Skyfort Playground 2
5 out of 5 stars review

Skyfort 2

We purchased this playground for Christmas this year and my kids have loved it. It definitely took longer than I expected to put together but the instructions and companion app were amazing. Every step was easily explained and labeled. I probably had as much fun building it as my kids have had playing on it.

Great instructions and labeled parts!

We were so glad to get the play structure. Delivery was wonderful they unloaded it and left it in our garage at my request since I was home. Each box had an inventory list and was very easy to unload and check off the inventory. Each piece was labeled nicely and the instructions were very well written. You could also follow along on your cell phone so we followed along in the instructions book as well as followed along on the online video it made putting the product together very clear! It took 2-4 of us about 2 days to assemble. Customer service was also outstanding!

Kids love it!

We got this playset for our 3 kids, ages 3,7 & 8 for Christmas 2018. It was a pain to put together. The easiest way is to go thru the directions and separate stuff into piles, the directions aren’t very good and it’s all unorganized the way it’s boxed up. Once you organize and separate, it gets easier to put together. It maybe took 1 1/2 months to get together working several random hrs here and there. Also due to bad weather, lots of snow & rain there was even more delay.

Beautiful Play Set

This is a nice set and the price is good, but it is not an easy build. There are 4 boxes in the order and each box has its own parts list. Open the boxes one at a time and confirm all the parts in the box before going on to another box. The manual is uneven in quality. Some parts have holes in them that have to be oriented a certain way. Make sure you have the pieces oriented properly before attaching them. You want to get this level both vertically and horizontally. Make sure you have things leveled and squared before securing the fasteners. When you are done expect to use at least 3 gallons of wood preservative the first time you apply wood preservative - I would also recommend getting the best preservative you can buy. I did this mostly by myself and it took me about 45 hours. Emptying the boxes, sorting the parts and confirming them against the parts list took several hours. Some things you absolutely need help with. If you assemble this correctly you will be happy with it. Just make sure you are up for the task. You need to be patient and take time to confirm what you are doing. Keep all the fasteners in their original bags. There are lots of different sizes of fasteners and boards.

Hours of Fun

We bought the skyfort 11 for my granddaughters. We no longer have to get in the car and go to a crowd park. The girls and their friends can play in the backyard for hours. Both girls had backyard birthday parties and this set got as much use as the bounce house.

Kids love it!

So far we are very happy with this swingset, and the kids love it. It is a good size with all the play things including swings, rockwall, slide, monkey bars, playhouse, sandbox, picnic table, and of course the sky fort (although the telescope doesn't have any magnification). Our kids are only 2 and 4, so they have many years to grow into it, and it seems sturdy enough to last through the years. It is pretty big with high platforms, so we can't actually let the kids play by themselves yet - especially the opening by the money bars is quite high and it will still be a while before our 4 year old will be big enough to manage those. It took 2 days to build with 3 handy guys (although there were lots of breaks since it was a HOT weekend). We did have a piece of wood split during assembly since there was a knot right where a screw needed to go, but it looks likes we're being sent a replacement. It's not solid wood, but still seems very well made and should withstand the kids and the weather (we also don't get too harsh of winters here with a lot of snow). Overall, we are very happy with the swingset and value for money - Sam's also had the best price by a couple hundred dollars.

GREAT PRODUCT

I just finished the assembly. With about 26-28 hours from opening the first box I completed it by myself. There are some parts that would be helpful to have two people but I managed alone. My son has been on it ever since I finished it. The directions are about 95% accurate with some things having to be interpreted by looking at pictures but nothing so bad to cause an issue with assembly. If you want a great play set this is it.

Will keep kids busy for hours and days!

We bought ours a few weeks ago and our kids love it! I highly recommend getting this one since it has both monkey bars and swings. Our cousins have the same one and their 11 year-old still uses the monkey bars and climbs in and out of the windows. The littles spend hours in the sandbox. Bonus: you can get trapeze rings to hang from the middle bars. Only downside is there isn't much room between swings so kids need to make sure hands are close to themselves. Also, don't attempt to build this yourself unless you're super handy and have another super handy person with you. It's well worth the time and money to hire out the assembly.

Backyard Discovery Skyfort

I just bought this and we are so happy with it so far! It seems very sturdy. I looked through multiple sets before I decided because I wanted something my kids could play on now but also grow with and last for years and I think this set will definitely meet my expectations.

Awesome Structure

We purchased this for our 7 and 2 year old and have not been disappointed! This structure is definitely large enough to entertain and challenge our seven-year-old. As well as enjoyable by our two-year-old. Tracking shipment was a breeze. Assembly was fairly smooth. Take the time to sort the pieces and hardware and it will be much smoother. We had no issues with cracking wood as long as we used the predrilled Pilot holes. Overall this has been a wonderful investment and anyone who comes to play at our house now has their eye on one also. It sells itself.
