Best Bang For The Buck!

After looking at other reviews concerning this Skyfort ll Play Set, I followed the lead of a very detailed and lengthy review with step by step instructions. This is a credit to my success with assembling this set. It took about 23 hours of actual assembly time, not including parts inventory. We assembled and built the Skyfort ll off site under a shelter and set the unit in its' final place with a front end loader. Then, all we had to do then is attach all the accessories assembled prior. Kids are having a ball with this unit! GET YOU ONE!

My kids LOVE the Skyfort II

The swing set came in 4 well packaged boxes. The instructions were very easy to follow. Took 7 days to install it myself with no assistance. I strongly recommend you seal the cedar as soon as you complete the installation. The kids love this one. About to purchase their pergola for the adults to enjoy.

Good product for the money

This kit came in quickly and was delivered in good shape. All parts were there and many extras too. Parts are will marked but you may need to use all the instruction booklets as they all have different images and enlargements and instructions which are helpful. Wood quality is OK, the crows nest floor is too thin and flexes too much. adding additional support would be helpful. The seats on the sandbox area are too thin and both split when attached and bow under the weight of an average 5 year old. Swings are a little close together but functional. Overall pleased with the set.

Nice Set, Lumber Questionable

The number of hours to build the playset is about 20 hours x 2 contractor skilled men. Overall, we like the playset, however, the lumber is thin, leaving us question how long before certain parts of the playset will break. It is something a diligent person will take care of before it becomes a problem and completely breaks down. It is obvious that the lumber and hardware were skimped to save cost in manufacturing parts.

Perfect size

This playset is the perfect size for my 14 to and my 6 yo to be able to play on. Not too small. Only problem we have come across is that the slide isnt the best quality. The part they slide on gets screwed into the sides and there are plastic flimsy rods for support. With wear and tear, this will be the first thing we will have to replace. Would prefer a solid plastic slide for quality. Other than that, the kids love it.

Love it!

I purchased the play set a few months ago and we have absolutely loved it! It was kind of a booger to put together but it has been definitely worth the money and time! The kiddos have spent hours on it. The first morning they wanted to eat breakfast outside on the picnic table as soon as they woke up and I thought surely they would want to come in after awhile but no! The first day they played on it for 6 hours straight! (They even ate lunch on the picnic table!) Definitely would do it all over again!

Time consuming but worth it

Took about a week working on and off after work and weekends to get it built. Laying out the peices next to the boxes worked well since directions will refer to part which is listed by box on inventory list. Happy with quality of product. Kids love it.

best for small kids

I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the materials and have a feeling the boards wont last long. The slide is so flimsy that the metal part under your butt will bend and pop as the kids go down. Best for small kids under 80lbs. Also, the instruction manuel just have photo diagrams but no written instructions along with the diagrams. I guess most men don't like to ready instruction (sort of like how they don't like to ask for directions).

Skyfort II Wooden Swing Set

Webpage is very friendly and easy to use; shipping was delayed due to COVID but the delivery was very good, the crew came and left the boxes out of our garage. Instructions were fairly easy to follow, some can be actually improved with some preparation prior to assemblying some parts (such as "tighten AB screws and leave them for step x..."). Some parts came with some splinters we had to take care and there were some wood panels that tend to break while thightening the screws; some nuts were defective and couple of joints slipped so we ran out of a particular screw and nut. Ordered those thorugh the website chat and staff was super friendly, replacement came promptly in couple of days. I would buy another product. We really like the features included in this set, very complete and fair against the price, and we really like the customer attention.

So many features!

We love our new Skyfort II - there are lots of fun features (our 3yo has created a circuit/ obstacle course because of so many options) and it is a handsome edition to our backyard! I recommend using the app for assembly - it makes it easier to see the correct placement of boards for predrilled holes (position matters!!) and for part numbers (vs. screw/bolt sizes).
