Little Big Shed

A LITTLE sharing makes a BIG difference – for us, our community and the planet. That’s why we created Little Big Shed. It’s a peer-to-peer sharing platform to help you borrow more, buy less, and earn some extra cash when you lend your stuff.

Lend an item:
Did you know that 80% of household items we own are used less than once a month? Why not lend your stuff to neighbours when not in use, and make some extra cash on the side? Our easy step-by-step process will have you sharing items in no time. Plus, when you share on our platform, we take no service fee – which means more money in your back pocket! And you can rest easy knowing that we have your listed items covered against damage during the lending period if something goes wrong – up to NZ$2000 of cover per item.

Borrow an item:
If you’re starting a DIY project, want to experiment with a new craft, or borrow hobby equipment to give a new activity a go, you've come to the right place. There’s no need to splash out on a brand new item you barely use or don’t have the space to store – it’s time to start borrowing! Our sharing platform makes it easy to search and book stuff to rent from locals nearby.

App features:
- Identity and payment method verification enabled
- Full user control over item lending availability
- Explore listings via keyword, category, location, cost, and rating
- Chat function for communication between lender and borrower
- Rental bookings automatically added to trades dashboard
- 5-star rating system and reviews enabled
- Automated payment transactions on completion of booking
- Favoriting system to easily find the products you want to borrow
- Simple transitions to become a lender

We believe that no one should be restricted from doing a DIY project, cultivating their talents or going on an adventure due to a lack of resources. Through the power of sharing tools, hobby gear, leisure equipment and much more, we can support each other and make a collective effort to reduce waste.
