Rustic Fort

This instructional document is to help the novice or semi-experienced carpenter to create their own fort for their children or even pets. This fort was specifically designed in a certain manner. It is called a Rustic Fort because it has uneven hoarding like a Civil War fort or Dark Ages fort. The picture on the front cover is the fort that was designed for this plan. Some modifications were made to simplify this plan for the novice. However the original was designed to be a solitary 6x6x10 fort but an additional sections with rampart was designed afterward. This is obviously optional. It will be easy to add these portions later if you want, rather than build the entire project at once. These instructions are a guide to build a six foot square fort that is roughly ten feet tall. It has a ladder leading into the back side. The housing area is four feet from the ground and the roof is four feet from the deck. The underground area is four feet from ground. The backside is designed to be open where as the sides have hoarding.
