How to build a fort

Step 5 Cover unfurnished areas (optional)

Sometimes when building a fort you may find yourself looking to expand into other areas.  The problem with that is some areas, such as hallways, do not have furniture and can be very hard extend your fort into.  To expand your fort into these areas a good idea is to use the rope method.  Simply attach a rope between two points so that the rope extends down a hallway or other open space.  You can now place your blankets over the rope much like a classic tent and use duct tape and clothespins to attach the excess sheets to the wall.

Tip:  An explanation on how to use duct tape and clothespins effectively to attach a sheet to a wall is explained in step 3.  There is also a picture shown below which may be helpful.
