Kids Love it!!!!

We bought the swing set for our 7 and 9 year old children. They love the fort and it is big enough for them and a couple of friends. The slide is a good size too!!! It is a well built swing set. One Con is it really takes a long time to put together.

Great Product For The Price

Unless you have all the time in the world, hire a professional to build this. I was amazed at how many parts that could cram into 4 boxes. It took a team of three about 16 hours to put this together and they build these things every day. The finished product looks amazing and my 5 year old son loves it!

Excellent Set

I bought this set last December as a Christmas present for my two boy, and it's been wonderful. Building it when the snow is starting to fall is a very bad idea, as you want to take your time and pay close attention to the instructions (near LEGO quality). My only issues have been with broken screws since it's seen the summer sun. Higher quality screws would significantly increase the cost, so I'm not bothered replacing the few the snapped.

Great Product

Our kids are loving this playset. It is larger than I thought it would be. A couple of things could be improved. First, the slide is a wavy slide. It is not a smooth ride for anyone over 4! A straight slide would be better. Second, some of the smaller screws for attatching the triangle plates were too short and we replaced them. Make sure you set aside lots of time to assemble this. It took us two Saturdays with 2-4 adults. its not an easy project although we thought the directions were accurate and easy to follow.

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!

Just what we wanted!

We bought this a year ago and our kids are now 4 and 7. It was pretty time-consuming to assemble (it took 2 of us about a week, not including site prep which we did ahead of time), but all the pieces fit and were good quality, and it was often satisfying to work on. Our kids love it. It has great features both for smaller kids (our littlest was 3 when we finished it) and has room for the kids to keep growing into it (our biggest loves the monkey bars). It's so cute to see the sibling love when they swing on the double swing together. It has provided hours of fun for our kids, including during our 7-year-old's backyard birthday party. It has everything the kids could imagine for a playground and as an adult, I think it looks good in our woodland backyard as well (no obnoxious colors). I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

Great play set!

Product arrived in 4 large heavy boxes. Took 2 full days to put together. Only complaint with building the play set was some instruction pages were very vague and didn't specify which way to put boards until a few pages later, so there was a lot of backtracking. Which is why I gave this a 4 star rating. Will need a minimum of 2 people to put this together. Other than that it is a great play set and my kids love it. Would definitely recommend this play set and/or brand to others!

Great playset

We bought this last year for our grandkids. It was easy to assemble with excellent instructions. Unfortunately it was not anchored properly and blew over during a terrible storm. Your company was great to send the replacement parts needed at very little cost. Now it is secure and the kids love it! The quality of the playset is excellent.

Awsome!

This swingset is awsome! I looked high and low for the perfect swingset. I didn't want anything that was cheap and made of cheap material that would only last a year or so but I also didn't want to spent $5,000-10,000. The SkyFort is very sturdy and has plenty of activities. The only thing I didn't like was that you have to step in the sandbox to get to the play area underneath. However, two year olds don't need to play in sand anyway - it'll get in their eyes, ears and mouth - so I also bought the wooden floor to cover the sandbox and have more of a play area. I contemplated getting some help to put this thing together myself but after I inventoried all the boxes and saw just how many pieces there were...I changed my mind! I paid the $$$ through Sam's to have someone install it. He and a helper started at 8 am and by 6 pm they were done! We hope to have the swingset for a long time so I have water sealed it and put a safety zone around it. It is fabulous!

Wonderful addition to the backyard!

My wife and I bought this for our 2 year old son and I assembled it myself. Assembly was straightforward and overall good quality. The screws for the deck board seemed cheap since several of them broke after installation. I just replaced the damaged or broken screws with exterior deck screws and haven’t had problems since. I would highly recommend utilizing both installation guide and app BILT for assembly. Our son absolutely loves the swing set and this was well worth it. Competitive pricing and great quality.
