How to build a Kid's Play Fort - A fort that will provide hours of fun for kids young and old!

This detailed plan-set with step-by-step instructions is in both metric (mm) and imperial (inch) dimensions.
The design includes a trap door entry, a climbing wall, a swing and there is also a slide installation guide.

The footprint is Approx 1800mm x 1800mm (6'x6') and the overall height is 3200mm (10' 8").


Measure, cut, drill and assemble.
The play fort is designed to be self-supporting, which means that there are no posts to concrete into the ground. The complete frame is fixed together with bolts, so as well as being very strong, the fort can also be dismantled.

The building of this project is broken down into two stages:
1. The cutting and drilling of all the lumber pieces, which includes a detailed drawing of every piece of lumber used in the frame showing where to drill every hole.
2. Putting together the structure, with step-by-step instructions.

Once the members have been cut and all the holes drilled, simply line up the holes in one member with the holes in another member (according to directions), place the bolts in the holes and the fort will take shape automatically.

    Hello, I purchased the kids fort design and built a slightly modified fort last summer. I thought you would be interested in seeing the finished project. I found the plans easy to follow and very helpful. Kindest Regards, Doug Hubble Ontario, Canada   See picture



    I purchased the Play Fort plans last year and finally completed the Play Fort. My son, who is 9 years old, loves it. I wanted to include a picture of the finished product. Thank you so much for the plans!   See picture
