Caban hire
The Caban building at Llyn Parc Mawr is available for hire. Please see our booking form HERE for more information.
Our beautiful greenwood building is the hub of Llyn Parc Mawr Community Woodland Group’s activities and is regularly used for education, training and events.
Construction was completed in December 2019 and paid for by the players of the National Lottery, through their People and Places funding program.
The building was made using locally sourced wood, by local craftsmen Arfon Timber Co-operative, based near Caernarfon.
1. Corsican pine (Pinus nigra var. maritima) The benches are made from Corsican pine, which was harvested from Llyn Parc Mawr about 25 metres from where they are now secured as benches.
2. Japanese red cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) There is a small stand of Japanese Red Cedar growing 30 metres from the classroom site. Trees of poor form were felled and milled into the upright posts on the handrails. This timber is naturally resistant to decay and does not need chemical treatment/ preservative.
3. European Larch (Larix decidua)
The timber used in the structural frame is European larch grown near Machynlleth. Larch is strong timber that naturally resists decay.
The building was designed to be open sided to allow the community and general public to use this space but please ensure you-
- Treat this community resource with respect
- Leave no trace by taking your litter home
