Overview

Fortification!

Forts are a fun way to create space and express your personal style. Fun for all ages, forts can be a secret base, a clubhouse, or a meeting place. Any way you slice it, forts are heaps of fun.

We want to see your fort creations. Maybe you’ve transformed your shed into an exclusive cinema, or you’ve covered your sofa with a blanket for a safe hide-and-go-seek place. Share your best indoor or outdoor fort projects to win great prizes that will compliment your creation. We’re awarding prizes for the best indoor and best outdoor fort Instructables, and 5 Runner-Up prizes in either indoor or outdoor.

You’re never too old to have a fort. So pull apart your sofa or break out the power tools and start constructing your fort. We can’t wait to see your creation!
