tin shacks
Corrugated iron dwellings
Tin shacks are makeshift dwellings constructed from corrugated metal sheets, typically found in impoverished areas, shantytowns, or informal settlements.
The term evokes images of flimsy, improvised housing—structures that offer minimal protection from weather and no permanence: Tin shacks lined the hillside above the city.
The phrase can describe actual buildings or serve as shorthand for poverty and underdevelopment.
