[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We ordered this for three features, the picnic table/playhouse, the monkey bars and the swings. Our kids (5 and 7) love this so much. The crows nest is a huge hit. They love to play pretend house and boat, they eat lunch on the picnic table. The lower area is a great for with just a few tarps attached. It's amazing! So pleased with this high quality playset! (As an aside, the building of the playset was a lot of hard work. My handy husband spent 37 hours (with the help you see here). A great lesson for our kids in how hard work and perseverance is needed to complete great tasks.)

Its great!! My kids love it. My dog even climbed up in it and went down the slide. We used the installation service from the club. It cost $630. It was worth every penny. It took the installer a full day and a half to complete the installation. There was 105 steps in the instructions. There were so many parts it took him 4 hours just to sort everything out. I'd recommend the installation service so you'll enjoy it more and they guarantee it for 12 months. Best of all it allows us to keep our sanity.

I purchased the Skyfort a few months ago. I used the BILT app for the install and it took me (by myself) 3 days to put it together. Recommend organizing all the parts alphabetically and numerically before starting. It was simple to install just a lot of steps. The kids love it. Recommended it to my brother and he bought one too!

The kids love to play with all the features, but it is also time consuming to assemble. Just plan on having plenty of time , and one other person. 1 person to read the manual , and 1 to go grab the parts and then assemble. very happy with it .. no parts missing and it all fit the way it was supposed to.

We just purchased this and have had it up a week. So far the kids have really enjoyed it. I do have a couple of complaints; the spacing in between swings is a little tight. So far no crashes, but for the $1400 I paid, they could've given it 8 more inches. The board feels a little cheaper, but it doesn't shake and seems to hold up well with my 3, 6 and 9yr old. The color, wow, pumpkin orange. Hopefully it'll fade over time because it's an eye sore. The slide seems cheap as its not a solid piece, but again, no kiddie complaints. I hired a friend and it took 2 men 11hrs one day and one man finished it up in about 4hrs the next day. MUCH faster than anticipated. I was concerned about the high tower, but the sides are plenty tall so there will be no accidents. The swings and monkey bars seem very sturdy. Not sure if I would purchase this again, but it's not for me. The kids love it and that's what counts.

I bought this set solely based on the reviews... the price was a plus. We started this project over the holiday weekend, hoping to be done by Tuesday to go back to work....not. It took two additional days to complete it. Day one was spent doing inventory and checking to make sure we had everything. All the wood was there but several pieces were cracked or warped and we had three bags of screws missing. Costomer service was very responsive and sent what we needed, no questioned asked. We took the advice from another review and laid out all the pieces alphabetically and labeled all the screws in individual containers for easy access. That made the process much faster. My 8 year old was the runner and as we went page by page she would gather all the pieces and screws we needed and sat them aside for the next step. It's was really important to read ahead just so that you knew how to prepare. Several of the steps could be extracted and done out of order. I wouldn't suggest that for the majority of the building. I read ahead and did things like the rock wall and ladder and put on the slates while my husband moved on the next step and did the heavy lifting. It was a good idea to copy the pages from the book if more than one person was helping so that they would know the steps and parts they needed. The directions were a little confusing at times, causing delays as we tried to figure out what it really meant for us to do. If using a cordless drill have an extra battery or a corded drill as back up. We also had to have a few pieces cut because they were too long. There was not much getting around having the recommended items. I think we used everything the book said we would need. We didn't have a 10' ladder but we did the best we could with a 8'. You really only need the 10' for the left side of the roof. The right side can be put on via the crows nest, which was able to hold my 200pd husband. We used a step stool inside the clubhouse for some of the roof stuff as well. All in all, an awesome swing set. We added some screen material to the windows to give it that real house feeling and a few extra accessories to give the girls more to do. We've had to chase them off it everyday.

Purchased online after reading many reviews. I knew this was going to be a big project and it was. My husband and father in law build this in 3 days working about 8 hours a day on it. But before assembling anything my husband and I sorted and separated all the pieces, nuts, bolts and brackets. Huge help in quicker assembly. We were also able to see right away that 2 pieces of wood were cracked (probably during shipment) and we were missing a bag of bolts. Bolts were easy enough to replace from local hardware store and the wood pieces that were cracked were from wall slats on the inside part of the second floor so we were able to use them without any issues. Overall, the playset looks great, is very sturdy and my son and nephews all love it.

Ours girls are 7 and 9 and are rowdy, so we were looking for a play set that could last them a few years and withstand how hard they play. They LOVE the monkey bars (in my opinion it's the best feature of this playhouse because kids love them so much). This set has so many different things to offer and my husband was a huge fan of the interactive set up instructions (instead of the normal paper with very little description). Shipping was great and the price was very comparable to a lot of other "lesser" rated models from other places. Will be repeat customers for other products from Backyard Discoveries!

Our kids are loving this playset. It is larger than I thought it would be. A couple of things could be improved. First, the slide is a wavy slide. It is not a smooth ride for anyone over 4! A straight slide would be better. Second, some of the smaller screws for attatching the triangle plates were too short and we replaced them. Make sure you set aside lots of time to assemble this. It took us two Saturdays with 2-4 adults. its not an easy project although we thought the directions were accurate and easy to follow.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’re so happy with our decision. This playset is big enough to accommodate our kids as they grow. The only downside is that the picnic table top is already peeling so we will have to do some maintenance next year which is much earlier than we would have expected.
