Best Answer

most of them are made out of hay, sticks, and wood.

2nd answer: Technically correct, but let me see if I can flesh out that answer a bit. I am going to take "hut" to mean a peasant's house. Such buildings were built with post and beam frames. The house might have a foundation, or might have the posts rest on individual stones. In some cases the posts were sunk directly into the earth.

Between the posts panels were installed, built with a technique called "wattle and daub". In the technique a wooden frame is filled in with a lattice of thin branches and sticks. Over this lattice a mixture of soil, clay, straw, and sometimes animal dung is applied. Once dry the material was lime washed. On the Exterior this helped with waterproofing, and on the interior the white color helped reflect light and brighten the room.

The roof was made of a material called thatch. Thatch is made by bundling and tying plant materials, such as grass, reeds, sedge, and other similar plants, to form a thick mat. Properly constructed and maintained thatch is both wind and water proof.

Glazed windows were known in the middle ages, but they were very expensive, so they typically only appeared in very high status buildings, such as churches, monasteries and the homes of the rich aristocracy.
