4/6/2015 0 Comments Fort structureYou're never too old for a giant, awesome fort. The issue just becomes making one big enough to fit in as you grow older. My oldest specially requested a fort in her room, but we wanted to make it especially roomy and cozy. I hoped to make it so she can sit on her bed and still watch tv. The solution? creating a multiple clothes line structure over her bed to pin sheets to. I decided to just screw into the wall, because ain't nobody got time for concerning yourself with consequences. We put 4 screws up, then used rope with slip knots to make a cats cradle zig zag of rope. Here's the issues we ran into: -The screws ripped out of the drywall when excessive weight was applied to certain sections of fort wall. -the screws didn't always hold the rope well, depending on the size of the screw head and the angle we put it into the wall Other than that?? It was awesome. We hung sheets and curtains and light weight quilts from it and she left the fort up for over a month. She wanted to do everything in the fort. We even had Christmas lights up for a little bit. I might try getting some dry wall hole reinforcer thingies to solve some of the issues. The other idea I had was to just get her a 4 poster bed, which would pop into a fort as quickly as anything. #forts4life #myfortisbetterthanyourfort #lifeinafort
