The women made shelters called benders. These were temporary shelters made out of flexible hazel branches or willow withies. The branches are placed in the ground, then bent and woven together to form a strong dome-shape. The dome is then covered using tarpaulin or plastic sheeting. When built properly these temporary shelters can withstand strong wind and rain.
