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.

I bought this in May for my daughter’s birthday. Big 3, and so far it’s still under construction but will be finished soon. I would say it does need additional information on which way some of the wood pieces go. Especially on some that look alike. I’ve caught myself having to redo and unscrew pieces because it goes on the opposite end. As well as turning the piece around 180. Other than this, it does have many features other sets do not have. Would love to come back and update my review with photos.

We bought this play set last fall and have used it almost daily. We love the features, the picnic table and the crows nest. All of our friends children come to play at our house. This play set will last us for many, many more years. We paid for someone else to assemble it and I must say that was the right choice.

Biggest play set in the neighborhood. All the kids come to our house for the monkey bars and sandbox. It was pretty hard to put together but overall we are very happy with it and it was worth the time to set up. We installed half in our garage and moved to the yard. Moving required PVC pipe that we used as a conveyer belt system and it worked well. We wish there was more room between swinging items as its hard for kids to get off when others are swinging

If you plan on building this by yourself, follow the instructions and pay close attention to them, but be prepared ad lib if necessary. Lay everything out sorted by part numbers before building. The majority of this thing can be built by 1 person, and can be done over the course if multiple days a few hours at a time. Be sure to have a good power drill, and a good Phillip's screwdriver bit, and a 5/16" and a 7/16" drill bit.

we bought this for our 3 year old daughter. And she loves it. It was challenging for mom and dad to put together but within 3 days it was done! The excitement our daughter had made it worth the struggles to put together. We had to use the app and the direction manual to put it together, neither worked by itself. It seems to be a very sturdy playhouse swing set. Children and adults have been able to swing on it with no problems.

This wasn't that difficult to put together. It was only me (female) and my dad who did it. I put the roof on by myself. I say that to show how lighweight the panels are. I was also qble to get onto thr overlook and put it together (I weigh 190 lbs). The wood flexed, but never gave out. The wood is cheap, but we put it all together and it has held up.cwe will see how it holds up, staked down, with it being in spring in Texas.

Synopsis I purchased this play fort for my 6, 4 and 2 year old (boy, boy, girl). They immediately interacted with all of the components and our 4 year old learned to do the monkey bars within minutes. Assembly I knew it was going to take time, and with excited youngsters watching it being built only seems to add to the time to assemble. Overall it took 2 days. The first day was a 6 hour shift with 5 guys. Day 2 was only 3 of us for 8 hours. If I were to build this again I would recommend a crew of 4: 1 person reading the instructions, 1 parts collector and 2 builders. Everyone can keep a steady pace and its easy to rotate a builder and collector out and keep moving. Value Of all the play forts that I looked for; online, walmart, menards, lowes, home depot, etc. This fort had the most options for the price. It also looked half way decent which wasn't a requirement but a nice perk. The entire think is built solid yet it flexes where it needs to flex. It is a quality product and well worth the investment. Additional notes The crows nest gets a lot of use because the kids like to be up high and look out at things. We have a wooded lot and they can see right into the woods which they think is the best thing in the world. Final Quote It took some time as I knew it would. It is well worth the time and money spent because I know it will last. If you are looking for THE play area, this is it. LBENED02

We purchased the Sky Fort II for our grand kids. It is advertised as being made of cedar. It is NOT CEDAR. It is a white wood painted a cedar color. A little disappointed as we might have chosen a different product had we known. We are worried this wood won't hold up well.

We tried purchasing playset last year, but all the ones that we were interested in were sold out. I’m so glad we waited for this one. It includes all the features we were looking for and has something for both our 4 and 1.5 year old with room to grow. I expect the 4 year old can enjoy this for another 6+ years. My husband read many reviews before purchasing this and was a little concerned about the comments regarding confusing instructions. He is happy that we went with this one and has said multiple times that he doesn’t agree with those reviews. Yes, it took us close to 20 hours to put together, but the instructions were clear and easy to follow. We had no issues with missing or broken pieces.
