Lean your fort up against a tree, if you can. Forts built in the woods are the easiest to make. Big rocks can be great places to put a fort, if you can find them.

If you have thick string, you can wrap it between the corners and put blankets or towels over the top to make walls. Try to make your walls between a few big trees or bushes to make it easier to build.

Old dry branches that have fallen off trees that still have leaves are perfect for making a roof. If you build your fort under a tree with low branches, you might not need to add a roof.

If you want, you can bring things from your house to decorate the inside of your fort. Always be sure to ask permission for this, though. You might want to make a sign for your fort, with a name.
