The Phineas and Ferb's backyard fort is built when Phineas and Ferb competed with Thaddeus and Thor to see who could build the best backyard fort ("Thaddeus and Thor"). As expected, Phineas and Ferb's fort turned out to be much larger and cooler than Thaddeus and Thor's.

The fort's bottom base.
When the fort was first revealed to the public, it appeared to be small and basic, which Candace shuns her brothers for without letting Phineas explain further. However, Phineas reveals after Candace left this was only the top level, which he states was modeled on an old classic.; Ferb then used a remote which caused the fort to rise to 10 stories high. Each floor was designed differently, and the fort included a "Terracotta Army" room, a "Wind tunnel" room and a Bowling alley. The fort was enough to one-up Thaddeus and Thor's, reducing them to smack-jawed silence as Mandy angrily takes them home and realizes they were better than them.

The ordinary top portion, which calls back to old-school construction.
Although the fort was magnificent and loved by all, even Candace, the boys had to turn the extension off due to zoning laws. When the fort deactivated, only the top level remains, which is what Linda saw.
