Excellent! Strong and Sturdy

This Skyfort II is awesome! My grandchildren, ages 6 and 3, love it. The set is incredibly strong. It weighs almost 750 pounds, so it is sturdy for sure. The individual pieces may seem lightweight but, when assembled together, are very sturdy and secure. The whole family can play on this set. Adults can stand up straight inside the clubhouse. This is exactly what I wanted for my grandkids. It has so many areas where they can play, and they will continue to grow into it. I expect it to serve them well for several years!

Excellent swing set, I built it myself!

Best value and playground set for the price. My son loves it and plays on it everyday and he’s is 3. I built the whole thing myself took 4 days ,5 hrs a day. Had a blast building it and the online instruction app is excellent and very easy to follow.

Inventory and check all parts before starting.

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.

Solid build!

Just finished putting this together with my father and friend. Took us 2.5 days. Spent hours organizing the parts in order of steps before starting construction - highly recommend doing that as the parts are all mixed up in boxes!! So far kids love it and it seems very solid and sturdy.

Kids love it!

We bought this for our grandkids for their birthday. They absolutely love it! The only downfall....it says it takes 2 people 20 hours to build....maybe if you were a skilled lumberjack or contractor! It took us 10 days from beginning to end. But I’m the end it was worth it. If I had known they had a service together, I definitely would have paid the extra to do it.

Great playset

This play set is fantastic for kids of all ages. The assembly took a bit longer than anticipated, but I was also the only one working on it for the majority of the assembly. Make sure to pay attention to the orientation of the boards prior to placing. Overall, it was relatively simple, just time consuming and my kids, nieces, nephews, and friends kids have loved playing on it!

Great set, a few negs but happy with my purchase

I love this swing set and took a while and a lot of research to purchase it. I wanted monkey bars that had a separate area for them and not many sets across the different brands had that. My daughter is 5 and very active so I wanted something that she wouldn’t age out of so quickly. The playhouse fits myself, my husband and my daughter comfortably with room! I wish that the roof was more secure so that when it rains it didn’t get wet inside but that is a wish. The only 2 negatives I see with the set are the cross bar holding the swings and glider should be a little longer to give more space between each item and there should be a second ladder on the other end of the monkey bars so that if the child isn’t strong enough to swing their legs up to the playhouse at the end of doing the monkey bars they have another way to descend. I bought a trapeze to replace one of the other swings so that would be a great addition. I purchased the assembly and though I am sure you could do it yourself or hire a handyman to do it for less it was the best part of the purchase. It took 2 professionals about 18 hours to put together. Aside from those things it’s a great set that I am happy to have purchased!

My boys love it!!

My boys range from 3-8 years old and they all love it! The slide is fast and they love going up to the crows nest! The swings are a bit close together, but other than that, everything has been great. We ended up trading one swing out for a trapeze bar.

Perfect Gift!

I purchased this set for my grandchildren for Christmas and they love it. So much to keep them busy outside instead of TV or ipads. Set arrived in a timely manner with notification on when it would be there. Installation had a few hiccups, but was finally installed after a week. Well worth the wait to see the smiles on the kids faces. Would definitely recommend this set to others.

Lots of fun

Just finished putting this playset together. It took what seemed like forever but was probably the majority of three full days. The instructions were not great, the labeling on the lumber was barely visible and we were missing some hardware. The wood is already splintering. My 4 year old was ecstatic so it made it all worth it.
