Love this swingset!

Our kids absolutely love this swingset! My son loves the swings and has mastered the rock climbing portion. The picnic table and sandbox are also amazing features that come with the set. Overall super pleased with the purchase and our kids are in love with the set. They constantly want to go outside to play on it!!

We bought this set in March. It was delivered without any damages to the boxes. We opened the boxes and laid everything out on a flat bed trailer. All the pieces were included and nothing was split or damaged. It took two men working together about 20 hours. Very sturdy and pretty! My 6 year old loves it!

A blast for young kids, and fun to build!

My wife and I bought this around 3 months ago and we JUST were able to finish it (we have 2 small kids, 2 dogs and we both work). We finally just got it done last week and our kids love it. The wood pieces are pretty sturdy and it's a really beautiful set once it's completed. My wife and I had so much fun building it. Some screws and bolts were tricky to get in, but if you've built anything before you should be able to handle it just fine as it comes with great instructions in the paper copy as well as in the phone app. There are some discrepancies between the two though, I found, so I'd suggest sticking with one or the other (I used the paper copy, call me old-fashioned). I had to put a few of my own screws into some of the thinner boards as I finished and found some screws coming loose. Just some 1” screws will do the trick. I recommend having some on hand. All in all, this is a great play set! And we can't wait to see our kid's build memories on what we built with our hands.

Lots of fun

Bought this for my kids right before shutdowns happened and it has been great. My kids now have their own backyard playground. We're out almost every day (minus rainy days). My littlest loves the swings and my oldest loves climbing up in the "clubhouse". The best part is that I can kick back on the deck and simply tell them to go play. My husband and I enjoyed the time building it together, though be warned: some of the directions can be unclear (measurements would help for some of the steps). Make sure you have all the tools. We followed other suggestions to lay out all the pieces first; we did ours in alphabetical order and that made it super easy to find the parts you needed. Super appreciated that the price included taxes and shipping, so you don't have to worry about adding hundreds of dollars on top of the price. All in all, it looks great, my kids love it, and it provides lots of play opportunities for them.

The kids love it!!

Great for the price! Some of the finish started peeling off within the first week, so that was disappointing. We will just seal it and hopefully prevent more. The kids love it, definitely a great deal for the price! Be sure to have help and plan for a weekend to put together - we had 3 people and it took two full days. Very tedious. Overall we're very happy with our purchase and have recommended to friends!!

Difficult start, but happy ending

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was able to fulfill my own childhood dream of getting this for my son. I always dreamed of getting a playset like this when I was a child, but was never able to. So I got this for my son. It took about 3 days for my husband and I to put together (FYI he's a mechanic and familiar with power tools and following instructions). It came in 4 boxes, and the pieces were not organized at all. I had to act an inventory person collecting all necessary pieces from each box, while my husband was in charge of installation. Sadly, 2 weeks after it was finished, we had a spontaneous wind storm that blew the whole thing over. We filed an insurance claim, and replaced it. It took about 2 days the next time around- we knew what we were doing this time, and we were able to save some sections from the first one which saved time. We anchored the next one with 4 cement footings. No problems with the second one. Despite all this hardship with it, my son loves it, and we don't regret getting it at all. Very happy with this purchase.

Excellent Playground

When we decided that we wanted to purchase a playground for our children we didn't know where to begin. When we did finally decide to purchase went with the Skyfort II, our only concern was when the carrier left one of our 5 cases containing our slide somewhere and we didn't get our slide for 4 weeks after the other 4 cases. trying to deal with The retailer we got it from was a nightmare but Backyeard Discovery stepped in and made it happen, Thank you very much. This is an amazing playground thank you Backyard Discovery for building an amazing product.

Skyfort Ii Discovery

We bought our grandson the Skyfort Ii for Christmas and he absolutely loved it. It was quite the project putting together. Thank goodness my husband is good at building and following directions. It is the most beautiful and sturdy playset I have ever seen. Thank you so much.

Kids love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought Skyfort II and my children love it! It's perfect for a small or big yard. All the parts came in complete, no damages to the wood, and the instruction manual was easy to follow, step by step very understanding.

Nice Playset

We just purchased this and have had it up a week. So far the kids have really enjoyed it. I do have a couple of complaints; the spacing in between swings is a little tight. So far no crashes, but for the $1400 I paid, they could've given it 8 more inches. The board feels a little cheaper, but it doesn't shake and seems to hold up well with my 3, 6 and 9yr old. The color, wow, pumpkin orange. Hopefully it'll fade over time because it's an eye sore. The slide seems cheap as its not a solid piece, but again, no kiddie complaints. I hired a friend and it took 2 men 11hrs one day and one man finished it up in about 4hrs the next day. MUCH faster than anticipated. I was concerned about the high tower, but the sides are plenty tall so there will be no accidents. The swings and monkey bars seem very sturdy. Not sure if I would purchase this again, but it's not for me. The kids love it and that's what counts.
