Skyfort II is awesome!

Bought the skyfort ii + assembly by GOConfigure. Excellent product and builder did a great job! 6 year old son absolutely loves it. 4 big boxes arrived promptly and delivery team kindly placed them in my garage. GoConfigure had to reschedule twice but was worth the wait because Anthony did a pro job. He builds these all the time and took him less than 8 hours. Finished product is great and we are happy. Wood is very lightweight but sturdy. Wood is pre stained but we will be putting another coat to get the most out of it for years to come. Builder told us that it is covered under warranty for 18 months. Any piece breaks they will send replacement and he will install it. I really hope that is true because that sounds great!

Time consuming but worth 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.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY

I wanted to love this product so much. But I’m SO disappointed to report that after less than a month of use, the screws that hold the flooring are literally all breaking. Just tonight I pulled out over ten screws that were popping up and could seriously injure a child. Replacing the screws isn’t even an option because they’re literally broken with the tips remaining in the boards. My husband did and amazing job building it over the course of a long weekend, he estimates 24 hours, alone! It looks beautiful from a distance but it makes me sick to think 1. The money we invested thinking this would be a long lasting swing set is blown and 2. The hours he spent in it, what a waste. I won’t have him waste another minute trying to fix it. There are boards that are already warping too- on the top of the picnic table and on the top viewing deck. Such a disappointing purchase. We should have gone with the Gorilla Playset that we’ve had in the past and held up amazingly.

Best Bang For The Buck!

After looking at other reviews concerning this Skyfort ll Play Set, I followed the lead of a very detailed and lengthy review with step by step instructions. This is a credit to my success with assembling this set. It took about 23 hours of actual assembly time, not including parts inventory. We assembled and built the Skyfort ll off site under a shelter and set the unit in its' final place with a front end loader. Then, all we had to do then is attach all the accessories assembled prior. Kids are having a ball with this unit! GET YOU ONE!

Decent Purchase

I assembled this right after Christmas. It took me a solid 3 days by myself. For the most part, every piece fit together really good. I don’t really have anything bad to say about the assembly. The only negative is that when I opened the boxes to assemble it, the boxes were filled with rat nests. The rats had obviously occupied these boxes for some time. They had started eating away at the wood. A couple pieces were chewed up pretty bad. Nothing that I felt would compromise the structural integrity of the swingset, but I wasn’t happy about the quarter moon they chewed out a couple pieces. Other than that, I’m happy about this product. It was just as advertised.

Love it!

I purchased the play set a few months ago and we have absolutely loved it! It was kind of a booger to put together but it has been definitely worth the money and time! The kiddos have spent hours on it. The first morning they wanted to eat breakfast outside on the picnic table as soon as they woke up and I thought surely they would want to come in after awhile but no! The first day they played on it for 6 hours straight! (They even ate lunch on the picnic table!) Definitely would do it all over again!

A few hurdles along the way

Shipping was faster than expected. They sent an email 4 days after it shipped with all of the requirements prior to installation. It’s a lengthy list that cost us $2500 to do and should be provided prior to purchasing. The freight company (Estes) left the 800lbs pallet halfway in the street even though i was there and asked for it to be moved onto the property. The installation was fantastic!!! John exceeded all of our expectations and the swing set looks great!

HAPPY GRANDKIDS

The play set arrived on time and in good condition. We had it assembled by some guys who water no time but it took longer than expected. Got expensive. The set is larger than expected which was a pleasant surprise. Hope it holds up to the weather and abuse of grandkids.

Grand children loved it!

Awesome playground / swingset. Directions could add a tad more detail. You will need more time to assemble, unless you have some experience assembling a set like this. Pay attention to the pilot holes pre drilled as you go. Overall a really nice set.

I purchased this when they had a one day sale so assembly was included so that is why we got this one. I am not really impressed with the slide, it is a piece of plastic unrolled and fixed on a frame, not really liking the glider, it is a cheap on as well. But other than that seems good.
