Did you build forts when you were a kid?

What did they look like?

Yes! :D
Outside, any boards we could find, sticks & twigs, whatever; to defend against oncoming dirt clods from neighboring kids.
 
No, I never have. I've done more dangerous stuff. :D
 
Yeah it was so much fun. We had a young family member over recently and he was making a fort out of all the couch cushions and pillows.
 
Not very big ones :p .

I did once build one as an adult for sound recording, though - and it was modestly successful!
 
I used to love building forts, either with random boxes or with blankets and pillows... and sometimes chairs to help. The most memorable was when I went to my aunt's house in Maryland as a kid... We used her dining chairs, couch, and lots of blankets and pillows to make a super comfy fort for ourselves (my cousin, a neighbor of my aunt's, myself, and my aunt).
 
My sister and I would use the cupboard under the stairs at one house we lived in. It was the perfect place, our own little private room, no one allowed.
