    The Ultimate Backyard Fort for My Kids

    I couldn’t be happier with Paul’s Clubhouse Plan! It turned out exactly how I hoped—basically everything I dreamed of having when I was a kid. I love the height of the structure, and my kids have fully claimed it as their giant fort. Every summer it becomes the battleground for epic super soaker and water balloon fights, which is exactly the kind of fun I wanted them to have.

    This particular design really has it all: the slide, the fort, the swing set, and even a rock climbing wall. Next year I’m planning to add a monkey bar section on the back, which will make it even better. The plans themselves were straightforward and easy to follow. I did end up adapting a couple of things to match one of the other versions shown in the pictures, but that was simple to do.

    Overall, I’m thrilled with how it turned out and would absolutely recommend these plans to anyone who wants to build something truly special for their kids.

    Good plan overall but there is room for improvement

    the plans overall are pretty good, but there are errors and omissions in these plans that keep it from getting a 5 star. There are also come construction methods used that I wouldn't recommend as there are better methods available, like notching the post. I offered to help them by pointing out some of these errors, but I didn't receive a reply. Decent plans overall and the price is good, but I wouldn't recommend these to a novice.

    So glad I took this on

    It was a sizeable undertaking but Paul's plans were great for keeping the project under control with planning and pricing. 1 year later I would do it all again! Grab the tools Paul's plans have your back!

    Clear and easy to follow

    The plans were clear and easy to follow. Having a detailed material list made my life much easier and prevented a lot of wasted time and material.
