Absolutely love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this for our daughters birthday and she cannot stop playing on it. All the parts came with the order and it was easy to assemble, just took some time. High quality product that will bring years of memories!

Children will love it

This is well worth it! Kids love it!! It is quite the build, I had read reviews and lot of people organized the parts saying it help and it really does very important to do so there is a ton of pieces with it’s own numbering and helps if you know where it is caused you have organized it. It took me and my brother 3 days to finish. Because it is wood some pieces are warped a bit making it hard to use the pilot holes they provided but improvised little bit and came out great!

Great value for the money!

My wife and I looked at many different playsets before finally deciding on the Skyfort. The shipment and delivery from Sams Club was super fast and was delivered within a week. The boxes took quite a beating from the shipment, and the shipping co only sent 1 guy to unload; that is roughly 200lbs per each big sized box. The delivery guy still put the boxes into our garage and not on the curb as described, great service and kudos to this one guy! We noted the box damage on the form so the delivery guy can leave, and took accountability of the wood contents, nothing was damaged or missing. I didn't really count the hardware since there was so many and it was in another box inside the big box, so I figured since it was still intact everything was there unless they miscounted at the factory. The setup took about 30 working hours total = 10 hours working alone during the workweek and 2 full weekends (10 hours with help of a friend and 10 hours alone#. The directions were pretty straight forward, and I counted two spots where the directions were not accurate #e.g. wrong hardware part numbers between pictures diagrams and worded directions). In the end after the project was said and done, all that I was missing were two 5/16" washers, which I happened to have spares in my toolbox. Not bad at all, fortunately for me I didn't have to run to the store like some others did. The set is extremely sturdy, it is anchored into the ground by 8 stakes total and does not shift or move at all even when my son is on the swings. The only reason for the quality mark down is due to the strength of the floor panels, they had a tendency to bow/move a little bit while I was stepping on them; however shouldn't be a problem for the intended age target up to kids 10 years of age. Another area of concern was the beam that the monkey bar attaches to, to me it seems like the beam wouldn't support it, but it held up to my weight of 155lbs, again shouldn't be a problem for kids up to 10 years of age. Spent a little more than what we originally started at, but no regrets and absolutely love it.

Our kids love their swing set! It took my husband 2 Saturdays and several evenings after work to put it together by himself. He had a little help from me and the kids (organizing all the pieces). It went together reletively smoothly, there were a couple of the predrilled holes that didn't line up just right, so he had to make his own. As the kids have played on it (for 2 month, almost daily) some of the screws around the swings have loosened up, espcially by the glider swing. My kids have complained that the "crows nest" wiggles a little but it seems to be secure and safe. My husband says it is just how it is comstructed. Overall we are happy with the payset, and feel it was a good choice.

Excellent Set

I bought this set last December as a Christmas present for my two boy, and it's been wonderful. Building it when the snow is starting to fall is a very bad idea, as you want to take your time and pay close attention to the instructions (near LEGO quality). My only issues have been with broken screws since it's seen the summer sun. Higher quality screws would significantly increase the cost, so I'm not bothered replacing the few the snapped.

Kids Love it

We bought this as a Christmas present for our boys. They love it and play on it everyday. The picnic table is great and offers a nice spot to eat an outdoor snack/lunch. Some of the wood pieces may need to be sent back, or have replacements provided, but overall everything was good. Plan on taking your time to construct and MAKE SURE YOU HAVE POWER TOOLS!!!

Skyfort II pretty great

Bought this for our 2 year old and he loves it. The Monkey bars are pretty high, my 5’3 self cannot even reach them but it seems like it’s going to be great to grow with him for years. I do wish the planks were a bit thicker for peace of mind but so far it’s been great!

Excellent Playground

When we decided that we wanted to purchase a playground for our children we didn't know where to begin. When we did finally decide to purchase went with the Skyfort II, our only concern was when the carrier left one of our 5 cases containing our slide somewhere and we didn't get our slide for 4 weeks after the other 4 cases. trying to deal with The retailer we got it from was a nightmare but Backyeard Discovery stepped in and made it happen, Thank you very much. This is an amazing playground thank you Backyard Discovery for building an amazing product.

Great purchase

Great value for the offering. Good quality product. Durable. Looks adorable. My son loves it (he is 4). All the neighborhood kids are always asking to come over and play on it. It took my husband an estimated 20 hours to assemble. He said it wasn't bad to assemble. We built sections in our garage and then carried the tower back to where it would be placed, and finished the final assembly in our backyard. We had all our parts - nothing was missing like I had seen mentioned on some reviews. All parts were packaged nicely - very organized. Came in 4 large boxes - fit in our garage. We did not have time to seal or stain it before assembly like it sates in the manual. If you have time I would do that before assembly. Pleased with the purchase.

Everything we'll ever need!

We bought and had this assembled this for our 3 year old daughter a week before everything shutdown due to COVID-19. This was probably the best investment we have ever made. It's taught our daughter so much and challenges her with new obstacles daily. She loves the swing and the lookout the most. It is sturdy and has everything we will need from monkey bars, to a sandbox (which we filled with smooth pebbles), and even a bench for some fine dining.
