Oregon timber from the Red Shed at Whanganui's port has been turned into a new fence around the tram shed storage area on Taupo Quay.
"It's been nice to have had the opportunity to give this historically significant timber a new lease on life where we can all appreciate it,"
Town Centre Regeneration project manager Ellen Young said.
The fence also contains vintage glass insulators from power lines as decorative elements.
"The insulators are a beautiful colour and will look particularly attractive next to the river.
"They are a fitting inclusion at the tram shed site, given the tram is electrically powered, and they also reference Whanganui's wonderfully thriving glass arts scene."
