Free Rental of Sports and Outdoor Equipment

BUA functions as an "equipment library" where people of all ages can borrow gear for free for up to one week. BUA is primarily aimed at children and youth, but anyone with a registered address in Norway and a Norwegian mobile number can borrow equipment.

Equipment can typically be borrowed for one week at a time, but if you’re traveling and need it for a bit longer, you can ask your local BUA branch for permission.

At Tingotek, you can borrow not only sports and recreational equipment but also anything else you might need, from tools and instruments to sewing machines. Borrowing is free as long as the items are returned in the same condition. Tingotek is located in Landås, Bergen.
