Sky Fort is a Big Hit

We ordered Sky Fort for our grand children. We are soooo happy that we paid for installation. The crew started at 4:30 PM and didn't finish until 10:00 AM the next day. They did an incredible job. The play set is a big hit with our grand babies!!!

Great Playset

Wanted something to help get the kids out of the house more when the weather was nice. We live so far away from the closest park, so I wanted something close to home, so we got this play set. A neighbor and I put it together in a few afternoons and we had no problems. Once up, it looks really good and the kids really love it!

Plenty to do

This was a very time consuming project to put together which I knew because I read the reviews. It has a lot of pieces and they are not in the same boxes. I do not understand the method of madness when it comes to the packaging. The wood is cedar therefore it is expected to be soft (I seen comments that said it was cheap, not the case). This is a beautiful piece and very nice. Even though it was challenging to gather the pieces it was pretty cool to watch it all come together. You need a great deal of patience if you choose to complete this set. My kids are very happy and so am I. A great product.

For the family, but not family project.

Great swing set! The kids are loving. I wish the letters and numbers on the boards were bigger, and more easily visible. I am sure it’s not common, but I had issues with some boards not been marked or some that were were unreadable. \n\nThe app made so much easier to be able to put it together myself. But I definitely recommended having someone that works for a company to put it together, specially if you ran with issues like mine where some were not marked. I had to jumped some steps and go back after words to make sure I wasn’t using the wrong board. \n\nOnce the project it’s done. It’s sturdy and I have no issues or worries with the kids playing on it.

Perfect swingset

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This item was purchase 6 months ago. Other than taking a little bit of time to assemble, instruction were really clear and easy to follow steps. Perfect for the kids to spends hours outdoors in fresh air.

Great for small children!

We have had this playground since January of this year. It is a good playground for our 5 year old. Only bad thing is it's not sturdy enough for an 9 year old who weighs 55 lbs +/-. Whenever our oldest goes across the monkey bars the wood creaks and when she swings, the wood creaks and sags. That is why I didn't give it 5 stars. I wish we would have spent a little more money and got one a little more sturdy. Other than that, my 5 year old loves it. It is perfect for her and her friends.

Very well Built!!!!

It took us 15 hrs to get put together. We spent 4 of those hrs organizing the pieces. That is very important to take the time and lay the pieces out I suggest getting all the letters together then in order from a-z. Also organize your screws bolt, etc.. So that you can see the name really good. That was what took so long for us was lookin for the right pieces. Also pay very close attention to the directions! They are very vague, and hard to follow at times. Do not skip a step and I would highlight after each step you do in the book as well. Overall it is very well built and I feel safe letting my kids play on it. My 3 yr old is in love!

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!

Great swingset for multiple ages!

I have 3 children ranging from 2-11. They all play on it daily! The instructions for putting it together were really clear, it took us about 18 hours total to get it full assembled and the kids were able to help on many steps. Would definitely recommend Backyard Discovery!

Good playset

We have had the playset since april. The instructions are a joke, but everyone that has written a review warns you of that. Our set of directions had the windows on the wrong side!! My only compliant is the wood. We have several boards and beams already splintering. The main beam that holds the crow's nest and double glider is splitting!!! Not sure what the solution is going to be as you would have to dissamble the unit to replace. Overall, the kids have enjoyed the unit, but I fear it will not last more then a year or so. Big money to invest for a only a 1-3 year product.
