What is a Stilt House?

  • A stilt house is a type of house built on tall poles or stilts above the ground.
  • It's built this way to keep the house safe from floods, water, or insects like bugs and mosquitoes.
  • Stilt houses are found in places where it rains a lot or near rivers and oceans.

Example 1: In some places in Asia, people build stilt houses to stay safe during heavy rains that cause floods.

Example 2: In the Amazon rainforest, families use stilt houses to remain above the water that can rise during the rainy season.

Example 3: In the Bayou region of Louisiana, stilt houses help protect homes from rising water and keep them safe from alligators and snakes.

Fun Fact: Stilt houses can also have steps that lead up to the door, making them fun to climb and giving a great view of the surrounding area!
