Driftwood fort
A driftwood fort, or drifwoot hut, or teepee, is a man-made collection of driftwood stacked to make a hut, usually at a beach.[1]

Drifwood forts are most commonly built during Spring. They can be either made by one person, or by a group.[2]

In 2016 a 3 metre tall driftwood fort named "fort awesome" and was made by six men on Waiwhakaiho Beach. It was later taken down by the New Plymouth District Council due to safety concerns.[3]
