Forts are strong buildings, which were used long ago for defense during any war. The larger forts are known as fortresses
- Looking for a suitable location when building a fort should be the first step. Among the best places where one can build a fort is in the back yard or in a place within the woods. One also has to decide whether they want their forte to be on plains or between trees in a particular place. If one wants their floor and walls to be supported they should try to use a 3 x 4 measurement.
- When building the fort one can decide if they want to keep their fort a secret or if they want everybody to know about it. If it is the latter, they should never leave anything valuable in their forte.
- The planning of the fort’s use should be one’s next step i.e. if they want it to be a hideout or crib.
- If one’s fort stands on a hill, make sure that the place is well dug so that it is able to go half and half. Digging is mostly the preferred method since building the heights could not only be dangerous but difficult as well.
- Collect every wood that is available including wood scraps. Thick beams should be used in the building of a tough ground floor. The building of pillars should be done using strong pieces and the roof should be covered using a branch.
- The next step is to pit weights on the boards to test them. One should not just step upon it and then hope it will accommodate their weight. Always ensure that they support every weight that may be placed on it and if possible one can try using a very heavy weight to know the strength.
- The next step is to start building the fort using nails and wood glue and so on. Make sure that the materials used are when working is safe and are using quality stuff.
- Look for 2 trees that are about five feet apart. One will be luckier if the trees they are using create a Y. If this is the case one should then make their fort in a place that has long sticks.
- The 2 trees one has will give them their frame and one should put a lengthy stick through their trees. It should generally take the shape of —y—–y—
- Finally, place the walls upon the sticks to make them go vertically in a direct manner. The layers that are needed for the fort’s walls are one sticks two pine bows, three barks. The fort will now be complete as well as waterproof.
Before building a fort, one should ensure that they have all the plan in place and well set in that all one will need to do is just construct it. Although there are many designs, always ensure that the site can accommodate the planned fort in terms of size and weight.
