Detailing a Robin Hoods Fort

Luscious browns and blues with touches of curry make a tasty color palette for this Robin Hood’s Fort with 9′ long bridge (soon to have 2 swings attached underneath).

The guys are “detailing”. This is the stage in our process where we erect the structure and bolt it together to make sure that every modular piece fits perfectly.

Then we add:

– swing hangers & monkey bars under the bridge,

– rock holds to the back wall

– play accessories and more…

In this picture Jose is adding the side shutters to the Fort and Marco is just coming in from the metal shop where he was welding. We make many of our own metal parts, such as the special metal sleeves that wrap around the “footing” ends of every post that will be sunk into concrete, 2′ below grade.
