Hours of fun!

We’ve had the skyfort 2 for a few months now and my kids love it! It’s big enough for my 6 and 8 year old to enjoy, while still catering to my 3 year old. My husband and father in law spent 3 eight hour days assembling it. There were parts they had to figure out as they went along due to unclear directions or pieces not fitting properly, but in the end they made it work. Our order was missing two pieces, but backyard discovery quickly sent the pieces with no charge. I would recommend this set for anyone looking for a playground that will cater to children of different ages or grow with their toddlers. I’m very happy with our purchase.

Wonderful Swing-set!

We bought this for my 4 year old son after his first swing set blew over in a very strong storm. We are absolutely thrilled with this set and he has to room to grow into it. The anchors are excellent and I have no fear that it will fall over like that last one. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

Big enough to grow into, attractive design.

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!

Amazing product

My husband and I purchased this swing set a month ago for our kids. My husband built it all by himself and did a fabulous job with the help of your directions app. Our kids could spend hours and love playing on it. I feel very comfortable with craftsmanship and quality of this product. Definitely a great investment.

Great design but not so easy to build on your own.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love it, the kids love it! It was a bit difficult to follow the instructions and sort through all the lumber and hardware when building yourself and some of the pre drilled pieces were drilled a bit off but overall with many hands and a good chunk of time we were able to get the job done and now enjoy this awesome play set!

Kids love it

Bought this in spring 2015, has held up really well. we have a 2& 4 year old they use the entire set except the monkey bars for now (too short to reach). we did buy separately a baby swing from Home Depot to sub for one of the swings for our smallest. This did take 2.5 days to assemble with 2-3 men working on it. We have a construction business so we are not building novices, and that why it's not getting 5 stars. Also our yard is not level ( and really whose is perfectly level?) we had to adapt the structure after market for that on our own, not hard but a few extra pieces of wood would have made the process easier.

Neat Fort

Overall, this sky fort is very good. The price and value are very reasonable compared to other similar manufactured forts. Customer service was exceptional. I called three times for missing parts and they provided them quickly at no cost. The instructions manual could be written clearer for easier installation ((one example the roof boards' direction is not clear and the side boards (put inside or outside) of the roof tops installation)) but I figured out my questions eventually. I wasted a couple of hours due the instruction manual not being clear. It took me a solid week to build. My grandson is thoroughly enjoying this fort and will continue enjoying it for a long time.

Love the playset. boxes came ripped and a mess!

Really love the play set, my grandsons are very excited. I was upset when it was delivered. The boxes came ripped open and a mess. I took pictures in case I had problems. Everything was there and I was glad we didn't have any problems. It is an awesome set.

All the reviews are correct; this is a time consuming project. We found it best to have one person reading the directions and getting the hardware together, while two other people did the actual assembly. I suggest a cordless drill with two batteries to be able to continue drilling pilot holes and putting in screws. We are very pleased with the purchase and find it to be great quality. We had to contact the manufacturer to replace one bag of incorrect hardware and send one more support bracket. Customer service was very nice and we got the replacement parts in a timely manner at no cost to us. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend and would recommend the assembly service if getting it put together in a hurry is a priority; otherwise it is a fun project to do together as a family.

Good set for good price

This is a good quality set for a good price. My only frustration is that the slide comes in multiple pieces that have to be put together. I am afraid that it may not be as durable because of this but it is working fine for my 2 year old at this time. The instructions over all are pretty good but can be frustrating at times. Took me and my wife about 20 hours to put together.
