About Trident Wharepaku Tūmatanui

He wharepaku tūmatanui a Trident i hoahoatia hei whare tiriti paerewa, waeteru. He hanganga papa kotahi ia wae, e 40 ki te 70 mita pūrua te horahanga. Ka whakakākahutia te mata o mua ki te pakitara ārai kōtaha kua wheruatia, kua whakaotia ki te peita puhauhauora kikorangi. Ka whakawhiwhia e tētahi pūnaha hihi ā-rongo i runga i te tuanui te hiko mō te wharepaku, ā, ka taea hoki te tautoko i ngā kainoho tata. Ka noho mā, ka māmā te tiaki i te taha o roto nā ngā kōrere pūkorou, ngā kōpaka whakaheke wai, tētahi papa horoi kirikō waituhi tōpū me tētahi pūnaha whakamā hau.
