The dendrometers measure the daily hydro-ecological pulse and seasonal growth of trees. To avoid confounding effects of bark and stem tissues wetting by the rain, the dendrometers need to be covered from direct rain.

For the roots, two boards of 1-inch thickness and around 25 (height) x 30 (width) cm are needed. One or two complementary pieces with 90-degree angles are used to add strength to the assembled A-like hut.

As for the stems, it is important to cover the stemflow from above and direct rain from above and the sides. The design is also simple and involves a board of 20x20 cm as a roof and two lateral pieces of 20x10 cm.
