Got this set 2 weeks ago, it took 1 person a week to ten days to put together. Take your time and lay all parts out first! It's better than the wait period for having assemblers come do it! The only negative I have is the swing side needs to be longer, the swings and glide are to close together for safety! Other than that kids love it! Great purchase on sale!

I bought this item and chose to put it together myself and that was a mistake. So far i have moderate problems with the quality of the equipment(subject to change as i am only 1/3 of the way through the process). The directions on the other hand are very vague and extremely difficult to follow making me tear down things that i already had put together. This has been slowing my process greatly and very frustrating to say the least. I would NOT recommend anyone purchasing this product unless of course they have it installed by the company. Very disappointed, Bill Harriott

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.

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!

Took about a week working on and off after work and weekends to get it built. Laying out the peices next to the boxes worked well since directions will refer to part which is listed by box on inventory list. Happy with quality of product. Kids love it.

Great playset! If you are a DIY type person you’ll enjoy putting this together. Instructions are not idiot proof, so ingenuity and know how is a must. During assembly you have to pay close attention to the pilot holes and ensure they are faced in the direction with respect to the illustrations. I jumped around in the manual, because I did half the build in my garage due to weather. The nut barrels are trash! I hated these things. The clearance tolerances of the threads are extremely tight. I had to prefit them with the bolt prior to installing them to ensure proper engagement and alignment. Other than that great product.

It's fun for the grandkids, however when putting it together some of the bolt holes didn't line up and required re-drilling. Outside of that it was easy enough to put together, their technical writer could have done a better job in writing the instruction manual. As I found it faster to jump ahead and build somethings first while assembling to Skyfort...

I wanted to love this product so much. But I’m SO disappointed to report that after less than a month of use, the screws that hold the flooring are literally all breaking. Just tonight I pulled out over ten screws that were popping up and could seriously injure a child. Replacing the screws isn’t even an option because they’re literally broken with the tips remaining in the boards. My husband did and amazing job building it over the course of a long weekend, he estimates 24 hours, alone! It looks beautiful from a distance but it makes me sick to think 1. The money we invested thinking this would be a long lasting swing set is blown and 2. The hours he spent in it, what a waste. I won’t have him waste another minute trying to fix it. There are boards that are already warping too- on the top of the picnic table and on the top viewing deck. Such a disappointing purchase. We should have gone with the Gorilla Playset that we’ve had in the past and held up amazingly.

Bought this a couple weeks ago for my son’s birthday. It came packaged well and the delivery drivers were very nice. After unpacking all the boxes, it ended up taking me and my very handy husband 2 1/2 full days to set it up. I mostly read the directions and passed the wood and the screws and he did the rest. The kids love it, I have even caught my 15 year old climbing on it. Side note though: pay attention to all notes about which direction the pilot holes are facing. We found that out about halfway through and could have shaved 1/2 day off the build.

We love our new Skyfort II - there are lots of fun features (our 3yo has created a circuit/ obstacle course because of so many options) and it is a handsome edition to our backyard! I recommend using the app for assembly - it makes it easier to see the correct placement of boards for predrilled holes (position matters!!) and for part numbers (vs. screw/bolt sizes).
