We bought this online and had it shipped. Upon receiving, I took inventory of everything in each box with the included parts list. It made it a lot easier to have everything laid out when building. The instructions were easy to follow which was very nice. Be extra careful to match the pilot holes with what's on the pictures. The two issues we ran into were with improperly drilled pilot holes and some missing hardware. Once we figured out the pilot holes were wrong (especially on B5), we just measured and drilled them out ourselves. We ended up running to the local hardware store for the lags and bolts that were missing here and there just so we could get everything finished. Now that it's done, it looks beautiful and the kids love it!

When we decided that we wanted to purchase a playground for our children we didn't know where to begin. When we did finally decide to purchase went with the Skyfort II, our only concern was when the carrier left one of our 5 cases containing our slide somewhere and we didn't get our slide for 4 weeks after the other 4 cases. trying to deal with The retailer we got it from was a nightmare but Backyeard Discovery stepped in and made it happen, Thank you very much. This is an amazing playground thank you Backyard Discovery for building an amazing product.

We bought this for our 3 sons (ages6, 2 and 6 months), they all absolutely love it, the older two more than the baby! There is plenty of room for our kids, plus their friends to play. We also added our infant swing from our old set, but with the glider and swing there is plenty of places for all the kids to swing. The estimated 20 hours for assembly was accurate, it would not have taken as long if the directions would have been clearer. There were a few times that we had to look ahead in the directions. We also had to take things apart and put them back together again. My husband is very handy, so that also helped. It also helped that we organized the wood and hardware before we started so that everything was easy to locate. I have since talked to another mother who bought a smaller set and now wishes that she had bought the skyfort too. It is a great set for the money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this for our daughters 2nd birthday and she loves it! We feel good knowing the set is safe and amazing quality and love watching her imagination run fold in her own little playground. Looking forward to having this set for many many years! 10/10 would buy again!

My wife and I bought this around 3 months ago and we JUST were able to finish it (we have 2 small kids, 2 dogs and we both work). We finally just got it done last week and our kids love it. The wood pieces are pretty sturdy and it’s a really beautiful set once it’s completed. My wife and I had so much fun building it. Some screws and bolts were tricky to get in, but if you’ve built anything before you should be able to handle it just fine as it comes with great instructions in the paper copy as well as in the phone app. There are some discrepancies between the two though, I found, so I’d suggest sticking with one or the other (I used the paper copy, call me old-fashioned). I had to put a few of my own screws into some of the thinner boards as I finished and found some screws coming loose. Just some 1” screws will do the trick. I recommend having some on hand. All in all, this is a great play set! And we can’t wait to see our kid’s build memories on what we built with our hands.

Bought this for my kids right before shutdowns happened and it has been great. My kids now have their own backyard playground. We're out almost every day (minus rainy days). My littlest loves the swings and my oldest loves climbing up in the "clubhouse". The best part is that I can kick back on the deck and simply tell them to go play. My husband and I enjoyed the time building it together, though be warned: some of the directions can be unclear (measurements would help for some of the steps). Make sure you have all the tools. We followed other suggestions to lay out all the pieces first; we did ours in alphabetical order and that made it super easy to find the parts you needed. Super appreciated that the price included taxes and shipping, so you don't have to worry about adding hundreds of dollars on top of the price. All in all, it looks great, my kids love it, and it provides lots of play opportunities for them.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this in June for our grandkids and they absolutely love it! When they’re not climbing and swinging, they’re hanging out in the clubhouse up top or at the picnic table. It is a beautiful addition to our yard as well. We’ve gotten so many compliments on how it’s such a nice-looking swingset. It took us a couple of weekends to assemble - we had all the parts laid out and organized on the ground beforehand. In the evenings when we’re out back sitting on our patio it’s almost like a centerpiece in the yard against the sky. It’s big enough to where our grandkids and the neighbor kids can enjoy it all at once, and it’s held up pretty good so far. It’s been a great investment!

I purchased the Skyfort a few months ago. I used the BILT app for the install and it took me (by myself) 3 days to put it together. Recommend organizing all the parts alphabetically and numerically before starting. It was simple to install just a lot of steps. The kids love it. Recommended it to my brother and he bought one too!

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!!

We just purchased this and have had it up a week. So far the kids have really enjoyed it. I do have a couple of complaints; the spacing in between swings is a little tight. So far no crashes, but for the $1400 I paid, they could've given it 8 more inches. The board feels a little cheaper, but it doesn't shake and seems to hold up well with my 3, 6 and 9yr old. The color, wow, pumpkin orange. Hopefully it'll fade over time because it's an eye sore. The slide seems cheap as its not a solid piece, but again, no kiddie complaints. I hired a friend and it took 2 men 11hrs one day and one man finished it up in about 4hrs the next day. MUCH faster than anticipated. I was concerned about the high tower, but the sides are plenty tall so there will be no accidents. The swings and monkey bars seem very sturdy. Not sure if I would purchase this again, but it's not for me. The kids love it and that's what counts.
