How to build a fort

A fort is a very fun and simple private base that anyone can construct which allows them to be sectioned off from the rest of the world. Although forts seem simple to build, they often require at least some tips in order to build them to their full potential. This guide shows some of these tips and helps even a novice fort builder to create the fort of their dreams. The entire process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours depending on how much help there is and the size of the fort. Although forts are usually created by children, some children will need help rearranging furniture and reaching high places. Because of the limitations of some children an adult may be needed to assist them.

Step 1 Gather Materials

The great thing about forts is that blankets are the only things that is truly needed.  Unfitted sheets work best but any type of blanket works.  Also multiple sheets are preferred since the amount of sheets determine how big the fort will be.  The following are a few materials which allow for easier fort building:

-  Sheets/Blankets
-  Clothespins
-  Duct tape
-  Rope
-  Furniture (tables, couches, etc.)

I do the same exact thing. Then I lure someone into the trap and shoot them. It's also convenient to have spare matresses or box springs.
