A driftwood fort, driftwood hut, or teepee,[failed verification] is a man-made collection of driftwood stacked to make a hut, usually at a beach. Most driftwood forts are conic in shape, though they may more closely resemble an ordinary camping tent, or be built in the manner of a log cabin with logs stacked horizontally. Driftwood forts are particularly common along the American and Canadian west coasts. [1]
Drifwood forts are most commonly built during Spring. They can be either made by one person, or by a group.[2]
