We purchased the sky fort swing set for our church. It is great! The instructions call for 24 to 36 hours to assemble with 2 skilled people. It took 8 guys to assemble in 12 hours. Definitely have to have the instructions handy at all times. It is a wonderful asset to put church playground and the kids absolutely love it!

Not sure why everyone loves this set. Overall, the set provides enough activities for my children to play with. However, the quality is extremely poor. The wood is very soft and split in many spots while putting it together. It is not cedar, but cedar stain. Part of the wood grain are rising and peeling. This set has been together for 2 months. I called customer service and their response was that, I must be having extreme weather and in order to maintain the warranty, I must seal the set. Ok, but it's only been up 2 months and in NY we have not had extreme weather, it's been unseasonable cool. Our intention was to seal it at the end of summer, because I did not want the kids playing on the set when the sealer smell was on it. Poor customer service and a poor set. Wish I'd spent the additional $300 bucks and bought the gorilla set.

Purchaced for my 4 yr old daughter. 8 yr old sons loves it too. My 12 yr old is really almost too big, but he doesnt care. Overall very good quality, very strong and sturdy product. Goes together fairly easily. I am a moderately skilled do-it-yourselfer and took me 3.5 days basicly by myself. Some help from my 8 and 12 yr old sons. Holding pieces while I bolt together and fetching parts for me. Two skilled people would be maybe half the time. After all playset is big and good quality so it will take some time to assemble. I highly recomend inventory all wood parts and spread out in the yard. Makes it much easier to see if you have any missing parts and easier to locate next needed part during assembly. I was missing 2 boards one P1 and one SC4. Called company and no problem to ship out FedEx 3 or 4 days. (Free of course) For the boards I was missing I was able to complete assembly and install when parts arrived. Instructions were pretty good, need to be more specific in some areas. (Helps to read, not just look at pics) There is really no fabrication with this set, but I did have to trim a couple of small boards on the ends of bay windows. (I am picky and a analytical) I highly recomend pre-fitting swing beam A1 when installing B8 and K19. Also make sure to level playset on the ground and level all main beams. Use soap to on lag and wood screws. Set does need a good wood sealer and is recommended to do it annually. Set should last for a very long time. (Small kids should easily be able to outgrow the set before set would need to be replaced.) Like I said overall good quality and very sturdy. I am 200lbs and it hold me fine when I play on it too. ;-)

Bought and installed this last summer and it is still in the exact same condition as it was when I installed it. I would recommend if you’re going to install your self to definitely layout all the wood And layout all the bolts and hardware. This will make the process go much quicker when time for install. I also reinforced the main deck with treated 2x4’s. Reason for that is while you’re building it you will be on crawling and standing on that a lot and what they give you is not sufficient enough. Also if you’re going to have multiple kids up there I would definitely recommend it. Would definitely recommend this product. Well designed directions and good solid materials that will last.

I originally saw this on another website for about $500 more but after reading several reviews that said they pruchased from Sams Club I visited this site. I was floored at the difference in price not to mention the free shipping. The other site was only offering $9.99 shipping. My husband put this up in a week. My kids LOVE it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought Skyfort II and my children love it! It's perfect for a small or big yard. All the parts came in complete, no damages to the wood, and the instruction manual was easy to follow, step by step very understanding.

The playground is beautiful but the instructions were horrible. It took my husband and I five days working from 3 to 6 hours each day. He's a very handyman with lots of tools so that made it easier. It took so long because we had to go back and fix things that were not explained in the directions. For example, in the picture it showed to build the frame with the plank on the outside and then 8 steps later, the picture showed the plank in the inside, so we had to undo the last steps to redo the mistake. Then other steps would have bolts in without nuts just to find we were short on nuts and it had something else instead. The roof was very hard to do. You definitely need a big ladder. Once we finished (during Christmas week), our 6 year old was afraid to stand up on the eagle's best because it's too high. The monkey bars are a little too high for our 4 year old. I'm sure when the weather gets better, they'll love being out there.

My husband and I had already bought a smaller one room playhouse by this same manufacturer and we were reluctant to add another piece so large, but it was a HUGE hit. We bought this set for our 5 year old daughter, but once built we found that all of the neighborhood kids (and some of our family friends up to age 12) joined in the fun. Plan a long weekend to put it together, but expect outstanding customer support. We were missing a couple of pieces which were immediately replaced by the manufacturer. TIPS: 1) Seperate your pieces and take inventory right away. 2) Be careful not to over-tighten the green double swing unit. I don't recommend using a power tool on that one. 3) Spray the pieces front and back with a sealer BEFORE assembly. We assembled and had to seal after the fact. Bad plan. It's a lot of work afterwords. Do the work on the front end and save time and effort plus take care of the task more efficiently and effectively.

I purchased around a year ago. Got lost in transit. Took around 8 weeks for it to finally be delivered. It takes a whole weekend to put together. It is still in good shape. The color has faded some and some of the screws have to be tightened overtime. Overall we a happy with the swing set. I do wish the look out part was a little more safe. The monkey bars are too high up for small children 5 and under to use safely. So we have them blocked off since we have a young kiddo that could get hurt on them.

We had been looking for a play set with great features and an affordable price tag and this is it. Our 5 year old loves it! He absolutely loves having picnics at his play set. Set up took us a full day and half with 2-4 adults. The pieces were all labeled well, but pay attention to the orientation of the predrilled holes and where they should line up. The set is sturdy and hardware appears heavy duty. There were a few floor planks that had already had splintering when we installed, that would be my only complaint. Overall we are very satisfied. As of now we have had it up for 3 weeks.
