The wells are made from animal skins and/or fibres made from plant materials, and supported by plant fibre ropes or wooden beams.
Though the exact mechanism is unknown (modern Mudokons have all forgotten their ancestors great prowess, and have barely a fraction of the technological advancement they did), I believe they employ some sort of vacuum created by some sort of technology, or at a stretch, a/some Mudokons have put spiritual energy into the well, to make it able to create a vacuum of wind.
The way Abe is sucked through it means that Abe likely doesn't touch the sides much, if at all, and/or otherwise, the material used is much tougher than it appears. It's lasted well enough so many years, hasn't it?
This could've been in the Q&A thread, BTW.
