Kids Love This

We bought this for our granddaughters. The set looks great and they love it. The slide is a little too bumpy and on the last hump in the slide sends her flying. The slide design could use some work. The directions could have been more descriptive. The directions could spell out the orientation of the predrilled pieces of wood. Pay close attention to the predrilled pieces of wood and that they are placed correctly during assembly.

Nice play set and large in size

This is a very nice play set. The directions lack a little on detail and you need at the very least two people. Not so much that anything is heavy but just to help keep parts coming and double checking your placement. Trust me there are a LOT of parts. If you have someone to keep the sections in order and ready when needed the project goes a lot faster, but still plan for two FULL days at a minimum.

Kids adore this set

Nice size fort allows several children to play at one time. Lookout spot has already proven to be a huge hit! Very sturdy construction. Picnic space is larger than pictures portray which is a big bonus! We have only had the swing set for a few weeks and the kids get on it everyday. We live in southeast Texas and high wind storms happen often. A huge storm blew through the weekend after we put it up and it held through 60 mile an hour winds without a problem. Take the time to sort all of the pieces in alphabetical and numerical order. That saved us a ton of time. We did not have to hunt for pieces. It took us 16 hrs with one drill. Would have gone so much faster with one more drill.

Great Purchase!

I am so happy i purchased this as a house warming gift for my daughter. Everything is well marked with clear instructions-not as overwhelming a project as some make it sound. Sort things out -have your tools ready and follow instructions and you'll have a new swingset in no time. My only complaint is the inability for the delivery men to put the 4 packages in the driveway-she lives in the country with a huge driveway and they would only put the boxes at the curb-there were only 4 boxes!? Otherwise I see many years of backyard fun for the grandchildren!

Great playset

This play set is fantastic for kids of all ages. The assembly took a bit longer than anticipated, but I was also the only one working on it for the majority of the assembly. Make sure to pay attention to the orientation of the boards prior to placing. Overall, it was relatively simple, just time consuming and my kids, nieces, nephews, and friends kids have loved playing on it!

Bought this a week ago for my twins 5 bday (Dec 2018). Its really nice but two things. I dont like that the bumpy slide is clanky and seems to be popping towards the end. Also when girls swing on the main 2 swings, the wooden 2 x 4s is making a rubbing sound. Gor $1,500 I guess I was expecting community playground quality swingsets. But the really love the dual swing!

My boys love it!!

My boys range from 3-8 years old and they all love it! The slide is fast and they love going up to the crows nest! The swings are a bit close together, but other than that, everything has been great. We ended up trading one swing out for a trapeze bar.

Great swing and slide set!

Love the Skyfort 2. I purchased this for my grandsons and my son put it together by himself with no help. It took a full weekend and one other day to finish. On a scale from 1 to 5 with 5 being the most difficult, he rated it a 4 on ease to assemble. Said an extra person wouldn't have made it easier but would have made it quicker to finish. It's very sturdy and the boys love it, they are ages 2 and 6. The only disappointing thing for me is the size. It's smaller than what it appears in the picture. Before he began assembly, he laid everything out, took an inventory, read the reviews, and watched the video. That helped a lot.

Outstanding and paid assembly totally worth it.

Outstanding playset. I highly highly recommend paying for the installation as it looked incredibly complicated as we watched the assembly crew work all day without break from 7:25am until 4:30pm. They were great and bound and determined to get it finished for my daughter. Also if you choose assembly do the guys a favor and measure out and mark your yard where you want the set to go. It really helps make a hard job easier.
