Make a fort in Waldick's Woods?

[Wolff]

OK ... in my woods where the treestand (or w/e it used to be) was ... you know .. the place where the new fort is ... with the posts in the ground ...


Anyways. .. i think that we should build a wooden fort there ... out of partical board or something like that ... ... Anyways ... i'm not sure how much it will cost ... ill talk to Mr. Lewis about the cost and post that when i know..

But i was thinking like

Four walls with a window in each wall ( no glass or anything .. just a hole lol )

A working door in one of the walls

and thats about it .... i imagine it will take about 3-4 man hours to get it good ...

But i was thinking that maybe after a while we could add on to the fort .... maybe make a second story??

Tell me what you guys think the fort should be like ... maybe more than 1 room ... ect .... ill get the dimentions of the posts soon ... but also VOTE IN THE POLE PLZ ! TY

and post whether or not you think we should have a roof ect...

EDIT : OK ... i found that the dimentions for fort are 12'x13'

which will give us about 142 feet^2 of space inside the fort ...

I need you guys to decide how tall you want the fort to be also

Edit 2 : Got new pics ... i made this in SketchUp .. its a cool prgm ..

Where is everybody ?!? Is this website dead or something? !



ANYWAY >... ok i started the trails in my woods today ...

Orange = fort location
Green = Completed trail
Blue1 = possible trail finish
Blue2 = possible trail finish
Yellow = possible trail




Which trail ending do you think i should do ?

and do you think i should do the yellow trail ?


Post back ... and if yes to yellow trail im going to need some help !

[nomercyredwolf]

talk 2 aj about help with the trail cause he actually knows what hes doing and i'd be willing 2 go out 2 ur woods and help u and aj with the trail.

Matthew i can help form the trail if i get the ok from my dad if anything he will have to tag along and do all the cutting but it shuld not take that long to get the trails done and i can also help with the fort . i am a pretty good wood worker sumtimes. so just txt me wen we r about to start. oh ps i can get a ton of pallets if u can get a truck we can use to get them.

[Wolff]

I pretty much got the main trail done ... and about the pallets ... I think that would be great for like runups and stuff to the fort , however I don't think it would be good to make the whole fort out of that ..... Aren said he could get a lot of 2x10s but we would need like 200ft worth of it. I am going to see if i can get a sample of 1/4" plywood from Mr. Lewis then maybe do a fireing squad at it to see how much it can take b4 it will break... I was going toget Waffer board but if it gets wet then it sucks ... so ... yeah ....


EDIT :
I updated the pic to let u guys know the progress of the trail ...

The green is what is done ... mostly ...
The blue is what i NEED to do yet ...
The yellow and pink are what i would like to have at some point



THe reason why the blue curves back to the fort is to go arround a large fallen tree... I think that this will be a great defencive thing because there is a spot where you can hide in the brances of the fallen tree with a great view of the fort.

heck ur woods is got enough downed trees that we could just try to make a couple runups/little bunkers out of them. just stack them and have twigs and old leaves on them so that they blend into the enviroment.

Well since its getting much warmer we can finally do some work on matts woods. AJ said he had about 5 huge pallets that we could take out there to use but he'd need someone with a truck to pick them up and take them out there.

Idk where you guys are located never played with you guys, but my team has experience with building forts from plye wood. If you guys ever need help just let us know. We got extra man power.
