He waea, he puranga kōhatu
Hangaia he whare kōhatu
Te tākaro i ngā tūranga rerekē
Whare kōhatupakitara whenua, whakairo whare herehere kohatu
Ngā paepae whare kōhatu, ngā roto rākau whare kōhatu
Ngā kaupae whare herehere kohatu, te tirohanga iti o te whare herehere kohatu
Ā, pērā tonu

Ngā whare kōhatuhe kēke whakarewa, he pouaka rānei kua whakakiia ki ngā kōhatu, ki ētahi atu rauemi oneone whānui rānei, ā, he maha ngā wā ka whakamahia hei taiepa pupuri, hei pakitara waho rānei. Ko te nuinga o ngā kēke he rino kore waikura, he pereti waea rino kua pania ki te konukōre, he pereti waea rino pania paura rānei, kātahi ka honoa ki tētahi kāpia porowhita, ki tētahi mowhiti here rānei hei hanga i tētahi āhua tapawhā rite.

Ngā Painga:
1. Ngāwari te tāuta: kāore e hiahiatia he turanga whenua.
2. Te Roa o te Ora: Ko te mea nui mō te roa o te ora ko te tere o te urunga o ngā kēti kōhatu. Ka taea e te wai ua te rere mā roto i ngā āputa i waenganui i ngā kōhatu, ka whakakore i te pēhanga waipū kua kohia, ka whakaiti hoki i ngā huringa, i ngā hapa rānei. I taua wā anō, ko te kaha o te rauemi ātete-waikura i roto i te wā ka noho pūmau te turanga pakitara kēti kōhatu.
3. Ngā āhuatanga taiao me te pumau: Mena ka whakamahia he raima hangarua, he toka rānei i te papaanga, ka tino whakaitihia te utu.
4. Ngā āhuatanga ataahua: Ka taea te whakarite i ngā whare kōhatu ki te taiao.

ngoikoretanga:
1. Papatipu: He nui te wāhi e nohoia ana e ngā pakitara kōhatu o te whare herehere, ngā kohua putiputi, me ētahi atu, ā, kāore pea e pai mō tētahi māra iti.
2. Nohoanga o ngā Kararehe Mohoao: Ka taea e ngā kararehe ririki te tipu i te āputa i waenganui i ngā toka, ā, i ētahi wāhi ka pā pea.
3. Tuhipoka motuhake: I te wā e whiriwhiri ana i tētahi whakakī mō te pakitara pupuri o te whare kōhatu, he mea nui kia whakarite kei roto te rauemi i tētahi whare kōhatu he nui te rahi (neke atu i te 3 inihi te whānui).
4. Tiaki: Kāore rawa he tiaki.

utu:
E kiia ana he iti te utu o ngā whare kōhatu hei whakapaipai i te whenua. He iti te utu mēnā ka whakamahia he rauemi raima hangarua.

Anei tētahi whakataki poto ki te tikanga hanga o te pakitara whare kōhatu.

I mua i te hanga o te taiepa,
Tuatahi, me whakarite e tātou tētahi wāhanga nui o te pakitara o te whare herehere kōhatu – te whare herehere.
I te nuinga o te wā ka whakamahia e mātou ngā whare herehere kua whakakikoruatia ki te wai,
Ka whai wāhi pea tēnei ki te aukati i te waikura.

Ko te taahiraa tuatahi ko te whakataurite i te whenua.
Me keri te whenua kia whakapaea ki te hoe.
me te whakakoi i te turanga,
Mena he oneone ngohengohe,
Me hanga he urunga kirikiri matotoru 150 mm,
hei aukati i te taunga o te taiepa whakapaipai.

Ko te taahiraa tuarua ko te aukati i ngā taru kino.
He mea tika kia whakatūria he papa ārai ki ngā taha e rua o te turanga,
He mea hanga mai i ngā pereti maitai kōpikopiko me ngā papa rakau,
Kia kore ai ngā taru e tupu hei whare kōhatu,
Ka taea hoki e ia te whai wāhi ki te mimiti i te wai.

Ko te taahiraa tuatoru ko te kohikohi i te whare herehere kohatu.
Ehara i te mea uaua te hanga i tētahi whare waea,
He maha ngā taha o te waea koi, he rite ki te mata whatu,
Ka taea te miro tahi mā te waea porowhita te āhua.

Tuawhā, whakauruhia te wāhanga.
Hei ārai i te whānui o te whare herehere ina kī ana i ngā kōhatu,
I whakauruhia e mātou he taura here ki waenganui o te whare herehere, ā, i whakatikatikahia.

Ko te taahiraa tuarima ko te uta i ngā kōhatu.
He roa te wā e utaina ai ngā kōhatu.
Ka taea e tātou te aro ki te ōritetanga o te tae o te kōhatu i te wā e utaina ana,
Whakatakotoria ngā kōhatu ataahua ki waho,
Mā tēnei ka nui ake te ataahua o ā mātou pakitara kōhatu.
Ko ngā kokonga ngā mea tino uaua, ā, ka taea e tātou te whakatakoto i ngā kōhatu ki ngā koki tika tūturu,
Ka tino pai rātou mō tēnei koki.

āe, e rima ngā mahi ngāwari,
Ka taea e koe te hanga i tētahi taiepa pupuri whare herehere kohatu ataahua,
Kāore e hiahiatia he hangarau pakitara pai mō tēnei momo pakitara,
Ahakoa rā, mā te āwhina o te whare herehere…
He tino huatau hoki te hua kua oti,
He mea whakamere ake i te taiepa kohatu noa.

I ēnei rā, he maha ake ngā kaihoahoa e whakamahi ana i ngā whare kōhatu i roto i ngā māra whenua, kua waiho hei tikanga toi mā ngā kaihoahoa whenua.

Ko te papa kōhatu he mea whakatakoto ki te wāhi papaku o te whenua, ā, i te raro o te papa he paipa waikeri, ka taea te whakauru pai ki te wai ua, me te whakarite i te waikeri, kia kore ai e kohia te wai i ngā wāhi papaku. I taua wā anō, ka taea hoki e te whakakī i roto i te papa kōhatu te tātari noa i te wai ua, me te whakaiti i te tere o te rere o te wai i te wā ua nui, he mea whai hua ki te taiao.

I roto i te whare kōhatu, kua roa nei kāore i te herea ki te uta kōhatu anake, ā, ka whakanohoia te karāhe ki roto i te whare kōhatu, inā koa i te pō me ngā rama, he tino ataahua te āhua.

Gabion whakarewahe āhuatanga motuhake tēnei o ngā māra whakapaipai. Ka taea te whakamahi i roto i ngā momo āhua ohorere i roto i ngā māra, tae atu ki ngā pakitara me ngā kēti. Ka taea te whakamahi i te hanganga mata gebbin hei āhuatanga o te nuinga o ngā māra. He tino ahurei tēnei āhuatanga wai!

Ā, he maha atu anō ngā whakaahua whakamahinga e whai ake nei:
