After spending two long days assembling this behemoth I finally got it done and it looks great! The arm where the swings are could be just a foot longer and the swinging would be a lot safer. We were missing one piece of wood and maybe 10 pieces of hardware but they sent enough extra hardware to make it work. Very bulky and overly complicated design. It could definitely be redesigned to use a lot fewer different types of screws and bolts, seems like they're trying to keep the installation companies empolyed by making it more complicated than it really needs to be. The wood is also quite light and thin and cracked in a few places during assembly. My kids love it though, and that's the important thing.

I bought this swing set a few weeks ago. It took my husband and father in law around 25-30 hours to assemble but it has been more than worth it! My kids (7 and 3) have already enjoyed many hours playing on it. They both agree it is the best Christmas present ever. Great quality and product!

We bought this for our son's one year birthday party. It is a little big for him now but I'm sure he will grow into it. He loves going down the slide. As we were putting it together we had to redrill some of the holes as they weren't lined up or drilled thru enough. Also the bolts for the glider slide were not long enough. a couple of the boards had to be shaved down as they were too long. It took about a week for us to get it together and the last two days my husband and father worked on it all day to get it finished. It looks great in our backyard. Overall we are happy with it.

It was for my grandson. He was super excited & would look at it & say “whoa” every time he saw it as he came home or woke up to it looking different every time something was added. I did sand & stain every piece with a six year semi-transparent stain so that will be so much better than having to do it with all the parts on it. Also keep the packing slips, sort the wood pieces into four piles as to which box they came out of & also it would have taken more time but to put each step's bolts & screws into a bag & label them. It would save time in the long run. Also check every number twice & look to make sure it is turned the right way with the pilot holes. I enjoyed putting it together & the instructions were good.

Has everything we wanted in a set- monkey bars, swings, slide, sandbox, climbing wall. It is more bang for your buck than many of the other outdoor play sets. The quality is certainly less (flimsier slide) than the more expensive sets, but it's certainly solid enough.

I bought the SkyFort II for my niece's two boys and couldn't be happier! The kids love all the fun features the set offers, spending many hours playing and swinging. The online order process was simple and there was good communication from the company about shipment and delivery. We purchased installation, which took longer to arrange, but once scheduled the installers were on time and efficient, taking approx. 10 hours to install. Overall, very pleased with the process and the quality of the set, and would recommend it to others.

The best part was my son has to put it together, not me. He did it little by little all by himself for a total of approximately 28 hours. He used the instructions available on the play set website and it all went smooth. So, there is an overjoyed 6 year old boy (loves the monkey bars) and 2 year old girl loving their "park" in their own backyard.

We purchased the Skyfort II about three weeks ago. It arrived on time and as promised. Even though the boxes had some damage, there were no damaged parts. This was due to the excellent packaging. I read the reviews about how long it takes to assemble and was a bit concerned with how long it would take. I was prepared to take my time and several weekends to assemble it. I spent an afternoon unpacking and organizing the parts. As stated by others, this is a must! On Friday night after work, I began the assembly. By Sunday afternoon, we were playing on our new playset! If I had one critique it would be the markings on the pieces. Some were not stamped very well and I had to guess what part number they were. It wasn't a big deal using the process of elimination on the individual parts lists (each box has it's own). You definitely need a partner to help assemble the Skyfort. My dad and I consider ourselves pretty handy and were able to get it done in two days (and an afternoon of just me). Spend a little time before you dive into assembly to familiarize yourself with the parts and hardware. It will pay off during the build! I am very impressed with how well built and thought out the Skyfort is. There were some pretty smart people who designed this thing.....it takes some time but it goes together easily and is very, very sturdy. If you are looking for a quality playground which will last for years, don't hesitate. You will be pleased with the Skyfort II! Our family could not be happier with it.

Took about a week working on and off after work and weekends to get it built. Laying out the peices next to the boxes worked well since directions will refer to part which is listed by box on inventory list. Happy with quality of product. Kids love it.

A quality product for the price. Goes together well if you take the time to do it right and double check the instructions for part orientation, and proper hardware. I recommend doing an inventory of all parts and hardware before starting. To organize the many parts and to not be short later. The only down grade is that there were 2 boards missing and 2 extra of a similar board. At least by contacting the manufacturer the parts were sent, it just took 2-3 weeks. So check before starting. I recommend staining each piece before assembly, the stained on the parts didn't seem of high quality.
