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.

super happy

overall really impressed. stained it and put together in a few days with a helper. Sturdy as heck and kids love it. Bought the child swing seat too and was a great choice. Tons of extra screws at the end but everything is solid as can be. Slide is super fast for a 2 year old

Easy setup. Kids love it!!!

Have had the set for about 2 months now. My kids absolutely love it and play on it daily. The setup between the app and the manual made this a very easy setup!! Lay out everything before hand and you will have this set assembled in no time. If you are trying to speed up your set up time, have two groups of people set up. One group starts in the base of the main structure and the other group starts on the rock wall, steps, etc.

Satisfied

For the most part we are very satisified with the timeliness of the delivery, the quality of the product and the assembly directions. What we were not happy with was some of the missing screws that we had to replace on our own. In one instance I was told at Lowe's that these are specialty screws, bolts, etc. made specifially for the play set so we had to improvise. That was a hassle.

Great set for the money

This swingset is excellent for the money. It is well built and my son loves to play on it. As previous people have stated, definitely inventory prior to setting it up. We had a number of damaged or missing items, but customer service was fantastic with replacements. We did have an issue with delivery, which was clearly not Sam's fault, but the delivery people were ridiculous. They lost our first order, and claimed it was delivered when we never received it. Then they tried to claim that they were only going to drop the items curbside and not place in garage. These are boxes that weigh over 100lbs, and I have a 300 foot driveway. I called Sam's right away and they handled it and straightened it out for me! That is great member service. This set does take a while to put together, but the instructions are very well laid out. To make the building process go smoother, we arranged all the materials by item number and not by page number. I would definitely recommend this swingset to neighbors and friends

Worth The Money

We just purchased this playground for our kids. I felt it was way too expensive to have the company build it for us, so my husband and I built it together. I would give it a 5 star, but the way it was packaged made me give it a 3 star. It would be a whole lot easier if the pieces were packaged by the steps. Instead of having a packaging list and having to dig through all 4 boxes trying to find each piece, it's way too time consuming. Took us 4 days to complete. But once it was built I felt it was well worth the money, very nice and our kids truly enjoy it.

The Start of a Life Time of Fun

My kids were super excited to see the playset for the first time this week and have already started creating new memories. The playset design and structure are well made and I had no issues with the playset being installed. I absolutely would purchase this playset again and I can't wait to enjoy it everyday with my kids!

Great Product

This is very time consuming took me about 24 hrs but well worth it very easy to put together just pay attention to detail we were missing a few parts but they overnight them to you no problem overall my kids love it and they have been outside everyday since its been up there is a lot of measuring and drilling holes so be prepared for that.

Great features

After an extensive review of swing sets the backyard sky fort 2 seemed to have the best reviews and best fit for our daughter and also reasonably priced. We are very pleased with it and our 2 1/2 yo daughter loves her new swingset. We had a company put it together for us and they had it done in 1 day. Everything seems solid enough... after a couple of weeks we’ve noticed a few of the boards warping, some cracked or starting “peeling". We were never made aware that you have to apply a sealant on it. Had we known this it could’ve been avoided. We did contact backyard and they shipped out replacements boards. Other than this, we would recommend this swingset. It has a great variety of stuff to play on!

Perfect playground
5 out of 5 stars review

Sturdy

We bought this a year ago and have enjoyed having our own playground in our backyard! The kids (4&7) love the lookout and the rock wall. It’s perfect for picnics, playing store, and even bring in pillows for lounging. Very sturdy as well. My husband assembled in less than 2 weeks.
