I love the design of this set. My 7 year old requested monkey bars and I wanted something slightly bigger so that he could fit it and our 2 year old could also play and grow into. I love the design but I would have rather paid more money for better quality wood. The wood is very hollow, splits very easily and is already chipping in a ton of the planks and we JUST finished putting it together today. Probably could have taken 1-2 days but we had thunder storms the last 3 days so we had to keep stopping. Some of the screws also came with the middle still in the hole that I tried to dig out with another screw but couldn’t get it out so we couldn’t even use the screws because the screw driver wouldn’t go into it. A couple bolts also broke and had to get more at the local hardware store. All in all, it’s ok but again would rather pay more money for better quality wood to last longer, not sure how long this wood will hold up but hopefully awhile because my kids already love it.

At first it seemed overwhelming to build, but once we got all the parts seperated out into their respective piles/buckets, it was pretty straightforward. My father-in-law helped throughout the project. He was the hunter/gatherer for each step and assisted in holding/lifting. Using 5 gallon buckets we placed the hardware and lumber for each step as we went along so there was no break in building. It took us about 2 days working on it for about 8 hours and about 5 hours on the third day. The beginning steps were completed in the garage on day 1 after an evening of sorting the parts the night before. We built the 2 fort walls in the garage also and then started fresh the next day by putting them up. 2nd full day we completed the main fort up to the roof rafters. Day three consisted of finishing the roof panels, crows nest area, and attaching swings, monkey bars etc. Not a bad build overall, but do look carefully the orientation of the pre-drilled holes. We found a few boards upside down or turned incorrectly. We decided to just redrill the holes instead of disassemble and fix the orientation. Helpful tools to speed up the build, impact driver, buckets to place small parts in while outside, pizza for those hungry moments.

Incredible value. We searched everywhere and found this to put all other options to shame. Solid cedar was a big deal for us and hard to find. Rainbow has solid redwood, but at three times the price or more. Assembly is complex, but generally easy to follow. Make sure you have a couple nice drill/drivers and the rubber mallet. And buy a 7/16 drill bit and predrill every lag bolt with a 1/8 bit. Allow about three days work. Kids love it, and it looks great in the yard. We definitely feel it was money well spent. Matt

Exciting playset for 3, 5, and 8 year-olds! All the kids are enjoying this and spending hours outside.

Took husband and son a full 2 days to completely put it together, but we now have one very excited granddaughter and younger grandson!!

This is a really nice quality built set and sams beats everyone’s price. Definitely be prepared for some long hours installing it, but the end result is your kids smiling face and that’s worth every hour spent putting it together.

The installers took their time, had experience, were very friendly and put it together very well. The playset is great, cannot go wrong with this set.

Nice set overall. We built it ourselves, and it took 3 days. Wood splits easily, so my husband was easily frustrated with it. Glad we are done! Kids love it!

The skyfort 11 is being put up today it is beautiful and so very well made. Everyone I dealt with was professional and everything went very smooth Great company!

Great grandchildren love it. Getting installation thru Sam's was great. Two men with experience finished in about 7 hours. It would have taken my family a week or more.
