This is the best investment ever and I tell every parent out there, if you don’t have one, you are missing out. We built this ourselves, it took us 3 days about 6 to 8 hours each, taking out time and pacing ourselves to do it perfect so it was safe for the kids. You could pay someone, but I tell you, they won’t do as good of a job, they’ll have a bunch of screws left in the end. With the app, it’s extremely easy to build, just takes some time to make sure everything is where it belongs. Quality is good, all the parts were there. The value for this playground is amazing, we shopped around and there is nothing this nice at this price. We are very happy with our purchase.

This is a really nice build. It does take some time and can be done by one person. So far I have spent about 8 hours on it, and I'm towards the end. I am thinking about adding a mini pergola to the top of the crows nest. The attached photo is showing it almost completed! There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I do have a few tips: 1 - Read the instructions! 2 - As you pull everything out, organize by letter, and then use those letters to organize each by number. Trust me, you'll thank me for all that OCD work. 3 - Take all hardware and lay it out separately on a large table. This will save TONS of time on your end when you have to look for 3-5 different bolt lengths that have the washer/t-nut. 4 - Not all pieces with the same letter and numbers are in the same box. There are four boxes, and yes, the slide is in sections inside the box. 5 - If it's cold outside, head indoors with your slide pieces. This will make the slide surface easier to bow into the slots. 6 - Go slow with the screws. The bolts and lag bolt are no biggie, but the screw you'll want to put in slowly, especially when you fastening into a thin width. 7 - Pay attention to the piece orientation. I know it can be hard because of the darkened print pieces currently on each step, but you'll notice holes that need to be in the right spot, or else you end up drilling holes mid process. Easy to do, but could have saved time on my end! 8 - When applying the T-Nuts into the wood, use a mallet and pop it in. This will make life lots easier! 9 - Be patient. This build is worth the patience for the price tag! 10 - Don't hesitate to reach out to customer service. I had 6 pieces that I needed replaced (not their fault - shipping's fault) and they were hands down amazing. It was free (except I wanted it fast, so I paid $15 to ship all my replacements in two days). GOOD LUCK!

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 review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a great playset and from a company with great and friendly customer service. I’m so glad to took the plunge and got the one we did! We are so close to done and my kids can’t stop talking about having their friends over to play on it. Definitely requires lots of organization, work, and time. There are a few instruction pages with misprints in the info, but it’s pretty easy to figure out.

My parents and I coordinated the purchase of the Skyfort II for my three kids (10, 7, and 5) this past Christmas. Best purchase ever. Even in less than great weather, my kids are clamoring to get outside. That’s right it’s 2023 and my kids want to be outside. My 10 year old is pushing 80 pounds and this equipment is holding firm under his weight on the swing. It’s held up against much larger kids as well. There is no or only barely noticeable twisting or buckling that I had seen on some of our earlier and cheaper play sets. It’s held me as I sat in the fort part of the structure without so much as a creaking of wood and I’m well over 200 pounds. I will say we did pay to have it professionally installed and it was worth it. My kids love it. My wife and I love it. Everyone that’s come to our house love it. I cannot recommend the Skyfort II highly enough.

This play set is an awesome feature of in our backyard. The play set has created a play ground gathering area for our neighborhood kids. It allows my wife and I some much needed free time to let our 2 boys 3 and 6 years old play while we relax around the patio watching them. The challenges I overcame was damaged packages on delivery, 14 missing or damaged parts, 3 hours to inventory with 3 men, 3 days of 10hrs w/ 3 men for 90 man hours to substantially complete the ground prep and installation. Expect to budget $1500 for labor and $1,000 for ground prep if you build it like I did. Customer service was very accommodating to send out replacement parts in 1 week. In the end it is well worth the effort. Time will tell if it holds up to the Florida weather.

My grand kids love this playset, although it has only been in service for 6 months it is holding up well. I stained and sealed all boards before assembly, an important step for full sealing of the wood. Also do the pre-inspection, I had some bad pieces of wood, which were promptly replaced with no hassle. I recommend taking your time with assembly as some pieces were difficult to orientate properly to get the pre-drilled holes lined up.

It took us about a week to put it together but we love it. My son really likes all of the features it has to offer. I think he will be able to play on this for years to come. We added a couple of after market things and aren't finished with everything (mulch and railroad ties), but you can see how nice it turned out. We love it!

We set this playset up while our children were out of the house to surprise them, needless to say they were VERY thrilled when they came home to this new playset! They played on it all day for 3 days in a row!! We will definitely need to coat it with some type of sealer to help it last longer, but overall we love this playset.

For the money, this set is outstanding, HUGE and beautiful. Our 3 kids love it (9,7 &4 yrs old) However there are a few "things".... the swings are too close together and the kids crash into each other AND the slide is just a little flimsy. There are several errors in the directions, but you can improvise pretty easily. As you get close to finishing some of the holes don't quite line up and you will have to drill new ones. Don't be intimidated by the size! A husband/wife team can do this in 3-5 days. Organize and alphabetize all the wood and parts first!! Borrow extra power drill from a neighbor and keep batteries charging.
