Cute but cheap material

Fell in love with this swing set for the boys so I knew we had to have it.. Sam’s has it priced right but when I went to purchase the price went up almost $500!!! Still purchased because I promised my boys.. After it was build the wood started peeling, just not great quality as far as material. The slide is made out of a flimsy material and not a hard slide at all..

You can do it.

Kids love it. Very sturdy for my 3 boys. Dont let it intimidate you. Me and my husband put it together. Cant stress this enough. Follow the directions page by page. Do not jump around. Theyve made it fool proof. Pay very close attention to part numbers. Do as the directions say. Pay attention to the position of predrilled holes. Directions were 100% accurate. Most importantly. As you are unboxing the boards, lay them as they are categorized. Example. If it says rock climbing wall put it in its own category. If it says swing assembly lay it in the swing category. You will thank me later.

Have help and time off

I like this playset and for the price cant beat it. Time consuming lots of parts hard to find. Lay everything out and put together some of the stuff that can be attached later. Have someone help you and dont try to rush it. You will not put it up in a day..2 days if you have time or about a week doing some here and there..it does get more sturdy once everything is done.

Great play set that is a tremendous value

Great play set that was relatively easy to build. My kids love it and it has all the activities to make it fun for a long time. I do not know how long it will last (probably only 2 or 3 years) before it will start to fall apart. Overall, a GREAT value.

Beautiful set with lots of options!

We ordered this and had the assembly team put it together for us. They had it up in 6 hours. I could have never put it together myself!! I’d highly recommend going over the set before your assembly team leaves though. My son absolutely loves this set. He wakes up and runs to the window to make sure it is still there. I love how many options there are between the different swings, the rock wall, slide and monkey bars. I still have to get sand but really wish it came with a cover to keep animals out. The play house part is much larger than I expected. I can stand up in it. We added a little bin up there of books and small toys. Also going to add a chalkboard to one wall. I hope this set lasts us a long time!

Great playset once it's set up

Great playset. Put it together myself, took about 4 half days. The hardest part is digging through all the boxes and parts to find the right pieces, especially early on. If you have help I would recommend just having someone organize the pieces by letter group, this would save a lot of time. As a lot of people say pay attention to the pilot holes. My one big critique is some of the directions are dark and it's hard to see the pilot holes especially on the bigger support beams on the corners but if you look ahead (sometimes several steps) you will be able to see where they are. I too built the whole crows nest on the ground which made it more tricky to lift up onto the swings but it was better then going up and down the ladder and trying to do the rails while it was up there. All in all it's like Legos for adults and was a lot of fun to put together!

Huge Playset

We ordered the playset online. It was delivered in approximately 2 weeks. The delivery is curbside and it came in 4 boxes totalling 750lbs. Luckily my neighbor was home and offered to load it into the back of his truck from the semi and drive it to the backyard. Our driveway is 120ft long, so it would have been difficult moving the boxes. Putting it together took approximately 24 hours, with 2 people assembling and 1 person searching and gathering parts. The parts are not in order in the boxes so i suggest laying all the wooden parts, seperating them into groups. I did this at the end of day 1, after we worked on it for 8 hours. It made day 2 much easier. I also suggest looking ahead a few pages before assembling sections. One of the main beams has a pretty good size chunk thats damaged, it is just esthetic, but disappointing. Overall, my daughter loves it and we hope it lasts her many years.

Great play set

Bought this several weeks ago! Lots of room for all the kids. The slide is a bit cheap. Overall a great system, a bit pricey. Paid extra for installation, the installers broke a piece. Had sharp screws poking through the wood and had to point this out to be fixed. Took 2 days to completely assemble, a bit longer than we wanted to wait. We had the swing set at our house for 10 days before someone would be here to assemble it

Well built and worth every penny!

We purchased the Skyfort II about three weeks ago. It arrived on time and as promised. Even though the boxes had some damage, there were no damaged parts. This was due to the excellent packaging. I read the reviews about how long it takes to assemble and was a bit concerned with how long it would take. I was prepared to take my time and several weekends to assemble it. I spent an afternoon unpacking and organizing the parts. As stated by others, this is a must! On Friday night after work, I began the assembly. By Sunday afternoon, we were playing on our new playset! If I had one critique it would be the markings on the pieces. Some were not stamped very well and I had to guess what part number they were. It wasn't a big deal using the process of elimination on the individual parts lists (each box has it's own). You definitely need a partner to help assemble the Skyfort. My dad and I consider ourselves pretty handy and were able to get it done in two days (and an afternoon of just me). Spend a little time before you dive into assembly to familiarize yourself with the parts and hardware. It will pay off during the build! I am very impressed with how well built and thought out the Skyfort is. There were some pretty smart people who designed this thing.....it takes some time but it goes together easily and is very, very sturdy. If you are looking for a quality playground which will last for years, don't hesitate. You will be pleased with the Skyfort II! Our family could not be happier with it.
