My grandson's Paradise

I researched several swing sets and decided to purchase the Skyfort 2. When I was ready to purchase the set Sam's Club was sold out of this set so my husband told me to buy a different set! I'm so glad that I didn't listen to him because two weeks later the set was available! It took my husband 3 long days to install the set but after seeing the finish product it was well worth the wait!

Kids love it!

We bought this approximately a month ago and we absolutely love it! The only downfall was the building process. Shew, it was a doozy! We did have one board under the picnic table where after two weeks of play the screws broke in half. It didn't break the board, just the screws. We have since replaced it. The kids play on it almost daily though so it will still pay off!

Hours of fun

We purchased this for our grandkids at there new house and we couldn't be happier with the purchase. Being a builder I found the assembly instruction to be more than sufficient and easy to follow. We sorted out all the pieces and hardware before we started and that was very helpful. The quality was very good and the kids are now having hours of fun.

Looks Fantastic

We are really happy with how everything worked out. Everything fit well, instructions were clear and it looks great. Our kids love the fort part and think it's the greatest (5 & 1.5). Took us about 14 hours for two people to put together. The harware organization was a little frustrating, we used some cheap plastic part dividers that made it so much easier.

Very good quality for the price

Was missing a couple of pieces, but we called and they expedited them here in two days. Very good design. A couple of holes were drilled wrong and you have to predrill just about all the holes that had lag bolts, but it is a very stout design that was well planned, in the owners manual, to provide easy assembly. I had a helper all three days, but we didnt work all day. The estimated time table was pretty accurate. We are very pleased with our purchase.

Great fun!

Purchased the skyfort-ii back in March. Had a company do the install because I dont have the patience for this type of assembly. Only con I have about this set is that the screws that come with it are horrible! One on the monkey bars was snapped off and luckily it was me who tried it out cause a kid probably would have gotten hurt falling that far. Bought extra cedar boards for the sandbox area and extended the flooring.

Happy kids

This was a great purchase. Assembly took us about a week, but that included two full-time jobs and some rainy days taking away from working hours. Customer service was amazing when we needed to replace some wooden pieces that had split. Directions were pretty good, but being able to rotate the view in the app was a huge help since sometimes the pieces look reversible but aren't. Telescope is a little flimsy, but the kids love this thing.

Love it! Would recommend it to anyone!

It took 2 full days to put this together with 3 reasonably skilled guys doing it. The hardest thing was keeping my kids off the thing while we were putting it together. My 4 kids (range 1-9) think they've died and gone to heaven. We've wanted one of these play structures for years. We looked into several different kinds and felt the best about this one. This one has about everything you could want in a play set and is very solid and safe. Only recommendation for those building it themselves it to be very organized and systematic when you put it together. The structure comes as 4 big boxes with hundreds (seems like thousands..) of pieces of wood and screws/bolts. All the pieces are numbered with a letter and a number (i.e.. M12). Taking 2-3 hours at the beginning to lay out piles of all the numbered wood and screws/bolts is well worth your while and saves a lot of time later trying to find pieces. The 4 boxes are not very well organized as far as having what you need first easily available, so taking time early to organize it yourself is well worth it. We also plan to put a border around our play set and put some rubberized mulch in. A tidbit we are discovering is that this border and the rubberized mulch are VERY expensive and will end up costing more than the playset itself.... Anyone wishing to build a set needs to be aware of this, as it is a bit of a surprise to us... Overall, we love this set and would recommend this set to everyone.

A great investment to get your kids outside

My parents and I coordinated the purchase of the Skyfort II for my three kids (10, 7, and 5) this past Christmas. Best purchase ever. Even in less than great weather, my kids are clamoring to get outside. That's right it's 2023 and my kids want to be outside. My 10 year old is pushing 80 pounds and this equipment is holding firm under his weight on the swing. It's held up against much larger kids as well. There is no or only barely noticeable twisting or buckling that I had seen on some of our earlier and cheaper play sets. It's held me as I sat in the fort part of the structure without so much as a creaking of wood and I'm well over 200 pounds. I will say we did pay to have it professionally installed and it was worth it. My kids love it. My wife and I love it. Everyone that's come to our house love it. I cannot recommend the Skyfort II highly enough.

Awesome play set!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last summer for my young grand children. They love to visit Nana and have so much fun on it! This play set was a pleasure to build, every part is numbered and the instruction were written so well, that assembly was stress free. Couldn't be more happy with this purchase.
