Kids love it

For the money, you can’t beat this swing set. I’ve looked at tons of sets and nothing else compares. The club house is big enough for me to fit in with both kids. Crows nest is a nice bonus. As long as you maintain this set with the proper stain and sanding when needed it will last for sure. We ordered this with installation and it took two days to build. Kids absolutely love it. We we’re going to go with a high end company that specializes in swing sets and happy we didn’t. It would of been half the size for the same amount of money.

Great Addition to the outdoor experience

We bought this for the summer last year for our kids and they absolutely love it. They use it every day they can. It’s always a focal point especially when their friends come over for a play date. It’s keeps them entertained and adds a great look to the yard!

A great addition to the backyard

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very nice looking. It did take about 15 hours to sort all of the parts/bolts with each step and about 30 hours to put together. The app was very helpful as it could 3-D the part and show how to attach to the main structure when the paper book could not. The swings are a little close together so we took one down.

Love it!!!

My husband just put this together for our two kids, 8 and 3. Took him about 5 days by himself to organize everything and build. We weren’t in a hurry so he took his time and built it right! Our kids love the FAST slide and the monkey bars! The rock wall is a plus too. The swings are something they could do for hours!!!

My son loves his new swing set!

I purchased this set online after looking at several that Sam's had to offer. This one had great reviews and I can see why! We had Sam's install it for us as well. It was $500 but SO worth it. It took ONE man 10 hours to have it put together. He was here as scheduled at 6:45 am. He was very nice and we couldn't have been more pleased. It saved us a lot of time and hassle by having paid to have it installed. Would highly recommend this set AND the install.

Great Swing project

The Skyfort kit makes a very sturdy swing set. Take the time to do a complete inventory before starting the project. We were short 1 board and had one split board. The company had the boards to us in two days. Put all the hardware in plainly labeled bags or containers. Read the instructions through before starting, then read a couple of steps ahead before assembling the one you are on so you will know what goes next and how it fits. It took us 4 hours to inventory and blue tape boards and four days to build it. We had 3 cordless drills and used them all constantly. We tightned most bolts and lag screws by hand to prevent crushing wood. When finished it is very sturdy and the kids love it. My wife and I built it for grandkids at their house, and we are not pros, so you can do it!

9.5 Kids Approve!

I bought this set because it had all the things I wanted (a fort, monkey bars, rock wall, and several swings). It wasn't scheduled to arrive until next week but I was beyond estatic when it arrived early! My husband worked on it a little after work (because I have 4 under 5) and, due to some lingering light, i helped after kids went to bed we had it up in a week. not bad concidering it was essentially 1 person putting it together. Piece of advise would be to sort the pieces as you open the boxes, they are in there any kind of way and don't assume that all of 1 piece is in the same box. My husband tried to jump on it but I hadn't had a chance to sort it out yet and it was kind of a cluster. BUT I sorted it all out and got everything back on track during nap times so we were good to go on day 3 (was a saturday so 1st full day of work). Once you start getting it together and the pieces are orgnaized it really doesn't take that long and goes together smoothly. Also, pay very close attention to the instructions. My husband actually preferred the book to some app he found because apparently they didn't give the exact measurements of spacing and the alignment of the holes. In the long run, I had 5 10 yos, 8yo, 5yo, 4yo, 3yo, 1yo playing on it during a birthday party today and it held up beautifully and they all seemed to have an amazing time. I may end up getting some more boards to close up the other bottom of the picnic area because I really am NOT feeling sand or try to find some other cool use for it... maybe a childs hammock... but GREAT PURCHASE!

well worth the time and effort for the price.

Exellent playset took a few days to put together. Doughter love's it.easy to follow instructions.i recommend openingall the boxes and laying out all the wood buy steps it made it so much easier than having to dig through the boxs as you are trying to put set together.

Perfect for us

We love this play set. It is sturdy, the company had great customer support, directions were easy to follow. The hardest part for us was to create a level area to build. We took the following advice and it was helpful: - Inventory all boxes when they arrive. The company two-day mails any broken/ missing pieces via their website. - Double coat all pieces with water sealant before building (it took almost 4 gallons.) - Layout out all boards alphabetically to make them easier to find as you build. - Build the first steps on very level ground, like a deck. Then move this box structure into place when directed. - My husband built the main frame in order while I built things that are independent, like the climbing wall, ladder, money bars, swing A-frame... - The picnic table must be built in the structure, but note that it was one of the more difficult steps. - We also put the top window towards the front like the promotional picture and not like the instructions - a very simple switch.

Super fun

This is gigantic and awesome. I was a little hesitant that it would look ridiculous in our yard due to its size but it is not as ostentatious as I thought. It is well made, smells like cedar still two months later, and is a wonderful play set for my kiddo.
