My husband just put this together for our two kids, 8 and 3. Took him about 5 days by himself to organize everything and build. We weren’t in a hurry so he took his time and built it right! Our kids love the FAST slide and the monkey bars! The rock wall is a plus too. The swings are something they could do for hours!!!

The stack of very large boxes that sat in my driveway was quite daunting. However, even though the Bilt app was at my disposal, I found putting the Skyfort II together was less difficult than expected using just the assembly instruction manual. It took me, mainly by myself (I enlisted muscle when necessary) about 10 days to assemble. I had to work in short intervals because I'm susceptible to heat stroke. I say this only to show how this project can be completed with little help and at your own pace. I recommend you enlist as much help as you can, just make sure your help can follow directions. One part assembled incorrectly can make a huge difference. Trust me. Everything from delivery to completion went smoothly. Delivered when expected, no damaged/missing parts, easy-to-follow instructions - all made my experience fun. I'll update to attest for its durability. Enjoy!

Unless you have all the time in the world, hire a professional to build this. I was amazed at how many parts that could cram into 4 boxes. It took a team of three about 16 hours to put this together and they build these things every day. The finished product looks amazing and my 5 year old son loves it!

The Skyfort kit makes a very sturdy swing set. Take the time to do a complete inventory before starting the project. We were short 1 board and had one split board. The company had the boards to us in two days. Put all the hardware in plainly labeled bags or containers. Read the instructions through before starting, then read a couple of steps ahead before assembling the one you are on so you will know what goes next and how it fits. It took us 4 hours to inventory and blue tape boards and four days to build it. We had 3 cordless drills and used them all constantly. We tightned most bolts and lag screws by hand to prevent crushing wood. When finished it is very sturdy and the kids love it. My wife and I built it for grandkids at their house, and we are not pros, so you can do it!

I love building this for my son considering I am the mother. Of a 6 year old big boy I managed to assemble this all by myself. Thank you backyard Discovery for making this experience as easy and convenient with every piece of wood packaged in the boxes. Thank you.

By far the best gift I have ever purchased for my grandkids. A little intimidating arriving by freight and the thought of assembly; however, with an awesome Uncle Jake and Gramps the assembly went smoothly. Highly recommend organizing all the pieces and hardware PRIOR to starting the assembly and FOLLOW the instruction booklet! Assembly did take a few days; but the grandkids remained excited during the process. Great purchase!

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!

Very satisfied with the final product. It did take a week to put together with just working on it in the evenings after work but the instructions were easy to read. Had a few pieces damages during delivery and 1 cracked and 1 an inch shorter than it should be but I went on their website and reordered them and they shipped them back quick without any trouble. I would order it again. I agree with some of the others I was surprised the slide wasn't a solid plastic piece. My son slides down it super fast so we help him until he gets a little bigger but he loves it. Still need to take some time to seal it but I would recommend this to anyone. We are happy and our son is happy.

We bought this play set last fall and have used it almost daily. We love the features, the picnic table and the crows nest. All of our friends children come to play at our house. This play set will last us for many, many more years. We paid for someone else to assemble it and I must say that was the right choice.

definitly organize and inventory the boxes. We were missing 23 boards from our playground, but the company was very pleasant to deal with and had our missing pieces to us in 3 days. we are almost done with assembly and it has been 13 hours, definitly a good weekend or long weekend project! Very nice looking product, well worth the money!
