Invite-only community inventory & lending

Borrow boldly. Buy lightly. High-five your neighbours.

Community Shed is your invite-only nook for streets, families, and clubs: a living inventory neighbours can browse safely, borrow tracking with clear status and reminders, a visibility layer for who has what (and what is due back soon), and requests in a few taps—no public listings, no strangers, just people you already trust. Real handoffs, zero shipping drama.

You will need a warm invite from someone already inside your shed.

Real neighbourhoods

The kind of sharing Community Shed is built for.

Doorstep handoffs, street gatherings, and tools in motion—no couriers, just people you know.

The friendly flow

Three little beats from invite to high-five.

Sheds stay intentionally simple so owners feel cosy about their stuff and borrowers always know the next kind step.

01
Step into the shed
Grab an invite from someone who already belongs, say hi to your email verification link, and you are in.
02
Share or scout the shelf
List the treasures gathering dust, or wander the shelf to see what neighbours are lending.
03
Pass it hand to hand
Sort pickup and return in the borrow chat, then tick the milestones when items travel home again.

Heart of the shed

Sharing should feel like potluck, not profit.

Hyperlocal hugs
Everything happens face-to-face—no couriers, no mystery boxes, just real neighbours.
Trust you can feel
Invite-only crews mean you always know whose hands your favourite drill is in.
No shop vibes
No swapping cash—just kindness, IOUs, and the odd batch of cookies if you feel fancy.
Keeps it breezy
Smart defaults, clear ownership, and friendly nudges so lending never feels like admin.

Who it's for

Built for the small groups that already look out for each other.

Streets, extended families, parent groups, hobby clubs — anyone who would happily lend a thing to a friend if they only knew who needed it.

Each shed is its own private world. Items, members and conversations never leak between communities.
