Variety of activities

My grand kids love this playset, although it has only been in service for 6 months it is holding up well. I stained and sealed all boards before assembly, an important step for full sealing of the wood. Also do the pre-inspection, I had some bad pieces of wood, which were promptly replaced with no hassle. I recommend taking your time with assembly as some pieces were difficult to orientate properly to get the pre-drilled holes lined up.

Kids Love It!

This playset is so much fun! All four of my kids love it (ages 1-6) and can play on it at the same time. It took several days to put together, but the instructions were wonderful. Occasionally it would have the wrong length of screw/bolt listed, but common sense helped us sort that out. It is very helpful to have 3 people working on assembly (one to gather the parts for the next step), 2 people is a must! We love it!

Great playset

We bought this last year for our grandkids. It was easy to assemble with excellent instructions. Unfortunately it was not anchored properly and blew over during a terrible storm. Your company was great to send the replacement parts needed at very little cost. Now it is secure and the kids love it! The quality of the playset is excellent.

Pandemic Proof

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.

Sky fort II

Awesome! Kids love it!! My daughter told me “Mom/Dad, thank you soo much for buying this for us and putting it together it is amazing!!”. It took time to put together for sure but the instructions were great. Finding the supplies is half the chore. The shipping to longer than expected but eventually came. Couldn’t be happier

It an ok play set.

My complaints are of the adult kind, so read the whole thing. I bought this a year ago and there are already signs of wear. For the price I expected a more sturdy product. The wood is a cheap type of pine it bends while the children are playing on it. I have a 4 and 2.5 year old and when they are up in the sky fort part it is umsturdy. I have a 12 yo niece and she said she was afraid the floor was going to break under her feet. When she got on the monkey bars the wood creaked and bent she thought that would break too. Adults should not get in this house. So if you enjoy playing with your children this not the play set for you. I would have spent the money on a play set that has better quality materials . Otherwise a good product because the kids like it.

Kids love it!

We researched a ton of play sets and this one had everything we were looking for. It will be perfect for our kids for many years. It was quite the task to put together but worth it. It’s sturdy, holds up in all sorts of weather, including winter. I highly recommend it.

Amazing! Such a great purchase

Bought this bad boy from Sam’s Club & couldn’t be happier. Took some hours to finish, but if you prepare & organize well prior to the day of install, it goes very smoothly. Make sure to print multiple copies of the instruction manual for the people helping, and organize the wood pieces and parts by category (or even by ‘step’). It would not go nearly as smoothly if we didn’t.. No creaks, No leaks, and am fully expecting this to last us years. Thanks Backyard Discovery!

Fun Play

Great Quality for the money. I was impressed with how all the lumber was stamped with letter/number codes for easy inventory. We weren't missing any parts, thank goodness. I can see my son and his friend will have years of fun on this play set. Thank you for the careful design and planning. We are very pleased! We do also plan to seal it as soon as possible, so it will last in the Texas sun and harsh winter winds here in El Paso. Great fun! Much better than buying cheap pine wood equipment....cedar in the way to go!
