About The Grand Paepae Tī

Ko te Grand he paepae tī i hoahoatia mō te whakapaipai tī tuku iho a Haina. Ka hangaia te tinana matua ki te kōhatu pango, me te whakauru kōhatu whakahirahira e whakatakotoria ana i runga i te wehenga koura. Ka hangaia te mata o te paepae hei āhua ahupūngao arawhata, me te reretahi i waenga i ngā taumata teitei me ngā taumata iti. Ka rere te wai mai i te wāhi teitei, te wāhi e tū ai te pōti tī, ki te wāhi iti, te wāhi e whakatakotoria ai ngā kapu, ā, ka puta atu ai mā roto i tētahi putanga huna. Ka hangaia te kōhatu mā te mahi CNC me ētahi atu mahi-a-ringa, ā, ka whakaperetia te mata.
