Cabane

 A few months ago, I decided to construct a millet stalk structure in front of my house in order to have a shady spot to relax during the hot season. Below are the photos of the construction of my cabane.

My friend is using a special tool to dig holes for the posts.

The framework has been set up and a millet stalk roof has been installed.

The finished product! All of the walls are attached like curtains, meaning they can be rolled up or pushed aside
