so far so good

This was delivered 1 week after we ordered it! Wow!! it said like 3-4 weeks.. The delivery company was awesome! He even dropped it off in the back yard! it doesn't look like it would all make a giant playground being that it's only in 4 boxes but well see.. Its raining again today so I have to wait for a dry day to build it...pretty cool SAMs Club. Price here was definitely the best.

Screws broke in 7 months

This is a great play house. Love it and very glad I bought it. However, after 7 months the boards fell off the rock climb. I took out every single screw and replaced it with quality deck screws. About half the ones I removed were broke in half. After only 7 months! I haven’t messed with the other screws in the whole set, I’m scared to find out.

Wonderful Swing-set!

We bought this for my 4 year old son after his first swing set blew over in a very strong storm. We are absolutely thrilled with this set and he has to room to grow into it. The anchors are excellent and I have no fear that it will fall over like that last one. I would highly recommend this to anyone!

waiting game

Our swing set is to arrive today, yay! We can't wait! The only problem is waiting for installation! I just called and its almost a month wait. The operator was very nice and wrote notes that we needed it by a certain day. Arrrggg, can't wait to have it already :)

Has lots of features

I bought Skyfort 2 about 2 months ago. Four huge boxes came on time. Nuts and bolts are excellent, lumber can be a little thicker. Otherwise, took me and my friend 4 to build it. It took one day to unpack and sort the lumber. For the price we got in Sams club this playset has lots of different features like monkey bars that you would not find on most playsets. If built right it is very strong and stands well on the ground. The fort is nice too. So far three kids used and abused it and it stands. I will not stain it the first year but will do it all other years. It is a good product for the price.

Great Features

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.

Still very happy with purchase.

My wife and I bought this a year ago for our 3 kids, ages between 5 and 8. We spent about 30 hours assembling (60 man hours) and are moderately skilled. Instructions are straight forward, all parts included. Some of the biggest time consuming was digging through boxes looking for specific pieces of wood. The boxes are pretty heavy (there were 4 for us) so drop it as close as you can to where you plan to work. The first 5 or 6 hours were assembling things relatively small so we were able to do this in our garage. Was able to use a tall bar stool instead of a step ladder. Only fought once which is better than normal for projects for us, so would consider this low stress.

Excellent Purchase

We had looked a long time for a reasonably price swing set with all of the features we wanted. I am so glad we picked this one. There are A LOT of pieces but as long as you follow the directions step by step it is an easy assembly! The kids love it and we couldn't be happier with our purchase.

Some disappointments!

There were a few things that we were pretty unhappy with! My husband is a carpenter, so It was constructed professionally, however almost immediately several boards came off as the kids were playing, the window inserts have come off, and the swings are too close together, if for whatever reason one of the kids starts going a bit sideways they hit Eachother! The swing bench also can not be used if the swing next to it is in use, for there is a high risk of bumping into the person next to you!

Big enough to grow into, attractive design.

Our daughter is 3 and she has new twin sisters. We wanted something she could use today, but would be fun for all three and their friends as they grow. The Skyfort II is nails this aspect of development! There is plenty she can already do, from the sand box, picnic table, swings, slide, and crow's nest (amazing!). There are also a few enticing challenges like the climbing wall and monkey bars that she will grow into. It is also attractive. I cannot express how important that is. Why ruin your backyard with a hideous monstrosity? Sure, it's for the kids, but that doesn't mean is has to be an eyesore. As they continue to grow our house will definitely be the place to be!
