Awesome PlayGround

Purchased this to replace a very old swingset for our grandkids. The assembly was long and tedious but the instructions were spot on. The online app was very helpful at times to assist with some clarity. Had an issue with a part and it was shipped to me right away. It was helpful to lay out the parts by number so that they were easy to find. I bought the anchors and rubber pieces to hold playground in place and keep the wood off the ground - I highly recommend doing this.

Kids love it!

Overall we love our swing set! We had it installed by our handyman. It took 2 men about 2 whole days to put together Some of the wood split or cracked which needs to be sanded down, but I’m not sure if that’s a quality issue or an install issue. That being said, the swing set is extremely sturdy! We put a baby swing in the middle instead of the trapeze bar. We have had 3 kids (7,4,2) swinging at once and the swing set doesn’t move at all. Our cautious 2 year old is still nervous to climb the stairs but the stairs have a hand rail on both sides to make it easy to climb. The slide is wicked fast and a little anxiety producing, but it doesn’t seem to bother the kids at all. The monkey bars provide a good challenge and are a feature our kids will grow into. We are pleased so far and hope it last for many more years.

happy daddy

We searched and searched for a playset for our three girls and once we found the Skyfort we were shocked at the price and quality compared to everything else. Stop your search right now and buy the Skyfort! Its a long process to assemble but well worth it...and it helps that the instructions are detailed, but not complicated. By the way, the same playset is sold online by Cabellas....but $500 MORE in price!!! GO SC!!!

Awesome product

My kids 8, 5 and 1 all play together on the swing set every day. It took awhile to put together but was well worth it. We did seal everything with a silicone sealer before we put it together, top rating for this product after months of research at multiple price points!

Fantastic Play Set, Highly Recommended

We ordered this play set two weeks ago and my three kids are already using it. We ordered it on a Thursday night, and had it in my garage on Monday afternoon. This is a fantastic play set for the money and we are so glad after our research, we made the right decision and went with the Sky Fort. My kids are 10, 7, & 7 and it is great for them. Took us 2 long days with 3 guys to put together, so know that up front. Organize the parts and alphabetize the boards before you start working and you will save a TON of time. Amazon has a great review with helpful solutions to follow, but purchase from SAMs, way less $$$. If you are going to pay $1,000 - $3,000 on a play set, go for the Sky Fort. It is a can't miss.

Probably the best value playset out there

Great value. All pieces were there except the slide mount. One piece was mis labeled but other than that this set rocks. I sort of expected it to be worse than it was assembling. As long as you have 2 or 3 free days and use the bilt app you will be fine. Took 2 ten hour days with me and my brother (one hour break on first day). Plenty of hardware in case you lose some. Make sure you have two drills so 2 people can work at once, and lay out all the pieces firat thing before you build (only took an hour to do). This playset is built pretty well and is massive, I think its probably the best value out there.

Worth The Money

We just purchased this playground for our kids. I felt it was way too expensive to have the company build it for us, so my husband and I built it together. I would give it a 5 star, but the way it was packaged made me give it a 3 star. It would be a whole lot easier if the pieces were packaged by the steps. Instead of having a packaging list and having to dig through all 4 boxes trying to find each piece, it's way too time consuming. Took us 4 days to complete. But once it was built I felt it was well worth the money, very nice and our kids truly enjoy it.

Kids Love it!!!!

We bought the swing set for our 7 and 9 year old children. They love the fort and it is big enough for them and a couple of friends. The slide is a good size too!!! It is a well built swing set. One Con is it really takes a long time to put together.

Great playset with a few minor gripes.

We have had this playset for about a year and it is holding up well. There are many different activities and it can easily entertain 5-6 kids without them running into each other. I love the crows nest, but our kids don't go up there yet, but the slide and swings are a big hit. The climbing wall, ladder and monkey bars make me a little nervous because our kids are still small, but even our not quite 2 year old navigates the ladder well, and our not quite four year old fly up the climbing wall with ease. Assembly was a major task, but the directions are adequate if not great and you will get there if you inventory the parts and take a measured approach. I have some concerns about long term look and durability, as some of the boards seem a little thin for some of the stresses they endure (kids swinging on them, running and jumping on them), and the finish is also not great and is starting to show wood underneath already. However, until these become major issues rather than just speculative concerns, I am fine.

Kids love it

I bought this playset a year ago and my kids enjoy it. My only complaints to date is the telescope on the lookout portion broke early on and even though I sealed the wood it is already drying out. All in all I think it's a good value for the price point.
