Really enjoying this

Was delivered within a week of delivery. Arrived in great shape. Had an outside company put it together. 3 guys, 6 hours. It's amazing. My 3 year old loves all the features. Looks great. Only downside is the slide is a little flimsy.

Poor quality

I was expecting the quality to be way better! My three year old makes the boards creak and the slide bends.. it is not study at all! Very unhappy with the amount of mone I spend and the quality of the product! I really want to return it

Worth the hassle

Get your ducks in a row before starting! Lol.take the time to organize each items. Took about 25 hours to assemble, but well worth the work to do it. Ran out of a certain size screw, but bought more to complete it. Directions are less than perfect so be sure to look ahead so you don't have to undo what you have already done to turn a board so other holes align. Slide has too many bumps and kids can get air if they go fast enough. Overall, this is an amazing swing set and well worth the time and money! Kids absolutely love it.

Awesome Play/Swing Set!!

Awesome play/swing set!! My kids love it! We paid for assembly (took about 8 hours) and I wouldn’t go any other route! It is sturdy and the company who installed it was great to work with! I would definitely recommend this play/swing set and assembly!

Almost perfect

Nearly perfect! Easy (but long) instructions. Did almost everything with one person. Came up short by 3 on one bag of screws, but brass wood screws are easy to find. A few boards were warped but not unusable. Give yourself 3-4 days if you are doing this by yourself, 2-3 with 2 people. The monkey bars are 7.5 ft off the ground so we are waiting to install them until we have wood chips down. The most important part? The kids love it!

Great fun for the grandkids

The number one thing to point out is what the directions of where the pilot holes need to face. Several times I got ahead of myself and had to step back and redo. I prebuilt as much as I could in the house since it was hot as crap. Other item of worth to point out, is get it built quickly as some of the boards will warp if left unassembled for to long. Mine sat for a little over a week before I got started. After I completed the swing set I invited the grandkids over and it was a big hit. So I am very happy with it.

Excellent Product!

This is awesome! Build took my dad and I about 3 days. Everything was well labeled and the end result is fantastic! My 2 year old loves climbing and swinging on this play set! The dogs also enjoy staying under it for shade during the heat of the day.

Lot of work, but worth it

Took 3-4 people 2 days to build. It was a LOT of work but daughter loves it (only 2 days in, so don't know about longevity). It needs some pull bars on the crows nest and some of the boards are thin (adults should avoid getting in the crows nest), but it has pretty much everything you could think of.

We are happy to hear your daughter is having fun on her Skyfort II. Following manufacturer maintenance and applying a clear sealant to protect the wood from the elements our daughter will play for years to come.

Very nice

Very nice once it’s assembled but extremely difficult to put together . Every piece has to be screwed together . I would have never made this purchase had I known this . I payed more to have someone put it together than the actual cost of the swing set. Also needs to be sealed to protect from the environment .

Great product

Directions say 20 hours estimated time to put together. We did it in about 15 with 3 people. Definitely need previous skill, especially using multiple power tools. It was annoying that you had to pre drill some holes, but all in all it was pretty self-explanatory. Looks great, kids love it. Be prepared for a hard day lol
