The Wappos built their summer structures using a framework of branches tied together in a dome shape with a thatch covering made from leaves and smaller branches. The doors were covered at night with bundles of grass tied together. Women gathered the materials and the men did the building. When the structures became dirty they were burnt down.
Their winter structures were made from branches and mud , and were more permanent.
