We made a good selection.  Parents and kiddos are very happy with Skyfort II. We used the instruction manual along with the Bilt app when building and we had this playground up in a total of 22 hours with the help of 3 other men. I had everything sorted in letter groups then put them in sections ie: fort, crows nest, swing and monkey bars. So easy to locate the parts for each section of the playground that way and I think that's why it was built so quick. We had one peice that was split so I called Backyard Discovery and with little hold/wait time I ordered the peice along with a new telescope with no issue. Ours was warped. I had ordered through another company, an infant swing and a play phone. Both green and it matches the sets other peices. With our children who are 18mths, 4yrs, 8yrs and 11yrs, they will enjoy this set for a long time. Mom even climbs up the crows nest with them. She is 5'7 and can stand straight up deck portion of the fort. Dad is 6'3 and he stands straight up in the middle of the main fort house. Lots of room and not short or small playset. This is must!! Making memories

This playground was a 2nd birthday gift for our daughter. She absolutely loves it and will be able to grow into it throughout the years. It's a huge hit with all of our friends and family. Construction was tedious, but we assembled the whole playground in a weekend with 6 adults. Some of the boards were split upon arrival, but the company was happy to replace the pieces. We are slightly disappointed with the thickness of the boards. Make sure to put a coat of outdoor weather protectant on it as soon as it's assembled. It will enhance the beautiful cedar and protect it for years to come.

Background info: I have 2 girls, ages 7 and 4, and had been thinking of purchasing a swing set for a while. I finally decided to do so with my husband leaving for a deployment to try to keep the kids distracted while he is gone. The good.... - My kids love it. - This is one of the few sets with monkey bars and and has several other great features like the crow's nest. - The clubhouse is really spacious. - Not very expensive for such a large set. The bad.... - It's not expensive; so if you are looking for something long-term, this might not be it. The other reviews clued me in as to how soft and thin the wood is, but I was still a little surprised as to the extent. A neighbor's toddler hit the wood with a stick, and it left dents. Also, the surface (maybe just stain?) was peeling off from day 1, so I had to tell the kids not to pull it apart. The ugly.... - I purchased installation given my husband's deployment and thinking it would be easier that way. I'm not sure if this is the norm, but it took 6.5 weeks from the time of delivery until installation was complete. The first team said my yard wasn't level enough (looked fine until they brought out the line level) and that I needed 500 lbs of fill dirt. I got the dirt that day (even after they tried to say that little old me couldn't possibly pick up the 40-lb bags of dirt myself) and put it in the area they designated. For the next scheduled install appointment, a different team showed up and seemed to think the ground was fine. They couldn't finish due to missing parts and had to come back a week later when the pieces arrived. And now that it's complete, I think the extra dirt actually brought the clubhouse higher than the swing arm, so I'm expecting structural issues down the road. - The set has been installed less than 2 months, and it already has mildew. I know it needs to be sealed, but that seems excessively fast. Bottom line: Your kids will love it. You may or may not. Just know what you're getting into.

My wife and I had been looking for a swing set for our two girls. I came across the Skyfort II and was amazed by all of the features it included. This thing has the works! Wave slide, rock wall, monkey bars, teeter-totter swing and two additional swings. That doesn’t even include the tower section that has a functional picnic table, sandbox, fort, and crows nest with a telescope. If you need your children to burn off some energy this is how you do it! The Skyfort II is a majestic addition to any backyard. You kids will never run out of friends if they have one of these kids playgrounds. The neighbor children have a blast learning sharing, playing, and communication skills. It does take some time for delivery, however the drop off went very smooth and the friendly folks placed it nicely in my garage. I highly recommend getting a crew together for assembly. It took 5 of us 12 hours to complete and that was with 2.5 hours I spend prior to that just unboxing and sorting parts. The wood is a tad soft so make sure to not over tighten the hardware as it will dig into the wood. I also recommend using a sealant to prevent any splintering from wear and tear. There is tons of space in the fort for your young ones to have fun. My 6’6” brother cab stand up in the inside without hitting his head! They bay windows also give a great view all around the yard for “home base” during hide and seek. I highly recommend this product and plan to help build more of these with my friends for their children.

By far the best gift I have ever purchased for my grandkids. A little intimidating arriving by freight and the thought of assembly; however, with an awesome Uncle Jake and Gramps the assembly went smoothly. Highly recommend organizing all the pieces and hardware PRIOR to starting the assembly and FOLLOW the instruction booklet! Assembly did take a few days; but the grandkids remained excited during the process. Great purchase!

This swing set is great! Just wish that it didn't take so long to put together - my hubby who is great with building things, and fixing them, spent A LOT of time (i think 3 weeks) after work putting this thing together. It came in 4 big boxes - NOTHING is put together. The quality is not the best, but pretty decent - some boards cracked when hubby was putting it together...but him being great with fixing things, he thought of something to save those boards and they are fine now. For the price though its a great buy - hubby said for the hardware alone, it would cost over 300 dollars to buy - plus it is a great design - our boys love the outlook balcony on top, they can see everything :)

Some of the barrel nuts were not threaded correctly and some of the lumber identifications were smudged but overall not a bad install. Prints could've been a bit clearer where some of the pilot holes were on posts, etc. It was hard to tell and a few pieces were put in facing the opposite way. The Kids love it.

We bought the set one year ago. It immediately needed to be sealed. We ofcourse didn't have the money to seal it after paying for the set so we decided to wait. There are worn spots all over the set. It looks about 5 years old. Several pieces cracked upon assembly(and I had an experienced carpenter help me assemble it). I bought it because I thought it would be big and sturdy enough for the kids to swing on. My 5 yo(40pnds) can't swing high on it because the whole swing bar shakes. It comes with a glider and two swings we removed the middle swing. It's way too cramped and dangerous. The wood overall seems very soft and thin. I have a home daycare and unfortunetly don't anticipate this thing lasting over 5 years. I absolutely regret buying this one. The reviews all looked great and it's a really cool looking set but it isn't made well enough.

We bought this set in March. It was delivered without any damages to the boxes. We opened the boxes and laid everything out on a flat bed trailer. All the pieces were included and nothing was split or damaged. It took two men working together about 20 hours. Very sturdy and pretty! My 6 year old loves it!

This has been a great purchase for our kids they love it. I have been looking for a long time and for the price you can't go wrong. Not olny do you get the swings but also the monkey bars and in this playset they are on opposite sides so now they can do both. The only down fall is it takes two men about 24 hours to put it together.
