Bought the playground, was delivered in about a week. Came with 4 flat boxes. Never would imagine that the whole set will fit in there. It took my husband and 1 more person 5 days to put it together ! Sometimes it was days they worked from the morning to the sunset.. it was overwhelming. But going by the book pretty easy to follow the instructions. We are planning to paint it to prolong the life of the wood. Also agree with previous review about the swings being very close and sometimes our kids bump into each other! The slide... is another minus.. it’s very cheap thing, that is made from many details. Hard to slide and Our kids already broke it a few times, the tubes that hold it falls down and not steady (it’s not heavy peace that you would see at commercial playgrounds).

I built this thing by myself. Went together quite well. The kids love it. Took about 20 hours. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is the slide. The one that comes with it is a piece of junk. The plastic was warped when I opened the box, which leads to the plastic insert unseating itself every so often.

Awesome set, my 5 year old grandson loves it and so do his friends. No missing pieces, all wood and screws were there. I paid for the assembly and it was professionally completed in one day. Two boards were cracked while being installed by paid installer and we will be sending photos today to Backyard Discovery asking for replacements. Will let you know how well they handle that with an update later.

Thus skyfort was what we wanted in the space reserved in our backyard. We are thrilled our firstborn loves it too! We recommend this to others, but may want to stake out about a foot more clearing in the dimensions listed online. We did it specific to the rectangle online and it's a tight fit for the area we reserved for the playground.

A quality product for the price. Goes together well if you take the time to do it right and double check the instructions for part orientation, and proper hardware. I recommend doing an inventory of all parts and hardware before starting. To organize the many parts and to not be short later. The only down grade is that there were 2 boards missing and 2 extra of a similar board. At least by contacting the manufacturer the parts were sent, it just took 2-3 weeks. So check before starting. I recommend staining each piece before assembly, the stained on the parts didn't seem of high quality.

I bought the SkyFort II for my niece’s two boys and couldn’t be happier! The kids love all the fun features the set offers, spending many hours playing and swinging. The online order process was simple and there was good communication from the company about shipment and delivery. We purchased installation, which took longer to arrange, but once scheduled the installers were on time and efficient, taking approx. 10 hours to install. Overall, very pleased with the process and the quality of the set, and would recommend it to others.

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).

Awesome swing set. My sons love it; they are 5 and 4 yrs old. Since I am working full time, I spent less than 4 hours for 5 days and 2 full days weekend to complete it by myself. It's not too hard to build. I agree with someone mentioned that wood is little bit cheap quality, and swings are pretty close each other. Also, you can purchase sand for the sand box. Kids spend their time all day with the swing set. So far, I am extremely satisfied with the purchase.

The kids cant get enough. Its no public playground as far as strength, so dont sit a grownup at the bench unless you want to be reminded you weigh more than 150lb. Im 188 and it creeks at me. Lol but it is sturdy and i can climb into the tower and stand no problem. Its perfect for growing littles!

After spending two long days assembling this behemoth I finally got it done and it looks great! The arm where the swings are could be just a foot longer and the swinging would be a lot safer. We were missing one piece of wood and maybe 10 pieces of hardware but they sent enough extra hardware to make it work. Very bulky and overly complicated design. It could definitely be redesigned to use a lot fewer different types of screws and bolts, seems like they’re trying to keep the installation companies empolyed by making it more complicated than it really needs to be. The wood is also quite light and thin and cracked in a few places during assembly. My kids love it though, and that’s the important thing.
