bender 

A shelter widely used by British hippies travelling in caravans, formed by cutting springy young tree branches or root suckers and bending them into a bowed shape, securing them to the ground at both ends, until a curved space is formed. Covered by a tarp, it serves as a sort of tent.

"We'll make a bender for you for the night." "I don't feel the need for a homosexual bloke nor a short jail term, so I'm hoping you mean a temporary shelter."
