We are already having a blast with our swing set, and slide. Wonderful time to have a toy set at home, and keep the family happy, and busy. Our kids love to use this set, at all times of the year, and it is so nice to get outside even when the weather is not the best.

We bought the Skyfort II after scouring through multiple different play sets because we saw so many features that our daughter could grow in to. As a four year old, she loves the swings, the climbing wall, the slide, and the play areas. Now that summer has arrived we look forward to having picnics and having friends over. She added flowers to her windows and we added a teeter totter under the monkey bars until she’s old enough. I feel comfortable as a mom letting her play outside on her own and know that she is getting some much needed free play time. Assembly: We took the advice of others and watched some YouTube videos before starting. We spent one weekend separating out all of the items into step-by-step piles and the hardware into baggies. It was detailed, but it made the assembly process so much easier and didn’t waste my kind volunteer’s time. We assembled it easily over two days with 4 active assemblers. Our daughter was sliding and swinging by Sunday evening! I highly recommend the Skyfort II. We sealed it once last September with a water based protectant and will do so once a year to keep it looking great.

I bought this, and just had it installed last Saturday. My kid's love it! There's so much to do, and they'd be out there rain or shine if I let them (still a bit too cold here for that). I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend this to anyone in the market. I'm glad I snagged it early March, because it looks like it's out of stock everywhere now. Even the gentleman that came out to do our install said we picked the best set that Backyard Discovery sells. Looking forward to a great summer with our new playset!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this at the beginning of summer for my 6,5 and 2 year old. It definitely was higher than I had anticipated and I’ve had to be very careful with my kids in it. Monkey bar area is very high and is about a 3-4 ft drop from hanging for my older kids. However it is a great swing set for them to grow into. I put together almost exclusively by myself within 5 days with the help of my kids (haha). Only complaint with instructions was to very closely pay attention to pilot holes for directionality. Had to undo several steps on a few occasions. And the markings on the boards were VERY faint. Difficult to read which pieces were what for building. Kids love it and I have been very happy with it!

I have to tell you that this took awhile to put together by myself, but when it was finished it was well worth it. The directions were very simple to understand and it helped having the boards and bags properly labeled. The quality is good and it looks professional. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a playset.

The instructions were quite accurate. Kit was complete with only one little bracket missing but we were able to pick that up at a local hardware store. As with any product, there are reasons to wonder what the engineers were thinking - the stove bolt/barrel nut/L - bracket combination is nearly impossible! (Thank goodness for Vise Grip pliers!!) Also, many of the holes were pre-drilled but there were lots that weren't for whatever reason. Overall, It's a quality, sturdy playset that should last a while. I should add that it's even nicer looking than what you see in the photos!

We bought this as a combo Christmas present for our 3 year old son and 1.5 year old daughter. It was delivered to our driveway in perfect condition, and I had the parts sorted over the next 2 hours. I constructed the fort 99% by myself in about 34 hours. (The remaining 1% were times when I dropped something while working from the upper floor or crow's nest and my wife stepped in to grab it, hah). The material quality is excellent - I see no reason why this would not stand up to the 10+ years of play I expect to get out of this as our little ones grow into fully using all parts (e.g. monkey bars). The only knock I give against the Skyfort II is that the golden/brass materials used in the swing connections (for decorative purposes over the otherwise black bolts?) were a bit soft. I stripped the ends of 2 gold/brass bolts trying to get them to bite into the gold/brass lock nuts, and there was only 1 spare provided. I was easily able to buy replacement (harder material) bolts on Amazon since all parts are labeled with their specs, but it was annoying to have to wait to "complete" the swingset. As you can see in the pictures, the trapeze had to wait until I had the bolt. Otherwise the only other "complaint" is that you need very level ground - for example making the final connections from the crow's nest to the main building. I had to add bricks under the swing-side support to take tension off these bolts and secure them. I'll have to add dirt over time to level the yard.

I bought this for my 3 year old daughter and she’s now obsessed with it. The play set is as advertised. I opted to build it myself and it took 16 hours with a helper. Two of those hours were laying out all of the pieces and organizing them, which is something I highly recommend. The instructions were pretty clear and easy to understand. I did not try the app that was recommended, but it all worked out.

We bought this 2 months ago, took a while for it to arrive-6 weeks! We used a handyman to set this up for us and it took 18 hours. Playground looks awesome and kids love it! We did have some issues with the wood splitting when we put in the screws, but will be applying wood putty to the area. So far happy with our purchase

I purchased the Skyfort II with the expectation that my kids would enjoy it, but I didn’t anticipate just how much! Best purchase I’ve made to date for them. The layout is perfect at keeping them busy for long periods of time, definitely keep the imagination games flowing. The best feature is the crows nest, as they enjoy playing pirates and exploring the environment using their mounted telescope as a guide. The attached picnic table has them constantly asking to go outside for a snack, and a quick dive in the sandbox keeps them digging for that pirate treasure! Not only is it fun, it’s aesthetically pleasing! Beautiful addition to our new back yard. I highly recommend!
