    Yes, for this type of fort you must use a fan.
  • Question
    Can I put it on top of a chair?
    Community Answer
    No, because the sides won't be sealed, and you'll end up with the air from the fan going out.

    How do you put the chair?
    Community Answer
    On the end of the blanket, as shown in the picture. This is so that when you turn on the fan, the blanket won't blow away.

    It may be hard to avoid deflating, but it would be easier to ask for help, that way when you get in your fort they can fix it.

    Try asking If you can put it in your room. If they still say no, you can ask if you can if you don't make a mess.
  • Question
    Would a tall fan work?
    Community Answer
    If you're building the fort on a high place, like a bed, then a tall fan would work.
  • Question
    What if I don't have a sheet?
    Community Answer
    If you have pegs you can peg together pillow cases, clothes, plastic bags, sheets of paper, or just use you blanket.
  • Question
    What if I don't have a peg or blanket or weights?
    Community Answer
    Use a sheet from your bed. And light objects (books, lamps, even small pieces of furniture like end tables) should work to hold down the sheet.
  • Question
    How do I make a fan fort if I only have a few small cushions and a large space?
    Community Answer
    You can't. A sheet or something not too heavy that won't inflate is required to make sure no air escapes. But you can still make a cool fort with some pillows and a blanket!

    Of course! Your fan fort can be made bigger by using larger blankets or combining smaller pillow cases.

    No. If you use a small fan, the fort won't hold up. The small fan isn't powerful enough.
