I purchased this around a month ago, and have been pleased with almost everything. I am still in final assembly as only can commit short time to build. First separating all the hardware and pieces into organized piles was best thing I did. That's hard to admit as I just wanted to jump into project but much smoother with all laid out. I would recommend when doing the second floor and above I see how important to put the bolts in place on level ground before installing on second floor. The next part I would recommend is some of the pilot holes aren't always as deep as you would want for the top level so please save yourself time and make sure you feel good about depth of holes. Also I have done this 90% solo but some areas it's just not safe so extra hands and a ladder can make process much smoother.

This app is absolutely awesome for building your structure! The ability to move and rotate the picture so you can see it from every angle s absolutely fantastic!!!!!!! It would have been so much harder to build the structure with just the paper book, especially because the paper instructions actually missed an entire section! The Skyfort 2 is also huge especially compared to our last play structure! It’s all around fantastic! I guess we’ll see what its longevity is like!

Its a great playset, except for the slide. All the other items/material are great quality but the slide is a cheap and flimsy that even for my 25lb child it squeezes in when she slides down. The slide also gets very hot. The directions were very easy to follow. We were not missing any pieces and looks very nice.

All of the pieces are labeled by letter and number. Before assembly we found it helpful to lay out all the pieces by number and letter. This package came in 4 boxes so it will take a day to get everything organized. It also helps to organize all the fasteners in order as well, keep all the fasteners in the packages and just use what you need for that step. The directions were pretty clear and we ended up with no left over wood and plenty of extra fasteners. We over drilled a few of the pilot holes to help stop the wood from splitting. But generally the fit and finish is really nice. It took my father and I two days, or about 30 hours of work to get it all done, not included the day I spent organizing everything by myself. Applying two coats of outdoor sealer to the whole thing took another day. So you are looking at about 4 working days between two people to get it all done.

Not a fast assembly but worth it. I hired an experienced installer so I could have it complete before summer's over. The 20 labor hour estimate may not include the prep needed before actual assembly. 1. Unbox and place all pieces in order by item number. 2. Re-label all nuts, bolts, screws, and washer bags with larger print to see from a distance. 3. Use the directions that come with the set. Online versions may not match.

Easy-to-follow instructions for installation. It takes two full days for a two-person crew to install, but the instructions are very simple to follow. The kids love the slide and monkey bars. The overall quality of each piece is great for residential use.

Bought this in May to replace our last swingset we'd had for 8 years. I needed an upgrade that would hopefully last 8+ years again and accommodate a wide age range of 13, 9, 7 and 4 as well as allow them to explore a variety of play. After months of looking this kept coming back as the best fit for our family. It's been officially “installed” for a few weeks and so far the kids have absolutely loved it. They each can use it however they want without being in each others space. They can have friends over and allow for numerous kids to play and most importantly my large 13 yr old can still utilize it without issue. The kids also love having the different “clubhouses.” I as an adult can still swing or use the monkey bars as well. The build process we did ourselves and it was challenging at times as two of the boards in one area didn't quite line up. I do feel the instructions could have been a little more clear and we probably shouldn't have tightened the different sections we built until the end as we had to go loosen some areas to accommodate other boards but the instructions provided through the free downloadable app were a bonus.

We're so glad we picked this swing set! We're very impressed with the quality of the materials and our kid is smitten. We're just happy to see him have such an awesome space of his own that beckons him to play outside. We have woods so we did do some grading and installed a platform for soft ground.

I'm not sure how this is going to hold up. Some of the boards are already splitting and we are not done putting it together. For the price I thought this would be better.

I chose this swing + set because of many reasons but some of the most important to me were the reviews from others that were very helpful, price/without added shipping, many extras that a 7-8 year old wants and just that I loved the look with the bay windows and lookout tower. Do sort the pieces and bag the hardware for each step. I had all the pieces with ours and it took two days 8 hours each to put together.
