Great product for the price. Definatley alot some time for assembly and get a helping hand. I recommend sorting all wood by letter and doing a complete inventory of lumber. The bolts and bucket nuts tend to cross thread easily so start them by hand. Once assembled this thing is awesome. We have become the hit of the neighborhood among the kids which makes all the time building it worth it when you see them having a blast.

We bought this a year ago and have enjoyed having our own playground in our backyard! The kids (4&7) love the lookout and the rock wall. It’s perfect for picnics, playing store, and even bring in pillows for lounging. Very sturdy as well. My husband assembled in less than 2 weeks.

We love our new Skyfort II. We have had this swingset for about 9 months. My girls who are 1 1/2 and 3 have enjoyed it almost daily. We chose this swing set over others because we wanted something with monkey bars, a picnic table, swings, a slide, and a "clubhouse", this set offers all of that plus a glider, a crows nest, and a sandbox. Overall we are soo happy with this swingset and would purchase it all over again if we had to. We recommend it to all our friends as we get so much use out of it and with so many different things to do on it, multiple kids can easily play on it at the same time. Perfect for families with multiple kids.

Our daughter is 3 and she has new twin sisters. We wanted something she could use today, but would be fun for all three and their friends as they grow. The Skyfort II is nails this aspect of development! There is plenty she can already do, from the sand box, picnic table, swings, slide, and crow's nest (amazing!). There are also a few enticing challenges like the climbing wall and monkey bars that she will grow into. It is also attractive. I cannot express how important that is. Why ruin your backyard with a hideous monstrosity? Sure, it's for the kids, but that doesn't mean is has to be an eyesore. As they continue to grow our house will definitely be the place to be!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last summer for my young grand children. They love to visit Nana and have so much fun on it! This play set was a pleasure to build, every part is numbered and the instruction were written so well, that assembly was stress free. Couldn’t be more happy with this purchase.

We bought this online and had it shipped. Upon receiving, I took inventory of everything in each box with the included parts list. It made it a lot easier to have everything laid out when building. The instructions were easy to follow which was very nice. Be extra careful to match the pilot holes with what's on the pictures. The two issues we ran into were with improperly drilled pilot holes and some missing hardware. Once we figured out the pilot holes were wrong (especially on B5), we just measured and drilled them out ourselves. We ended up running to the local hardware store for the lags and bolts that were missing here and there just so we could get everything finished. Now that it's done, it looks beautiful and the kids love it!

We got out play set 1 year ago and our 4 year old loves it. There’s plenty of different features to keep her entertained. The monkey bars are too far spaced apart for her but that is something she will grow into. The wood it’s made out of isn’t as heavy as what we thought it would be but is holding up well. We did put a coating of water sealer on the play set to be safe. Set up- it’s not pretty. Be prepared to do this over a couple of days. With 3 people who are somewhat handy you could get it built in 3 days if you work all day. Everything was labeled very nicely, there are just A LOT of pieces. Overall I am happy with our purchase and so is my child.

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!

I purchased the product mid April for my daughter's birthday. Once the product arrived I began to open the box to inspect the swing set. At first glance I notice that one of the main swing beams and a support brace had been slightly damaged but wasn't worth me replacing it. After sorting out the pieces I realized that there was 9 pieces missing. These missing pieces prevented us from being able to assemble the product. After calling the company to have the pieces shipped they informed me it would be an additional 10 days before we received the missing pieces. In the mean time I had to keep the wood out of the weather to prevent any warping of the wood. Not exactly what I had in mind when purchasing the product. We finally have the swing/play set assembled; 21 days after placing the order. We felt that some pieces of wood did not seem very strong or durable as the previous wooden swing set we bought 8 yrs ago. When placing the wooden screws with an electric drill you will want to do this with some caution because the wood is easy to splinter. My husband and I will be shocked if the swing set holds up for 5 yrs.

During a time when our childrens’ lives are anything but normal, the Skyfort II brought a welcome smile to their faces, and the wonderful sound of laughter to our backyard. Our girls love the large fort and crows nest, and they spend hours alternating between swinging on the swings, and climbing on the monkey bars. I elected to assemble the playset on my own, which was a large task, but very managable with some organization of the pieces and hardware at the outset. I also chose to pre-treat every piece of wood with a water sealer/UV protectant semi-transparent stain, prior to assembly. To enhance the usability of this playset for our daughters, I covered the sandbox area with additional cedar plank flooring, creating an even larger ground floor pinic and play area. With so many restrictions and closures at present, the Skyfort II was the perfect way to create a safe, full featured playground for our daughters, in our own backyard.
