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.

I'm somewhat experienced with woodworking and it took me about 2 weeks by myself working sun up to sun down to build it. I would recommend someone gathering the needed pieces per page and bringing them to the work area as getting up and down for me proved tiring (Pieces can be in any one of the 4 boxes that are shipped). I would also strongly recommend ensuring the ground is level before starting the project, and predrill anything larger than the woodscrews as the wood tends to split easily. To have this built by others would have cost around $800 when all said and done. I take great pride in knowing I did it myself. I learned a lot. Playset is descent quality and worth the money. Monkey bars are too high for my 5 year old to use (though that's the first place she wants to go).

We bought this play set for our daughter's birthday and she absolutely LOVES it! It has fantastic features that are great for all ages and will not let your little ones grow bored. The quality of this set is exceptionally built and the design of it gives you the most play area for the space. HIGHLY recommended to anyone who has children that love to play outside!

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.

We bought the Skyfort II set at Xmas 2019 for our then 2yro. Who knew that just around the corner all public parks and playgrounds would be closing. We assembled the set, my little one helped with his plastic tools, at the end of January. This set was more of a life saver than we ever could have imagined when we made the purchase. We have since added some accessories from the BYD site to add to his entertainment options. Nothing short of hours of fun for my little one. I am a bit old school and used the paper directions to assemble. At 36 yro, it took me 2 full weekends to assemble alone. I have no complaints though.

Have had the set for about 2 months now. My kids absolutely love it and play on it daily. The setup between the app and the manual made this a very easy setup!! Lay out everything before hand and you will have this set assembled in no time. If you are trying to speed up your set up time, have two groups of people set up. One group starts in the base of the main structure and the other group starts on the rock wall, steps, etc.

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.

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!!!

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.

This set was a great choice for my active boys! The glider is great for those who can't swing properly yet but I would suggest ordering the bucket seat for those under 4. My husband who is a skilled craftsman, put this together in about 60 hours with 6 hours of help from another neighbor. The key to this is defintely organization. You need to have everything laid out and make sure you read the instructions carefully. Most people would need 2 fairly skilled people to do this over the course of 2-3 weekends! All in all, we are thrilled to have this quality set in our yard!!
