The hut is starting to fall apart.
It looks like it was built to some esoteric personal ideal of "Fitting in" to the environment but the execution of the build means that it needs to be demolished and rebuilt soon.
there seems to be some sort of religious reason for using unsuitable materials amongst the parks people, just looking at the mess they made of the Fed Vic hut on Feathertop.
So my question is When the hut is rebuilt should we be making a concerted effort to see if we can persuade the Parks people to build the hut properly? that is with galvanised walls to withstand the weather and sarking and insulation to make the hut weather resistant and usable in all weathers??

But IF it was to be kept ( and Parks says it definitely is ) should it be better built?
I am well aware of the conflicting views on mountain huts and it should be known that I hold a view to the other end of the spectrum
