We built one last year out of pallets, and hay building 3 sides plus a roof or breaking them down and getting fancier with all that nice wood. I know i get them for free from places like Rural King etc...then add hay and it allows for easy adjusting to where the storm or wind is coming from to enhance the shelter. We set it up with a large square piece of wood making the entrance natural and small enough to hold sone heat etc.
