Etiquette and Rules

As with any of the unstaffed Maker Spaces, the outdoor area relies on those using it to maintain the cleanliness of the area.

The Wetworks Outdoor Area can be used for a range of fabrication methods - please check with the Guru on duty if you are unsure whether your proposed activity is appropriate.

Rules for use

The following rules for the Wetworks Outdoor Area must be adhered to at all times:
