Love this playset!

We bought this for our son's 4th birthday and he has loved it! Friends and cousins come over and play on it all the time. It is perfect for our 15 month old daughter (we added a baby swing) and all the way up to my 10 year old nephew. The installation crew also was amazing. It would've taken us months to install and it took them a day!

A great investment for the kids to play

Love this product, great for the kids and instructions make it easy to put together. Ordered this product online and delivery was fast. Speedy deliver was a great benefit giving me time sooner to assemble in time for decent weather for the kids to play. Would recommend to anyone. Priced great compared to comparable products.

Great for middle aged kids

Ours girls are 7 and 9 and are rowdy, so we were looking for a play set that could last them a few years and withstand how hard they play. They LOVE the monkey bars (in my opinion it's the best feature of this playhouse because kids love them so much). This set has so many different things to offer and my husband was a huge fan of the interactive set up instructions (instead of the normal paper with very little description). Shipping was great and the price was very comparable to a lot of other "lesser" rated models from other places. Will be repeat customers for other products from Backyard Discoveries!

PERFECT Christmas Present

We bought this for our 2 daughters for Christmas and couldn't be any happier with our decision to buy the Skyfort. I researched MANY different swing sets and chose this one based on the price, all of the activities on this set and the reviews. Hopefully my review will help many as some of the other reviews helped us... Our set arrived Tuesday and that night my husband and I made an inventory of all parts. We were only missing the 1in Wood Screws and instead of call CS we just decided to go to Lowes so that we would have them in time to complete for Christmas since we didn't know how long CS would take to get them here. A $5 buy wasn't a big deal to us to ensure it would be completed when we needed it complete. On Wednesday we took the advice of some other reviewers and separated all hardware into tupperware bowls and labeled and oraganized all wood according to letter. My husband took off work on Thursday and Friday to start the project to make sure we had time to finish by Christmas. It was snowing here Thursday and he worked in the snow to get it started. He worked for about 6 hours. Friday he worked about 7 hours, Saturday about 8 and Sunday about 6. By Sunday afternoon he was done with everything but attaching the slide, the rock climbing wall and hanging the swings. We have sheets covering our back door and windows but since our daughters are little and don't really understand Santa and/or what it is if it doesn't have the slide and swings decided to wait until Christmas Eve when they are asleep to finish it just as a precaution in case they happen to see it before. The holes are all predrilled and hooks ready for swings so about 30 mins left. There were a couple of mistakes in the instuctions about what size screws to use but my husband figured it all out. My hubby said the was to organize hardware and wood and that helped him to go faster and smoother. He did write a list step by step from the book with all the materials needed to complete that step so it went faster. The preparations were time comsuming (writing out steps with materials, inventory and organization) took about 8 hours but cut down on assembly time. Total time inventory to finish for us about 36 hours. I helped inverntory and organize but my hubby built entire thing by himself. If someone has some sense of what they are doing it isn't bad. We are so far pleased. The materials are sturdy and we hope are girls are as happy with it as we are. Our 11 year old son can't wait to play on his sister's "castle". Even he thinks it is GREAT!!Good luck and trust me...it is well worth the price :D

Fun fun fun!

It took my husband and father 3 days to put this together about 25 hours total. The set came with a million pieces which I think the company should've orangized better. Overall it's a huge Playsets that I know my son will have lots of fun with especially during this pandemic and for future years to come.

Legos for grown ups

I put this together by myself in about 26 hours. I am a builder/trim carpenter so I certainly had an advantage, but the directions were great and all the parts and pieces were there and clearly labelled. Some advice though: 1.) I spent about 3 hours unpacking and organizing everything in my garage. I highly recommend sorting all the wood by letter (each board is stamped). Also, I dumped out 2 large screw storage boxes and used them for organizing the fasteners. Cutting the label off the bag and sticking it over the corresponding compartment helped a lot! 2.) start in a garage if you have one. But don't forget to move it out before it's too heavy (or too tall) 3.) there are a lot of small pilot holes and varying hole patterns on the wood pieces, be sure to orient therm correctly or you'll be forced to rebuild or measure and drill your own. That's it, it really was pretty easy, just follow the directions and you'll be fine. It's like Legos for grown ups; I actually had a lot of fun building it.

Great Value

The quality of the product is great. The only complaint I have is that you had to open all 4 boxes and the parts were in random boxes for step 1 to finish. A few hours could have been shaved if steps 1-xx were all in the same box then xx-yy... The instructions were good. The delivery was awesome - I didnt have to load up the trailer and go 50 miles to town to get it and then 50 miles home with it.

Great Purchase

I bought this to replace a smaller swing set. It took five adults about two days to assemble. Had a great "family" time while working on the new set. I purchased this set to allow my oldest grandchild (13) to play with her younger brother and cousins. The grandchildren wanted to play on it while we were doing the assembly. Had no problems with the assembly. Laid out all parts, separated the parts then assembled each section according to the instructions. The instructions were straight forward and easy to follow. Loved by all.

Wood issues

The wood absorbed a lot of moisture before the playset was fully assembled. This resulted in many warped pieces and not being able to fit all the pieces in designated spots. Wish higher quality weatherproof wood was used. Definitely need to waterseal it.

Great Product

I purchased this product and planned to work on it during Spring Break. It came in 4 boxes and each weighed about 200 lbs. The instructions says to have two people available to put it together, but I was able to do it by my self with a little help from my six year old. I found the instructions to be simple to understand and everything worked as planned. It did take me longer than I had planned to put it together, but it wasn't hard to do. Two pieces came broken in the box so I registered on their website and inserted the part number and the parts arrived a couple days later free of charge no questions asked. My child loves the play set so far and has played on it every day.
