Whats up /out/sider

I've been in the mood to build a fort lately, so i'm starting to draw plans. Do you guys have any ideas as to what i could do or maybe have some inspiration? Post your own if you have some you've made. I would like to keep it to materials just found out in the wilderness.

Plant thick thorny trees around the wall.

what is that second floor structure? I understand the roofed structure but what is that excess on top? I kind of want to build something like this, but I don't want to get fined for it. If it is made out of rocks, sticks, and dirt does that make it acceptable?

Is this in Sweden?

In Östergötland to be specific. If so, I live near this place.

Looks to me to either be

A- Roof trusses which where supposed to be covered at some point

B- Structural support to keep the thing from falling over.

>Rocks, sticks and dirt make it acceptable?

What else to we build real houses out of? A mix of rocks (Concrete), sticks (2x4s) and dirt (dirt).

Trespassing is trespassing, it would be the terms of which you did this that would make the difference.

Chances are if you get caught the property owner will have a laugh and maybe tell you to leave

>17-20
He'll probably think you're smoking pot/drinking unless you can convince him you're just having fun outside and say sorry for intruding.

>21-?
Highly likely he'll think you're trying to squat on his land. Probably won't be as nice to you as some kids.

Also keep in mind the duration/scale of the project will change things. If you build a little thing and only use it occasionally, you should be fine. If you build a house and fuck with it every day, you may not be as fine.....

Also, where do you live where they fine you for things like this?

Not to be offensive or anything, but it sounds like a yurop mentality.

I live in America and would probably do it somewhere on The Appalchian Trail near one of the trail towns. Some of those public forests have meth stills and shit so I assume I could just erect one out of the way somewhere, but I assume anything that looks semi-permanent is a no-no. It would be really cool to make secret structures along the Appalachian Trail so you could have nicer lodgings.

That place looks sketchy as fuck. Is it for real? Those live loads...snow, firewood, yikes...I remember doing this as a kid though, it really was lots of fun.

I think the only thing I can see wrong with this is the way the building is supported. Ain't no way I'd have just bolted the bottom.

But then, some fucking architect will have designed and engineers and shit will have made sure it's not gonna kill everyone

That would imply there are building codes where this was built.

The support is what I was referring to. Give a nice strong wind, those trees are going to start to move and shift...
