Awesome playground

We have owned this playground for about a year now and it has held up quite well to use of 3 boys. They love going into the crows nest and scoping out the view. They have important Kids's meetings in the second level. And we put sand in the bottom level. It's been a great source of entertainment for my kids.

Backyard Discovery Skyfort

I just bought this and we are so happy with it so far! It seems very sturdy. I looked through multiple sets before I decided because I wanted something my kids could play on now but also grow with and last for years and I think this set will definitely meet my expectations.

Perfect Fit

Just purchased set up this month. Impressed with the precision in manufacturing and the clear instructions for assembly. Every piece went together with ease. It feels really solid and durable. Bought this for my when my grand son is here, he is completely thrilled with all of the features. Looking forward to watching him grow as he masters all the challenges provided. Would highly recommend as a first choice in playsets!!

skyfort 2

We purchased this for our church, and it was the best price that i could find for a swingset this size. Looks really nice put together. Kids love it. Took us 2 1/2 days to put together!!! Directions were pretty easy to read with exception of the position of the holes in the boards. When you put boards in each position, make sure u take notice of the position the extra holes in the boards. We had several boards we ended up having to take off and flip over or around to line up for the next step. The directions are a little hard to see the positions of the holes. Other than that was good. The longest part is looking for the screws and bolts and boards for each step. Be sure to go ahead at the beginning and organize each board according to alphabet so u wont have to search for each board!!!

Skyfort II

Can't say enough great things about this playset!! Friends and neighbors, just love this thing :) We got the additional floor set, and it's the nicest play-set I've seen around. Backyard Discovery is one of the best companies to work with. Customer service is EXCELLENT, A++++ . Whether it's replacement pieces, add-ons, or shipping questions, I definitely thing they make the grade. Would definitely buy from again. ASSEMBLY TIPS - Make sure you organize all wooden pieces 1st. I would recommend organizing nuts/bolts into separate small boxes as well (I had about 8). You will need an additional friend to help you when putting up the big swing/monkey bar beams, and probably the roof panels.

My Kids Love It!!

We bought this for our 3 sons (ages6, 2 and 6 months), they all absolutely love it, the older two more than the baby! There is plenty of room for our kids, plus their friends to play. We also added our infant swing from our old set, but with the glider and swing there is plenty of places for all the kids to swing. The estimated 20 hours for assembly was accurate, it would not have taken as long if the directions would have been clearer. There were a few times that we had to look ahead in the directions. We also had to take things apart and put them back together again. My husband is very handy, so that also helped. It also helped that we organized the wood and hardware before we started so that everything was easy to locate. I have since talked to another mother who bought a smaller set and now wishes that she had bought the skyfort too. It is a great set for the money.

Best set for a great price!!

Awesome set! Highly recommend to anyone searching for a great swing set for a cheap price. Our set has great cedar pieces, no cracks or warped boards. I saw that there were a few reviews complaining about the instructions but never experienced any issues. Never had to reassemble. There are a lot pieces so it does take some time, we had two guys working on the clubhouse and a third guy putting together the other, monkey bars, swings, ladder ect. It took Saturday and Sunday, about 16-18 hours total to finish set. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and now that it's all done and put together my husband feels the same way. The kids (and neighborhood kids) absolutely love 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.

Good enough

Sams club sells this for lower than any other place, but honestly, still not sure if it's worth the price. The wood is pretty soft, but it seems to hold the recommended weight good enough. The manufacturer did leave out 3 pieces, so I'd inventory everything before assembling it. As for installation, unless you want a headache, do it yourself. The company they use has a history of bad reviews and they were not willing to work with me on some items. The assembly isn't too bad, just time consuming. All in all, even with the slight negatives, the kids are happy and that's what matters

Happy but slightly less stable than desired

Our little boys have loved this playground. It takes quite a bit of time to build and the instructions are not very detailed. Always examine each piece of wood for pilot holes and make sure it is oriented correctly. It is a little creaky and if three kids or even two larger kids are swinging at the same time the post is very creaky and moves a little bit. I have a 1 year old and I'd like to crawl up on the structure to help him since he is so young but I'm not confident it will hold my 130 lbs which makes me a little sad. I would have liked it to feel a little more secure. Overall we are very happy with it and the kids love it.
