Great product for the price. Definatley alot some time for assembly and get a helping hand. I recommend sorting all wood by letter and doing a complete inventory of lumber. The bolts and bucket nuts tend to cross thread easily so start them by hand. Once assembled this thing is awesome. We have become the hit of the neighborhood among the kids which makes all the time building it worth it when you see them having a blast.

We have had the Skyfort II for a year now and it has been a blast for the kids. My 10 and 3 year old play on it everyday and it has held up wonderfully, very sturdy and still looks great. The instructions were very detailed for assembly as well. It was well worth the time we put in building it. Whenever their friends come over that is the first thing they go to. I am very pleased with my purchase.

We bought this two years ago and I have come back to say that we think it's the best purchase we ever made for our daughters! It provides hours and hours of fun and we are pleased with how it's holding up given the sometimes brutal winters we get here (I did add that waterproof sealant on it, as suggested.) As far as setting it up, I took the time to unpack the four boxes (which come to you packed in such a manner that's conducive to shipping, not at all to constructing your swing set!) and I laid them out according to the stamps on them so it would be far easier to locate piece number H22, for example. We ended up taking two full days to construct our swing set with two very competent, experienced men and me, the competent mama! Haha My dad took the time to ensure that the ground was level with his machinery before we even began construction so we had no issues whatsoever with pieces lining up. After the first day, I realized that having the hardware pre-packaged according to the step would speed up the process, so that evening I took the time to sort the necessary bits of hardware into Ziploc bags and label them so that the next day it was like night and day the speed at which we were able to move. I totally recommend laying all of your lumber out in an alphabetic fashion and doing the little Ziploc bags like I did. My parents plan to purchase the same set now that their grandkids are all starting to get at the age where they can play on this and they want to get the same set because of how happy we are with ours and the fact that we have the experience of building this exact model so we will have an easier time with putting it all together, I believe. When we purchased the set, our elder daughter was two years old and clearly could not use the monkey bars. We just made a gate and placed it in the opening for the monkey bar entrance so that we would not have to worry about her falling out of the upper level when she wanted to go down the slide. We also got a piece of plywood and a spare piece of wood and screw those together to block the monkey bar ladder until we feel like she is at an age where she can safely use that section. As for now, she has fun doing the monkey bars with Mom or Dad's help and baby sister is just loving her new swing that we got to add on.

This was a fun DIY project. The directions were very accurate and all the pieces fit together without having to make any afjustments. When they didn't work it was my fault. It's critical to note the orientation of each piece. The ultimate test- the grandkids won't stop playing on it!

We bought ours a few weeks ago and our kids love it! I highly recommend getting this one since it has both monkey bars and swings. Our cousins have the same one and their 11 year-old still uses the monkey bars and climbs in and out of the windows. The littles spend hours in the sandbox. Bonus: you can get trapeze rings to hang from the middle bars. Only downside is there isn't much room between swings so kids need to make sure hands are close to themselves. Also, don't attempt to build this yourself unless you're super handy and have another super handy person with you. It's well worth the time and money to hire out the assembly.

Great swingset. A lot of pieces and parts to put together and very time consuming. Make sure to pre drill holes so wood doesn't split and pay attention to the already pre drilled holes on boards as you assemble, the directions don't point this out very well and if you get a board backwards you will have to take it back apart and flip the board the correct way. All and all its a great value and seems like it will last!

We bought the fort for our grand kids because the parks were all closed down due to the Pandemic. Since the parks have opened back up the grand kids come over now more than ever!! They love the fort! If you can't be the cool Grandparents at least have the cool stuff! Which we do now!

We bought this for my 4 year old son after his first swing set blew over in a very strong storm. We are absolutely thrilled with this set and he has to room to grow into it. The anchors are excellent and I have no fear that it will fall over like that last one. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

We did a lot of research before purchasing this set, and we are very happy with it. We have 5 kids ages 2-9 and our oldest is about 5ft tall. We wanted something that kids of all ages could use that wouldn’t be too flimsy for lots of kids, and that our oldest could still use. This thing is sturdy! We replaced the middle bar thing with another swing. we often have 3 kids swinging on this at one time, and the set doesn’t move at all. My husband is 6’2” and can stand upright in the upstairs of the main tower. At the same time, I don’t feel like it is unsafe for our 2 year old. It did take quite some time to put together, but the sheer amount of bolts on this thing really gives me peace of mind.

I was told so many bad stories about the play sets and having to put them together so i was putting off starting on this till i had an army ready to help. Once we started i then relized i could have saved a lot of money on Pizza. lol with just having myself and one other to help. This system was very easy to read and install. It was a good feeling seeing my son see it for the first time.
