Brings the playground to your back yard.

Wonderful piece of equipment. Built it primarily myself with limited assistance from a second pair of hands. The expected build time is generous, but it is a big project. The instructions weren’t always the most obvious but you’ll figure it out. Brings the playground to your back yard.

Sky Fort 2

This play set is awesome! The construction was a big, time consuming effort, but the directions were good, and the end result is impressive. It’s actually a lot nicer than I thought it would be based on the pictures. It’s roomy inside the fort. My daughter loves the glider swing. Make sure you have all the required tools including 3/8 and 3/16 drill bits, level, etc. plus a ladder. Sorting all the pieces ahead of time makes it a lot easier to find the needed parts. The BILT app really helped with better understanding some of the steps.

Great Product

I bought this a month ago, read directions, unpacked and had it completely assembled by myself in 12.5 hours total. Main thing to keep in mind is to keep all your fasteners in the package they come in so you can locate pcs. as they are called out per page/assembly. Extremely well spelled out directions if you follow them exactly.....key word... "exactly"....you follow the directions and have an incling of construction/common sense building wise you can succeed in assembling this playground in one weekend.

My Kids Love It

Easy purchase and delivery experience. My only suggestion for improvement would be to package the material in each box according to the assembly instructions. I had to open ALL the boxes to start working, which required scattering pieces over a wide area. Not the end of the world, but it would make for a more pleasant assembly experience. Otherwise, assembly was very easy and the directions were excellent.

Fun to play, terrible to build

My kids absolutely love the playset. Putting it together was a completely different story. To be fair, I am not a handyman or anything close. However; my father, myself and my son put this together in a weekend. The instructions need to be done in color and have better explanation/pictures of orientation of the boards. We ended up having to go backwards at least 3 times because the instructions were not very clear on orientation of a board. With that said, The kids love it and it seems to be very sturdy and looks great in the backyard. We added a sandpit to the base of the unit for the kids.

Great play set

Bought this several weeks ago! Lots of room for all the kids. The slide is a bit cheap. Overall a great system, a bit pricey. Paid extra for installation, the installers broke a piece. Had sharp screws poking through the wood and had to point this out to be fixed. Took 2 days to completely assemble, a bit longer than we wanted to wait. We had the swing set at our house for 10 days before someone would be here to assemble it

Well built and worth every penny!

We purchased the Skyfort II about three weeks ago. It arrived on time and as promised. Even though the boxes had some damage, there were no damaged parts. This was due to the excellent packaging. I read the reviews about how long it takes to assemble and was a bit concerned with how long it would take. I was prepared to take my time and several weekends to assemble it. I spent an afternoon unpacking and organizing the parts. As stated by others, this is a must! On Friday night after work, I began the assembly. By Sunday afternoon, we were playing on our new playset! If I had one critique it would be the markings on the pieces. Some were not stamped very well and I had to guess what part number they were. It wasn't a big deal using the process of elimination on the individual parts lists (each box has it's own). You definitely need a partner to help assemble the Skyfort. My dad and I consider ourselves pretty handy and were able to get it done in two days (and an afternoon of just me). Spend a little time before you dive into assembly to familiarize yourself with the parts and hardware. It will pay off during the build! I am very impressed with how well built and thought out the Skyfort is. There were some pretty smart people who designed this thing.....it takes some time but it goes together easily and is very, very sturdy. If you are looking for a quality playground which will last for years, don't hesitate. You will be pleased with the Skyfort II! Our family could not be happier with it.

Be prepared for a lot of work

This is a great play set. Boxes are organized and comes with an app to help. My husband put this up BY HIMSELF. One person. And he completed it in one week. Said Hallelujah when it was done lol (side note, he works full time and worked on this in his free time. 2 guys or more and it would be done in a weekend) Watch youtube videos for tips

A lot of work, but worth it

The Skyfort II is nice, when put together it is smaller than I thought it would be. My grandson loves it, however his pepaw did not like how each section was in different boxes all separate. It took him and my son 8 days to put it together. It is best to lay out each box separately to let the pieces be easier to find.

HAPPY GRANDKIDS

The play set arrived on time and in good condition. We had it assembled by some guys who water no time but it took longer than expected. Got expensive. The set is larger than expected which was a pleasant surprise. Hope it holds up to the weather and abuse of grandkids.
