Final product is great but

After spending two long days assembling this behemoth I finally got it done and it looks great! The arm where the swings are could be just a foot longer and the swinging would be a lot safer. We were missing one piece of wood and maybe 10 pieces of hardware but they sent enough extra hardware to make it work. Very bulky and overly complicated design. It could definitely be redesigned to use a lot fewer different types of screws and bolts, seems like they’re trying to keep the installation companies empolyed by making it more complicated than it really needs to be. The wood is also quite light and thin and cracked in a few places during assembly. My kids love it though, and that’s the important thing.

Great swing set and would recommend to anyone.

Overall great swing set. It does take awhile to put together but well worth it! This is definitely something you would want to organize all the pieces, read and watch the video before starting anything. We did have a few pieces split on us but customer service was great and we’re getting replacements.

Great features for kids

Got this set 2 weeks ago, it took 1 person a week to ten days to put together. Take your time and lay all parts out first! It's better than the wait period for having assemblers come do it! The only negative I have is the swing side needs to be longer, the swings and glide are to close together for safety! Other than that kids love it! Great purchase on sale!

My boys love it!!

My boys range from 3-8 years old and they all love it! The slide is fast and they love going up to the crows nest! The swings are a bit close together, but other than that, everything has been great. We ended up trading one swing out for a trapeze bar.

Overall super pleased!

I have three kids 2, 10, & 12. The set is a little weaker than I had hoped in spots which makes the older kids a little nervous (even though they are under the weight limits) but I’m hoping in time they’ll feel more comfortable and safe. My 2 year old LOVES it, I didn’t think he was ever going to come off it! Overall a good purchase. We also bought the installation, i realize different crews for different areas, but ours was amazing!! Got here at 8 am and finished the whole thing in 7 hours! They were very skilled and knowledgeable but also super nice and courteous! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

All the kids loved it.

It definitely took some time to put together but if you download the app it has really good pictures and details to break it down easily. My only complaint is that it would have been nice if they were boxed in order of assembly. Best to double check every box with the provided inventory sheets and layout before you start anything. Outside of that all the kids love it.

I purchased this when they had a one day sale so assembly was included so that is why we got this one. I am not really impressed with the slide, it is a piece of plastic unrolled and fixed on a frame, not really liking the glider, it is a cheap on as well. But other than that seems good.

Great investment!

I bought this swing set a few weeks ago. It took my husband and father in law around 25-30 hours to assemble but it has been more than worth it! My kids (7 and 3) have already enjoyed many hours playing on it. They both agree it is the best Christmas present ever. Great quality and product!

Skyfort II

Our Skyfort II was shipped on schedule and included thorough directions and all needed parts/hardware (no parts were damaged or missing). With 2 people assembling (with modest experience-level) it took about 25 hours to assemble. We were impressed with the quality of this play set and anticipate that our kids will enjoy it for years to come!

Solid build!

Just finished putting this together with my father and friend. Took us 2.5 days. Spent hours organizing the parts in order of steps before starting construction - highly recommend doing that as the parts are all mixed up in boxes!! So far kids love it and it seems very solid and sturdy.
