There were four main types of shelters during the blitz. The earliest versions were called Morrison shelters, which were rectangular shaped and made of very heavy steel. Families sometimes used their Morrison shelter as a table in their living rooms.
The second type of shelter made was called an Anderson shelter. These were built outside in peoples' gardens. They were built into the ground and the tops were covered with soil. Some people grew vegetables on top of their shelters.
Another type of shelter was a public shelter, these were used for people who lived in flats and by people at work. The public shelters weren't liked by citizens.
Finally, in London the underground railway stations were used as shelters, as they were very deep. Thousands of people slept on the platforms every night.

Anderson Shelters were distributed to people for self assembly in their garden. From March 1941, Morrison Shelters were distributed to people who didn't have a garden. They were steel cages, again for self assembly at home and the top of the shelter could also be used as a table.
The materials are birch trees, grass sheets (kind of like grassy blankets) and... that's it.
Athabascans lived in shelters covered by caribou hide or wooden structures that were buried partially into hills or snow.

They were stone age hunter/gatherers, who lived in caves and rock shelters.
Anderson shelters were made from corrugated iron.
Cro-Magnon used a variety of shelters, including caves, overhanging cliffs, and temporary structures made from animal bones, hides, and wooden poles. They also used natural materials such as leaves and branches to construct shelters when needed. Their choice of shelter depended on factors such as season, location, and availability of resources.
