The second sentence is a sentence fragment. It doesn't make sense on its own.

Answer:

We had to build our own shelter because there were not enough tents.

Step-by-step explanation:

The only error in this sentence if the period between "shelter" and "because." You keepthe sentence together because it is cause and effect.
