LEAN-TO

A lean-to is a very primitive form of shelter that’s little more than a wall or two and a roof. It’s meant to keep you safe from the worst of the rain and wind, and often leans into existing walls or fences, hence the name. Find any tucked-in spot or corner, rig a tarp roof with some ropes knotted to trees, and lean a side of plywood against the house. Build up the front with branches, odd pieces of old fence your neighbors left out on trash day, or even a picnic table turned on its side.

INDOOR FORT

The classic formula of couch cushions, blankets, and the backs of sofas and chairs is a good start for an indoor fort, as is throwing blankets over the top of the dining room table (stacks of books on top help keep them in position).

You can improve upon these traditional forts. To make a hanging wall, screw a line of hooks or eyebolts into the ceiling. Run picture-hanging wire or clothesline rope through them. Attach clips or clothespins, and from these, dangle all sorts of sheets, light blankets, large swaths of cloth, holiday lights, or your mother’s oversized scarves to create a different kind of fort.
