Awesome set! Highly recommend to anyone searching for a great swing set for a cheap price. Our set has great cedar pieces, no cracks or warped boards. I saw that there were a few reviews complaining about the instructions but never experienced any issues. Never had to reassemble. There are a lot pieces so it does take some time, we had two guys working on the clubhouse and a third guy putting together the other, monkey bars, swings, ladder ect. It took Saturday and Sunday, about 16-18 hours total to finish set. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and now that it's all done and put together my husband feels the same way. The kids (and neighborhood kids) absolutely love it!!

Can't say enough great things about this playset!! Friends and neighbors, just love this thing :) We got the additional floor set, and it's the nicest play-set I've seen around. Backyard Discovery is one of the best companies to work with. Customer service is EXCELLENT, A++++ . Whether it's replacement pieces, add-ons, or shipping questions, I definitely thing they make the grade. Would definitely buy from again. ASSEMBLY TIPS - Make sure you organize all wooden pieces 1st. I would recommend organizing nuts/bolts into separate small boxes as well (I had about 8). You will need an additional friend to help you when putting up the big swing/monkey bar beams, and probably the roof panels.

We bought the Skyfort II set at Xmas 2019 for our then 2yro. Who knew that just around the corner all public parks and playgrounds would be closing. We assembled the set, my little one helped with his plastic tools, at the end of January. This set was more of a life saver than we ever could have imagined when we made the purchase. We have since added some accessories from the BYD site to add to his entertainment options. Nothing short of hours of fun for my little one. I am a bit old school and used the paper directions to assemble. At 36 yro, it took me 2 full weekends to assemble alone. I have no complaints though.

We bought this play set for our daughter's birthday and she absolutely LOVES it! It has fantastic features that are great for all ages and will not let your little ones grow bored. The quality of this set is exceptionally built and the design of it gives you the most play area for the space. HIGHLY recommended to anyone who has children that love to play outside!

Have had the set for about 2 months now. My kids absolutely love it and play on it daily. The setup between the app and the manual made this a very easy setup!! Lay out everything before hand and you will have this set assembled in no time. If you are trying to speed up your set up time, have two groups of people set up. One group starts in the base of the main structure and the other group starts on the rock wall, steps, etc.

I'm somewhat experienced with woodworking and it took me about 2 weeks by myself working sun up to sun down to build it. I would recommend someone gathering the needed pieces per page and bringing them to the work area as getting up and down for me proved tiring (Pieces can be in any one of the 4 boxes that are shipped). I would also strongly recommend ensuring the ground is level before starting the project, and predrill anything larger than the woodscrews as the wood tends to split easily. To have this built by others would have cost around $800 when all said and done. I take great pride in knowing I did it myself. I learned a lot. Playset is descent quality and worth the money. Monkey bars are too high for my 5 year old to use (though that's the first place she wants to go).

This set was a great choice for my active boys! The glider is great for those who can't swing properly yet but I would suggest ordering the bucket seat for those under 4. My husband who is a skilled craftsman, put this together in about 60 hours with 6 hours of help from another neighbor. The key to this is defintely organization. You need to have everything laid out and make sure you read the instructions carefully. Most people would need 2 fairly skilled people to do this over the course of 2-3 weekends! All in all, we are thrilled to have this quality set in our yard!!

This was a great purchase because I've tracked it for a couple years now and waited for the product to go on sale. I have two boys under age 5 and another child on the way so I am expecting to maximize this playground's use. I opted to put the playground together rather than paying to have it put together for me. It wasn't too difficult but I do have some helpers that should make your life easier if you choose this route. First, pull all the lumber and hardware out of the boxes and organize by their labeled number. Take your time here because it will make it faster to find each piece during the build. Next, have an impact drill or purchase one. This is a must. Have a couple backup batteries handy so you can continue working. Finally, pay extra attention to the direction of some of the lumber and the pilot holes that are pre-drilled. Several times I had to turn boards around which slowed me down. It took me and a friend about 12 good hours to complete so take your time. Now that the build is over I can say that I am very happy with the playground. It seems sturdy and well built and so far my boys love it! My only complaint is some of the hardware is either exact amounts or even short in amount but the company will ship anything you need but that's annoying when your in the moment. So, you may have to hit the hardware store for a few bolts or screws.

The set is still in construction but for the most part everything looks great. We did have a problem with the swing horizontal timber being cracked but customer service was great and they are shipping a replacement.

Took 2 men 18 hours to put together. My son in law said that if each section was in it's own box it would have been much easier. Markings were very small. But the kids love it.
