We purchased the skyfort ii for our son. There are so many activities that he can use now and grow into in the future. The items were well packaged and it took by husband 11 hours to put it together (he’s a contractor). He raves about how detailed and well organized the instructions were. We would absolutely recommend this swingset to anyone look for outdoor play for their kids.

This set is great. My kids LOVE it. Rain or shine they are on it. Shipping was super fast, it came actually too fast because we didn't even have the area ready yet and it was already in our driveway. Make sure you start and finish where its going to be forever because we didn't and it was pretty heavy to try to move. My husband and I are very handy, with many tools on hand. Forewarning, there are some tools needed that are not listed in the beginning of the instruction manual. (few random drill bits) Best advice I could give is have a nice size work area, and separate all your boards together into rows with their respective labeling. (example L1-L10, M1-M74, so on and so on) Also, separate your hardware into piles. (ex: bolts, washers, screws, lag screws) DON'T USE A BUCKET OR BOWL TO GRAB HARDWARE AND GO!! Its easier to just bring the bags so you don't get pieces mixed up. We went this route and it made life and the whole process much easier and quick. My husband and I were both helping so one would work on a particular task while the other grabbed all the wood for the next part and stacked it up. This helped the whole process fly by, it only ended up taking a few hours over the course of a few days to do. (We had to keep stopping because of bad weather, otherwise I think we could have gotten it done in a day or two. The set is absolutely more than I would have ever asked for, meaning it has everything my kids could ever want to do in a swing set. The only negative feedback I have is that the quality of the wood itself is not so good. Multiple boards came bowed, uneven, had big holes from knots where hardware was supposed to go, and just poor quality. Some were slightly split, and when putting together they split even more. Some of the pilot holes were off causing us to drill new ones to line everything up. I get nothing is perfect when you get 4 boxes filled with what seems like a billion pieces but if it effects the integrity of the structure its a bit worrisome for parents. We ended up replacing a few small pieces where hardware split the wood completely, and we even bought a few longer screws to put where the bowed wood wouldn't stay attached to the wood behind it. Other than that I would say all in all we are getting our moneys worth because my boys are very happy with it.

This is a well priced playset and my children all love it (ages 2, 5, 9). Its beautiful, high quality and sturdy. The only downside is the assembly. When the directions say it will take 2 people 24-36 hours, that is NOT an exaggeration. We hired handymen to do it and it took them three days and cost us more than the set itself. So, make sure you have the manpower to assemble!

It took my husband and father 3 days to put this together about 25 hours total. The set came with a million pieces which I think the company should've orangized better. Overall it's a huge Playsets that I know my son will have lots of fun with especially during this pandemic and for future years to come.

Can't say enough great things about this playset!! Friends and neighbors, just love this thing :) We got the additional floor set, and it's the nicest play-set I've seen around. Backyard Discovery is one of the best companies to work with. Customer service is EXCELLENT, A++++ . Whether it's replacement pieces, add-ons, or shipping questions, I definitely thing they make the grade. Would definitely buy from again. ASSEMBLY TIPS - Make sure you organize all wooden pieces 1st. I would recommend organizing nuts/bolts into separate small boxes as well (I had about 8). You will need an additional friend to help you when putting up the big swing/monkey bar beams, and probably the roof panels.

Love the equipment execept the slide. It feels and looks flimsy. The installer said if I would have bought in store (Sams) that the slide would have been a one piece unit. Why can’t online buyers get this option or have the ability to purchase? This is an expensive item and I would like the slide to last

We bought the Skyfort II set at Xmas 2019 for our then 2yro. Who knew that just around the corner all public parks and playgrounds would be closing. We assembled the set, my little one helped with his plastic tools, at the end of January. This set was more of a life saver than we ever could have imagined when we made the purchase. We have since added some accessories from the BYD site to add to his entertainment options. Nothing short of hours of fun for my little one. I am a bit old school and used the paper directions to assemble. At 36 yro, it took me 2 full weekends to assemble alone. I have no complaints though.

Our product arrived on time and the assembly was scheduled a week later. We were asked if we wanted to be called if there were any cancellations. We agreed and were called the next day! Our delivery team was professional and FAST! Start to finish was 5hrs and my little ones were playing that very same evening. The kids love the fort and the different swings, but play with just about every part. I have a 4 and 6yr old. Overall this was a great experience for us.

We purchased this for our church, and it was the best price that i could find for a swingset this size. Looks really nice put together. Kids love it. Took us 2 1/2 days to put together!!! Directions were pretty easy to read with exception of the position of the holes in the boards. When you put boards in each position, make sure u take notice of the position the extra holes in the boards. We had several boards we ended up having to take off and flip over or around to line up for the next step. The directions are a little hard to see the positions of the holes. Other than that was good. The longest part is looking for the screws and bolts and boards for each step. Be sure to go ahead at the beginning and organize each board according to alphabet so u wont have to search for each board!!!

A great value! We purchased this almost 2 years ago and we love this set. It is definitely a set that can grow with the children because of all the different types of play it offers. It has proven to be a hit with many kids at a time during playdates. It does take a weekend to assemble, but it’s well worth it. There were only a couple of pieces (1 board and 2 hardware pieces that were missing) and the company was easy to talk to and quickly shipped the parts. The only maintenance I do is annually spraying it with Thompson Seal!
