Good Quality Material. My husband built it pretty much by himself with a little help from my 13 yr. old son. It took 2 1/2 days to complete. That included leveling the ground that the play set was to be put on. All material were well marked and the instructions were well thought out. He said that the only real problem he had was with the 3/4" truss head bolts and their barrel nuts he had to add more 5/16 washers in order to make them tighten down. He agreed with previous reviews about laying out all the material before building, it made it a lot easier to assemble. I have 5 kids 3 of which are at and under the age of 3. They love the play set and were very excited as they saw it go together. Delivery was fast we got in about 5 days after I ordered it. I would recommend this play set to a friend.

My wife and I bought this for our 2 year old son and I assembled it myself. Assembly was straightforward and overall good quality. The screws for the deck board seemed cheap since several of them broke after installation. I just replaced the damaged or broken screws with exterior deck screws and haven’t had problems since. I would highly recommend utilizing both installation guide and app BILT for assembly. Our son absolutely loves the swing set and this was well worth it. Competitive pricing and great quality.

We bought this from SAM’s. Delivery went smoothly & on time. We used the BILT app to assemble making it so much easier….don’t throw the book bcz it is very helpful as well. Make sure you take your time and follow instructions. My husband decided to work ahead without me and he doesn’t pay attention to detail and the deck of the crows nest got narrowed up by about 1/16”, I took the deck apart and redid it. After that I would not let him do anything with out both being there. We are not carpenters so check work twice to prevent screw ups. Other than that it is pretty easy as long as you follow instructions. Took us about 22 hrs spread out over 2 weekends. My kids love it! My youngest had her eye on this playset at Sam’s for about a yr and wouldn’t consider anything else and in her words. It’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of. Many hrs on this already and it’s only been up 2 weeks. You will not be disappointed. From crows nest, clubhouse fort down to the sandbox and picnic table and all the extras there is so so many features with this one at a very good price.

Wood seems a bit weak and many pieces slightly damaged. Directions better than most and pieces labelled with stamps (bought one once that had stickers that had come off all the wood pieces) and boxes each had individual inventory pages wihich really helped. Last one from company lasted 7 years and that is with only weatherproofing it twice in that time. Hopefully this one lasts 7 years too.

Very impressed with the detail that was put into this product. Each board was numbered, drilled and cut to perfection. Each hardware bag was stamped and easy to read. Nothing missing. Yes, it did take 2 workers 2 1/2 days to put together but it is well worth it. Tools included worked just fine. We did cheat and use drill motors to put the bolts in though. Every time i see my grandson playing on it (even in the rain), all i can do is smile and know we picked the right set.

We've searched for months for the perfect swingset for this Christmas. It was just completed today & I had to get on here to say the picture does not do this thing justice! I really wish they'd show a full 360 view b/c we were pleasantly surprised by the 2 sides w/bay windows. My husband & brother who are 6' tall stood up in the clubhouse w/ample room to maneuver. My husband and I comfortably walked around in it while putting together (& we're not small people) and got to saw how sturdy this thing is. Now we just put a tarp over it for the kids not to see until Christmas so I can't give a review as to how it holds out through the yrs (Lord knows I'd def forget to write over time). The wood is treated but the company did recommend you put a water sealant when you get it & YEARLY to make it last. If you don't take care of it, it will waste away much quicker. Also, be sure to take inventory of the pcs beforehand. This took us 2 1/2 hrs (w/8 pages of parts) but we knew they can overnight us anything that was missing. They had everything in our package plus more. Our telescope was cracked but the company did send a new one right away & we didn't have to send the old one or anything. With 2 men, it took about 20 hrs (3 days for us). Now we just have to try to wait for Christmas morning to see their faces!

The Skyfort II so far has been an excellent purchase! For the price, there is a lot for kids to do: Swings, monkey bars, lookout tower, etc. We did have a few broken pieces, but Backyard Discovery’s support was phenomenal! We recommend this set for any friends who have the space. It’s a no-brainer!

I read all the previous reviews before I purchased this product and everyone was spot on. It does take a LONG time to assemble but the directions are amazing and very easy to follow. It is even better once you get a little way into the project as it definitely gets easier and quicker to finish steps. I would definitely suggest to sort out and inventory all the contents of the boxes before starting. It is very helpful to have one person gather wood and sort the hardware while another person supervisors and one or two people actually do the work. This will consolidate the amount of days you must work in order to complete the playset.

We bought this as a Christmas present for our boys. They love it and play on it everyday. The picnic table is great and offers a nice spot to eat an outdoor snack/lunch. Some of the wood pieces may need to be sent back, or have replacements provided, but overall everything was good. Plan on taking your time to construct and MAKE SURE YOU HAVE POWER TOOLS!!!

In the end a great playset with very good quality hardware. Took 20 hours over three days for one person to assemble with help only when needed. They would get 5 stars, if the pieces weren’t scattered randomly though out the 4 large boxes. Literally step one is building the ladder. I had to open all 4 boxes to find the parts needed. Could be packaged more thoughtfully.
