It wasn't so much a shelter as a heap of branches. As long as its three occupants lay still and didn't do anything energetic, such as breathe loudly, it wouldn't collapse. Probably.

Rose, lying between them, yawned. "Go on then," she said. "You've got the sonic screwdriver. Make us something better. Or just watertight."

"It doesn't work on wood," the Doctor mumbled.

Jack frowned. "How do you put up shelves with it, then?"
