Excellent product

The Sky Fort came in just a few days which was a surprise. I found a man that had a business putting together items like this and it took him and a partner all day---but they did a nice job and the structure is amazing!!(I think it would be overwhelming for someone without construction experience??) My 3 and 5 year grandsons love it. It was a little scary at first because its so much bigger than their current little plastic swing set. But they are having a blast now. I really like the glider for the little guy---he can get it going all by himself! It is well made, sturdy and looks great in the yard.

Bigger than expected!!!

Came in 4 big boxes, really surprised all that fit inside these long boxes. Quality is okay wish some areas where a little bit more reinforced with thicker wood. Would definitely recommend professional installation. Our 2 yr old loves this play set we basically have our own park in the back yard and she will get at least another 10 yrs of use out of it.

My Daughter Loves the Swingset

My daughter has been spending hours playing on her swing set. It was very difficult to put together. I did not receive all the correct pieces and had to add some extra pieces to make the little picnic table work out. There were several pieces that were cracked/broken. Even though it was a hassle my daughter loves the swing set.

Excellent Play Structure!!

We bought the Skyfort II play structure for our 4 year old daughter 6 months ago. It arrived quickly and came with easy to comprehend instructions. We are not builders so it took us a little longer to put together than advertised but we did it!!! Our daughter plays on this everyday. It is very sturdy and has features that she will continue to use for years to come. I would highly recommend purchasing this play structure for you family.

So much fun!

I chose this swingset because it has a glider, a 5 ft deck and a swing beam higher than 7'. My kids love playing on it and even my 10 year old will play pirate with his little sisters because the crows nest is pretty awesome. The slide feels flimsy but its fun and does not get hot in the sun. The monkey bars are set a bit high, but the kids do not seem to be deterred. My only disappointment is that the swings are set too close together and the kids have bumped on occasion, which lessens the fun of the set. An extra few inches would have made a world of a difference.

Took a while to put together, and was missing about 20 screws of the same size, so replacing them from Lowes was easy. Instructions was a little vague in spots but otherwise pretty good. Kids love it. Just make sure when you start, that you have it square and level, it'll make the assembly a lot smoother.

It looks good

The delivery was fast from date of purchase. The directions are a bit overwhelming. At times they are not clear ( such as which way the holes go, and how certain pieces fit together) and you don't realize it until you are putting it together. It will take 2 adults to put it together if not 3. My best advice is when you are putting it together go through the book and see which pieces fit together so you know which way the pre-drilled holes go on certain pieces. Even better advice pay someone else to put it together . Not all our pieces where In the correct boxes as it stated in the directions, but we did have everything. Which can be frustrating. It is a good buy, and the kids love it.

Sturdy, Fun & Looks Good

Our kids have enjoyed this playset so much. My husband had no trouble putting it together by himself with the BILT app. It did take a while but it was worth it! We appreciate how sturdy our playset is and an extra bonus it looks good, too. Not an eyesore! We definitely recommend this product!

Very well built, kids love the crow's nest

This set is HUGE. That's not a bad thing but however large you believe it is, it's bigger. The kids are loving the monkey bars and of course the crow's nest. Assembly wise, it's not too terrible but don't be surprised if you spend a couple of weekends on this. I was able to assemble it myself, the only really challenging part was the crows nest. You're really got to make sure that thing is squared otherwise when going to mount over the swings, you'll find yourself disassembling and reassembling the floor. I would absolutely recommend using the BILT app as a supplement to the paper instructions. Being able to zoom around to identify the location of pre-drilled holes that could not be seen on paper was extremely helpful for board placement. All in all, it's a great playset and kids are extremely happy to have it.

5-star review

This Skyfort is wonderful and quite solid. This 68-year-old grandma put it together with only a little help. It took me a week though. I finished it on Saturday, and my 3 and 6-year-old grandchildren loved it. Their joy was short lived, though, because a massive storm with high winds swept through Dallas on Sunday and uprooted a huge tree that fell on the entire playhouse and crushed it. It was completed less than 24 hours. All of us are devastated but grateful that the Skyfort kept the tree from landing on the house. My children and grandchildren are safe, albeit without gas and electricity for probably several days. This is hard to explain to two little ones. I’m not sure what we’ll do next. Even if I can figure out how to buy this playhouse again, I don’t live in Dallas and don’t know when I could put another one together. Maybe we’ll figure it out. Two crying grandchildren are rather motivating. But thanks for this interactive BILT software. I loved it.
