A '''shack''' is a type of small, often primitive shelter or dwelling. Like [[hut]]s, shacks are constructed by hand using available materials; however, whereas huts are usually rural and made of natural materials (mud, rocks, sticks, etc.) shacks are generally composed of [[waste picker|scavenged]] man-made materials like abandoned construction debris, repurposed consumer waste and other useful discarded objects that can be quickly acquired at little or no cost and fashioned into a small [[dwelling]].
In areas of low [[population density]] and low poverty, shacks are often the most prevalent form of housing; it is possible that up to a billion people worldwide live in shacks.<ref>Planet of Slums, Verso, 2006</ref> Fire is a significant hazard in tight-knit shack settlements.<ref>[http://www.abahlali.org/node/4013 A Big Devil in the jondolos: A report on shack fires by Matt Birkinshaw]</ref> Settlements composed mostly or entirely of shacks are known as [[slums]] or [[shanty town]]s.
In [[Australian English]] ''shack'' can also refer to a small holiday house with limited conveniences, for instance, it may not have running water or electricity.
In oilfield drilling (Canada) a shack can also be the word for a well site trailer. Structures that were once notorious among oilfield workers for being cramped, uncomfortable and generally unpleasant to be in are now no longer good enough for companies that are serious about employee retention.
