Man Caves, Mega Forts & Epic Garage Setups

The Mega Backyard Fort

HEYOOO it’s Tristan

So first things first: forts. You can’t call yourself a true kid (or Dad) without one.

One summer, Oliver and Dad built us a giant wooden fort in the backyard. It had:

• A ladder (that Dale was scared to climb at first).

• A lookout tower (where Blythe hung her princess flag).

• A “no girls allowed” sign (that lasted 2 minutes before Mum took it down).

I call it the “Mega Base.” Ezra calls it “HQ.” Mum calls it “unsafe” until Quick-Kits fixed it.

The Garage Man Cave

Now let’s talk about Dad’s favorite hideout: the garage man cave.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Garage shelving stacked with tools he never uses.

• Table tennis table

• (Oliver always wins, grr).

• Foosball (I win at this one, don’t argue).

• Dartboard (Mum banned me after I “accidentally” hit the fridge).

• Tool bench that Dad guards like it’s made of gold.

The best part? Dad says it’s “his space.” But then we all invade it anyway.

Table Toys = Big Fun
