructure Grand Fund and was successful, with the result that the Kapiro Rd premises has been fitted with a large woodwork area, a separate engineering workshop and a communal area with a kitchen.

An eviction notice has been served to the residents of a central Auckland community hub - but the founder is refusing to leave, saying she s prepared to be arrested if it comes to that.
Police were today called to the heritage villa on Grafton Rd that houses Hum, a community centre, café and home to at least 10 people, to serve the order. It comes after founder Rosie Armitage refused to leave following a High Court order for possession of the house to be given to the landlord.
