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.

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!

We purchased the Skyfort II about three weeks ago. It arrived on time and as promised. Even though the boxes had some damage, there were no damaged parts. This was due to the excellent packaging. I read the reviews about how long it takes to assemble and was a bit concerned with how long it would take. I was prepared to take my time and several weekends to assemble it. I spent an afternoon unpacking and organizing the parts. As stated by others, this is a must! On Friday night after work, I began the assembly. By Sunday afternoon, we were playing on our new playset! If I had one critique it would be the markings on the pieces. Some were not stamped very well and I had to guess what part number they were. It wasn't a big deal using the process of elimination on the individual parts lists (each box has it's own). You definitely need a partner to help assemble the Skyfort. My dad and I consider ourselves pretty handy and were able to get it done in two days (and an afternoon of just me). Spend a little time before you dive into assembly to familiarize yourself with the parts and hardware. It will pay off during the build! I am very impressed with how well built and thought out the Skyfort is. There were some pretty smart people who designed this thing.....it takes some time but it goes together easily and is very, very sturdy. If you are looking for a quality playground which will last for years, don't hesitate. You will be pleased with the Skyfort II! Our family could not be happier with it.

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.

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.

We got this as one of the big Christmas gifts for our younger kids. It takes a long time to sort things out and actually get started but it’s worth it. It’s great quality and has a lot of reinforcements. I would definitely recommend this product! Worth every penny.

Overall impression is very satisfied, no issues during the setup (ensure all pieces are not damaged and if so, contact support asap…took a week exactly to get the replacement piece…customer service was great). Took about 24 hours to put together, directions were spot on. Tested all swings out and monkey bars…works like a charm. Sealing the wood took some time but overall very satisfied and the kids love it. Key tips…lay out all bolts in numeric order and categorize would by letter for ease during setup. Would recommend buying the spray paint sealer, goes on faster and less work overall.

Got this set 2 weeks ago, it took 1 person a week to ten days to put together. Take your time and lay all parts out first! It's better than the wait period for having assemblers come do it! The only negative I have is the swing side needs to be longer, the swings and glide are to close together for safety! Other than that kids love it! Great purchase on sale!

Bought this several weeks ago! Lots of room for all the kids. The slide is a bit cheap. Overall a great system, a bit pricey. Paid extra for installation, the installers broke a piece. Had sharp screws poking through the wood and had to point this out to be fixed. Took 2 days to completely assemble, a bit longer than we wanted to wait. We had the swing set at our house for 10 days before someone would be here to assemble it

We bought the SkyFort II about a month ago, and our kids absolutely love it, rain or shine my kids are on it! We loved a few different sets from this site but ultimately chose the sky fort II because of the features it had. Our kids ages are 9m, 2y, 6y, 9y and 11y and there is something for all of them with this model. Shipment was fast and delivered right in our driveway, it came in 4 separate boxes with all of the parts labeled and easy to find. Total installation was approximately 14 hours for my husband and I, simple and self explanatory; easy to read instructions. I would recommend this to anyone. My advice to those buying this set: keep everything from the numbered boxes together in piles as the instructions reference the boxes they come in.
