We bought this for our 2 daughters for Christmas and couldn't be any happier with our decision to buy the Skyfort. I researched MANY different swing sets and chose this one based on the price, all of the activities on this set and the reviews. Hopefully my review will help many as some of the other reviews helped us... Our set arrived Tuesday and that night my husband and I made an inventory of all parts. We were only missing the 1in Wood Screws and instead of call CS we just decided to go to Lowes so that we would have them in time to complete for Christmas since we didn't know how long CS would take to get them here. A $5 buy wasn't a big deal to us to ensure it would be completed when we needed it complete. On Wednesday we took the advice of some other reviewers and separated all hardware into tupperware bowls and labeled and oraganized all wood according to letter. My husband took off work on Thursday and Friday to start the project to make sure we had time to finish by Christmas. It was snowing here Thursday and he worked in the snow to get it started. He worked for about 6 hours. Friday he worked about 7 hours, Saturday about 8 and Sunday about 6. By Sunday afternoon he was done with everything but attaching the slide, the rock climbing wall and hanging the swings. We have sheets covering our back door and windows but since our daughters are little and don't really understand Santa and/or what it is if it doesn't have the slide and swings decided to wait until Christmas Eve when they are asleep to finish it just as a precaution in case they happen to see it before. The holes are all predrilled and hooks ready for swings so about 30 mins left. There were a couple of mistakes in the instuctions about what size screws to use but my husband figured it all out. My hubby said the was to organize hardware and wood and that helped him to go faster and smoother. He did write a list step by step from the book with all the materials needed to complete that step so it went faster. The preparations were time comsuming (writing out steps with materials, inventory and organization) took about 8 hours but cut down on assembly time. Total time inventory to finish for us about 36 hours. I helped inverntory and organize but my hubby built entire thing by himself. If someone has some sense of what they are doing it isn't bad. We are so far pleased. The materials are sturdy and we hope are girls are as happy with it as we are. Our 11 year old son can't wait to play on his sister's "castle". Even he thinks it is GREAT!!Good luck and trust me...it is well worth the price :D

Important to line out all parts and fasteners in order, even if it takes a few hours. Went together very well, step by step. I would consider assembling the crows nest completely on ground first. Bolts 090 or 091 may have been mis-labeled, but no biggie. I used ratchet straps to put the slide together by myself, and to keep the frame square during assembly. I hammered in 3' metal post to use for anchors due to high winds in my area. Intend to use green labeled Thompson Water Seal to spray on. This took me 5 days to casually assemble by myself.

We bought this in early May and my husband and I who have knowledge of tools, but are by no means handy. We got it built and it has been used everyday. Our daughter was wanting one for 18 months and when she saw this one, she was in love. She plays in the clubhouse and loves the swings. Our backyard has never been so busy. It is everything it needs to be and we love that it is big enough to make her happy in the future.

We bought this for our son's 4th birthday and he has loved it! Friends and cousins come over and play on it all the time. It is perfect for our 15 month old daughter (we added a baby swing) and all the way up to my 10 year old nephew. The installation crew also was amazing. It would've taken us months to install and it took them a day!

My complaints are of the adult kind, so read the whole thing. I bought this a year ago and there are already signs of wear. For the price I expected a more sturdy product. The wood is a cheap type of pine it bends while the children are playing on it. I have a 4 and 2.5 year old and when they are up in the sky fort part it is umsturdy. I have a 12 yo niece and she said she was afraid the floor was going to break under her feet. When she got on the monkey bars the wood creaked and bent she thought that would break too. Adults should not get in this house. So if you enjoy playing with your children this not the play set for you. I would have spent the money on a play set that has better quality materials . Otherwise a good product because the kids like it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Big hit with family, especially little ones who love all the features. Teenagers & adults within weight limits love the Skyfort as well! Bought a baby swing to swap out when our family babies come to visit so everyone gets to enjoy it 😁

Great little play area. The kids love it and the quality seems great. The design did not overlook a single detail to have a great looking and functional structure. The instructions said two moderately skilled adult 36 hours. It took us four full days to complete the assembly. Most of the pieces were well marked and matched up with the detailed instructions, but there were a few spots in the instructions that were not clear. For the most part, it was pretty good for assembly.

The grandkids LOVE this thing. The whole thing was packaged very well. I did have to make a modification to part SP50; the holes at the top were on the wrong side. It only took a few days to assemble, but, would have taken longer if I did not have the “bilt” app to help. I would definitely recommend this swing set!!

So, this swingset is HUGE! BUT, it is awesome. The kids are loving it. It took 2 weekends for me to put it together, basically by myself. The wife assisted some. The key is, you definitely have to separate everything out prior to Step one!! I had 50 piles of different pieces of wood. only 3 boards were not stamped well. But I figured out where they went fairly easy. It's a lot of work, but we sure like it. My only gripe really is the shipping method is awful! It came via LTL shipment and they were not prepared for the size and weight and the single pallet weighing close to 1000 pounds was poorley made. We got it off the truck with the drivers cheesey pallet dolley and between the two of us, got it to the front of the house.

I think this was a great buy. The customer service was top notch, I had some boards that cracked when I was screwing them in and I called the number in the manual and they sent replacements no questions asked free of charge. Came in a few days. The wood is of good quality and looks great once it is all put together.
