Answer 2

What a cool question!

The best way to build an outside fort is use your ingenuity and think it through.  Look at what kind of stuff you can get to build it with.  DONT STEAL ANYTHING FROM ANYONE!  You dont have to, there are a lot of things you can use that get thrown out.  Thousands of years ago when I was a kid we used everything we could bet our hands on.  You can use poles, plastic buckets, even sod and dirt.  One fort we built was made out of small live trees lashed together at the top.  The roof was made of thatch (straw and grass).  We even spent some nights camped out in it, once during a storm.  It kept us dry and was still there in the morning.  You could build underground forts but you have to be careful nothing will cave in.  I would go on further but my break is up.  I wish you well on your construction project!
