Purchased this and installed it June 7-9. My kids (2 and 3.5) LOVE LOVE LOVE it and do everything but the monkey bars and the rock wall. We had friends over, 4 kids between 5-16, and they loved it as well. Heck, I enjoyed using it and I'm in my 40s! There is something to do for everyone. I put it together by myself and it was about 30-hrs. But, instructions were VERY clear and EASY to follow. Biggest time consumer was gathering the right combination of fasteners and finding the right wooden parts among the 4 boxes. If I had to do it all over again, I would photo copy the instructions and have 1 person gathering the parts and fasteners while the other assembled the fort. Pay close attention to the lengths of the fasteners and when it notes the orientation of specific parts or holes. It matters. But if you follow the instructions, you'll get it all right. I would also recommend having at least a power drill, if not an impact driver. Lots of lag bolts and such that would have taken a lot longer if I was doing it by hand. In the end, 100% happy and 100% recommended. If you're looking for a play set that spans a lot of age brackets and you have the room for something of this size, this one is absolutely worth considering.

This product was great! My kids love it and aside from the 3 full days it took me to put together, it was a breeze. I was missing 1 single floorboard, haven't been able to get it from them yet, but am making due with what i did get. We are very pleased with the playset and after it was assembled, it actually looked like the picture!!

I had bought this for my two young boys as a Quarantine present. They love it, I love it and it fits the backyard so well. The Skyfort is built so well and is very sturdy. It gives my backyard such a new look and I’m glad that I went with Backyard Discovery over anyone else. We now have years of fun ahead of us!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love it, the kids love it! It was a bit difficult to follow the instructions and sort through all the lumber and hardware when building yourself and some of the pre drilled pieces were drilled a bit off but overall with many hands and a good chunk of time we were able to get the job done and now enjoy this awesome play set!

I can't say enough good about this set. First off I was building this and was up to step 45 out of 103 and the wind decided to pick it up and throw it into my Yukon. It ended up breaking 20 boards and bending some hardware. We salvaged what we could and I spoke to the manufacturer and they agreed to replace 8 of the most expensive board and I had to purchase the rest which in the end only cost me $40. I am super happy with the product quality, price, and service.

Purchased the set for my grandchildren. While the assembly is complicated and very many pieces if you have any skills at all it easy to follow the directions. All the materials were top quality and we had no difficulty in assembly with each piece fitting and pre-drilled holes lining up. We found sorting hardware into small containers for each step helped move things along nicely. The grandkids could not even wait for the construction to end before they were crawling all over this set. I was quite surprised at the quality having seen many much more expensive sets at other online sites that did not get that good or reviews from the owners.

We bought the Skyfort II set at Xmas 2019 for our then 2yro. Who knew that just around the corner all public parks and playgrounds would be closing. We assembled the set, my little one helped with his plastic tools, at the end of January. This set was more of a life saver than we ever could have imagined when we made the purchase. We have since added some accessories from the BYD site to add to his entertainment options. Nothing short of hours of fun for my little one. I am a bit old school and used the paper directions to assemble. At 36 yro, it took me 2 full weekends to assemble alone. I have no complaints though.

Purchased and set up a year ago. Will work well for my 3 year old toddler. I do not see this lasting very long without adding more support or replacing several boards. I wish I spent slightly more money and bought a more heavy duty playset with a couple less features. I currently dread having to tend to an accident due to this sets flimsy materials. None of these approval features, monkey bars, Rock wall, etc are worth the fear I have while my son plays on this set. I have no issue with the company, everything came in good shape. I just wish I had went with higher quality and less flare. I will most likely reinforce several parts of the set with 2x4s. I'll sacrifice looks for piece of mind.

We purchased this for our church, and it was the best price that i could find for a swingset this size. Looks really nice put together. Kids love it. Took us 2 1/2 days to put together!!! Directions were pretty easy to read with exception of the position of the holes in the boards. When you put boards in each position, make sure u take notice of the position the extra holes in the boards. We had several boards we ended up having to take off and flip over or around to line up for the next step. The directions are a little hard to see the positions of the holes. Other than that was good. The longest part is looking for the screws and bolts and boards for each step. Be sure to go ahead at the beginning and organize each board according to alphabet so u wont have to search for each board!!!

So this thing is a serious playground. it's great my kids love it but boy let me tell you about the setup! It took me and one other person two weekends and me working on the side pieces during the week to finally get it complete I strongly suggest sorting out all of the bolts and screws and nuts in numeric order on a table and using the lids of the wood boxes to sort all the different pieces if you like Puzzles this assembly is definitely for you it was fairly simple I strongly suggest downloading the bilt app this app was a lifesaver instructions were pretty simple so follow it's just a lot of manual labor most of the wood pieces were pretty good condition but quite a few were chipped or warped but in the end all the hard work was worth it endless hours of entertainment!
