Tomorrow I should finally be done building this monstrosity after working on it for about a month primarily by myself with my wife helping from time to time. Inventoried everything up front with a few minor issues that were resolved quickly by the manufacturer. Took 2 days to seal it with Olympic sealant which was recommended to me at local harware store. Now that I am near completion I have bordered it with some timbers and purchased a large quantity of rubber mulch through SAMs Club which I will use tomorrow.. All said and done I would do it again instead of paying someone as if you have not built something like this before you will learn alot about your abilities. If you don't have the time or the addional labor of a friend or family member full time then the install is a great value as well. There also are some great blogs online which I did not read during the build process but wish I did ahead of times they may save you some time along the way.

This swingset is awsome! I looked high and low for the perfect swingset. I didn't want anything that was cheap and made of cheap material that would only last a year or so but I also didn't want to spent $5,000-10,000. The SkyFort is very sturdy and has plenty of activities. The only thing I didn't like was that you have to step in the sandbox to get to the play area underneath. However, two year olds don't need to play in sand anyway - it'll get in their eyes, ears and mouth - so I also bought the wooden floor to cover the sandbox and have more of a play area. I contemplated getting some help to put this thing together myself but after I inventoried all the boxes and saw just how many pieces there were...I changed my mind! I paid the $$$ through Sam's to have someone install it. He and a helper started at 8 am and by 6 pm they were done! We hope to have the swingset for a long time so I have water sealed it and put a safety zone around it. It is fabulous!

We were looking to buy a swingset this spring anyway, and with the unexpected shelter in place orders from the coronavirus, this has been a lifesaver! Our three kids (ages 7, 6, 3) play with this nearly every day - it's challenging enough for the 7 year old but has routes, like the ladder, that the three year old can use. We opted for installation and when there was an issue with the slide the day after installation, they came right back out the next day and fixed it. Would highly recommend.

So far this play set is great! We made sure we had all the parts accounted for and all the correct tools before we started. We opened every box and placed all the matching pieces together. After that we got to work. It took us 16 hours from start to finish with 3 moderately skilled people, meaning my husband, my brother and myself. We made sure we followed the directions word for word and they were very easy to follow. You have to be patient and follow the instructions word for word.

We bought the swing set for our 7 and 9 year old children. They love the fort and it is big enough for them and a couple of friends. The slide is a good size too!!! It is a well built swing set. One Con is it really takes a long time to put together.

overall really impressed. stained it and put together in a few days with a helper. Sturdy as heck and kids love it. Bought the child swing seat too and was a great choice. Tons of extra screws at the end but everything is solid as can be. Slide is super fast for a 2 year old

We bought this play set last fall and have used it almost daily. We love the features, the picnic table and the crows nest. All of our friends children come to play at our house. This play set will last us for many, many more years. We paid for someone else to assemble it and I must say that was the right choice.

This product is made for little ones but its fairly sturdy, and its a really nice play set. My Granddaughter loves it. The only problems I had with it was the assembly directions were not clear enough, IE: detailing front, back. right side, left side etc. I also found myself a few parts short on some items, and had to make unneeded trips to the hardware store. Overall I like it because my granddaughter likes it.

We purchased this playground for Christmas this year and my kids have loved it. It definitely took longer than I expected to put together but the instructions and companion app were amazing. Every step was easily explained and labeled. I probably had as much fun building it as my kids have had playing on it.

We purchased this set over a year ago and it has been well loved by my four children as well as the many kids on our street. We would highly recommend this set. We did have a few minor issues on inspection early this Spring and the company stood by the warranty without hesitation and we had our replacement piece within a couple days at our front door.
