I think it sucked! Mt forts are so much better. I am making a website of how to build a real fort and pictures. The fort I just built had room for 2 people. My forts have room for at least 15 people. My forts have maximum 7 rooms when this fort has one room. I will also give the steps for building one of mine, then you can compare me and Corey’s forts to see who’s better.

Good input John! My kids have one of these ‘toydle.com’ forts and I know what you mean about them having their own space! This way when it’s dinner time the fun with the fort does’t have to end. My boys are ages 3, 8, 11, and 15. They all enjoy making forts! and because this kit is compatible with pvc fittings my older ones have begun to customize it and do some really cool stuff. Anyway, be encouraged it is a lot of fun and keeps kids from rotting on tv all day!

Thanks for all the detail. Especially love the floating ceiling. I work with children in a counseling agency and the fort will be great for building rapport with new clients and be a fun new thing for my old clients!

Awesome blog about an awesome topic! When I built my forts I liked to use my mattress whether it be as the floor of the fort or the roof. course I had plenty of mattresses to work with furniture that could hold up. It truely is up to the imagination when building a fort. A fun test to exercise ones creativeness!

I love building forts. I am 11 and building one right now. It is so fun. I dont have any friends to come in with me though. I am sick and stayed home from school… all of my friends are at school! It sucks!

I am a RA at my college and I’m putting this on as a program for my freshman students. It was they’re so clearly memories like these last forever and never get too old. Thanks for the steps on how to do it.
