1) The LAVVU is supported by three or more evenly spaced forked or notched poles that form a tripod. 2) There are upwards of ten or more unsecured straight poles that are laid up against the tripod and which give form to the structure. 3) The LAVVU does not need any stakes, guy-wire or ropes to provide shape or stability to the structure.
The traditional LAVVU consists of two types of wooden poles: 1) three or more forked poles and; 2) several straight poles. The forked poles have a two-stem fork at the top end. These three poles are interlocked together so that they form a tripod.
