i am a kid myself and i love your idea. i dont have any chairs that i can use but a replacement could be maybe night-stands or something. i am 11 and yes, i still love to make forts. one thing you left out is making an exscape-pod so then if somebody is comeing you can get away quickly and you wont have to take it down.

I’m just curious, not trying to plug annoying ads, but me and my business partner share the same feelings about this timeless, classic way to entertain children. And we created a product (www.toydle.com) that we hope doesn’t take away from the nostalgic feel of fort building but allows kids to have “their own stuff,” meaning they don’t have to ask mom and dad if they can destroy the living room. What do you think? Good idea, or not?

Oh my goodness I love building forts! The kids I babysit and I build them constantly. Maybe I can convince my friends to help me build one for my 16th birthday next month. That would be an amazing sweet 16. xD
And that ceiling idea is genius, I’ll have to try it!

This is exactly what I needed. My girlfriend and I are planning on a nostalgia date here soon and I needed a crash course/new ideas for the blanket fort we’re planning on building. The plan: blanket fort, 80’s X-men re-runs, rice crispy treats, and twister. I’m 19 and she’s 20. This is going to be a day well spent. Nostalgia FTW. Thanks!

Thanks for all the great tips! I’m in college and we still make forts. My best friend and I bonded by making a fort together the first weekend of freshman year. I’m on Christmas break right now, but I can’t wait to get back to school and try using fitted sheets and hooks!
