When its outgrown its use, there's no dismantling, and no dump runs needed- a fort like this would simply rot and return to the earth. That could also be considered its downside.
I love this idea though, and its something I'd like to try at some point. Its so simple too- just build a base, drill holes around the perimeter, stick the long branch lengths into the holes and tie them/bring them together at a peak, and then weave in the walls.
I suppose you could also cover this with chicken wire layers, or hardware cloth, and then a few coats of ferrocement to make it a mini concrete dome home.....cob and mud building and wattle and daub techniques could also be combined with this skeletal approach too....
