🌿 The Perfect Blend of Heritage & Modern Tech

​

Born out of necessity in 1922 to tackle the rugged Catlins weather for a family of 17, our original design was hand-built over a century ago and is still in use today.

​

We’ve taken that trusted, century-old concept and reimagined it for the modern home. Today, each ‘High & Dry’ rack is artfully designed, precision-engineered, and manufactured using cutting-edge CNC machinery right here in New Zealand.

​
