Purchased the skyfort-ii back in March. Had a company do the install because I dont have the patience for this type of assembly. Only con I have about this set is that the screws that come with it are horrible! One on the monkey bars was snapped off and luckily it was me who tried it out cause a kid probably would have gotten hurt falling that far. Bought extra cedar boards for the sandbox area and extended the flooring.

Took me about 60hrs to build by myself over a months time, gotta pace yourself. I also stained/resealed as I went for longevity. Also make sure to flag hardware packs with tape and relabel in numerical order, and put back as you go. Saves a lot of time. In the end, the happiness it’s brought my kids is worth 1000 times the cost of the product. It’s well built and the whole family can fit in the tower too!!

With 4 grandsons ages less than a year through 6, I was looking for something that would last for many years to come and that would allow bigger kids as well as younger kids to have fun on it. Due to Covid, all playgrounds in our area had been closed for months so that accelerated my buying - what normally would have been a Christmas present. We purchased the set-only, not with assembly included. My son-in-law and a team of his friends spent a Saturday putting it together and, although took a while, everything was there and they were able to assemble with no problem that I am aware of. It IS VERY HEAVY AND HAS A LOT OF PIECES, as others have mentioned so having more than one or two work together is best. We all think this set is even nicer, in person, than we expected - and the 3 of 4 grands that are old enough to play on it really love it! I highly recommend this set!

During a time when our childrens’ lives are anything but normal, the Skyfort II brought a welcome smile to their faces, and the wonderful sound of laughter to our backyard. Our girls love the large fort and crows nest, and they spend hours alternating between swinging on the swings, and climbing on the monkey bars. I elected to assemble the playset on my own, which was a large task, but very managable with some organization of the pieces and hardware at the outset. I also chose to pre-treat every piece of wood with a water sealer/UV protectant semi-transparent stain, prior to assembly. To enhance the usability of this playset for our daughters, I covered the sandbox area with additional cedar plank flooring, creating an even larger ground floor pinic and play area. With so many restrictions and closures at present, the Skyfort II was the perfect way to create a safe, full featured playground for our daughters, in our own backyard.

We bought the fort for our grand kids because the parks were all closed down due to the Pandemic. Since the parks have opened back up the grand kids come over now more than ever!! They love the fort! If you can't be the cool Grandparents at least have the cool stuff! Which we do now!

My 3 kids love the set. This set had exactly what we were looking for- 3 swings, slide, rock wall. The monkey bars are good as well because they're not quite big enough to master them so it will give them some growing room. We looked at every kind of playscape you can imagine and took months to figure out which one we wanted (after we got over sticker shock). The price for what you get is pretty good. The free shipping was great. We used the install company listed on the sam's club website (NEW) and they were a joke. I recommend hiring someone else to do the install. If you have no idea how to put these together it will take you a few days. It's not a one day project. Our "professional" took 5 days. I only gave it 3 stars for quality because after only a month the wood began to peel. Yes, I should have stained it right away but I didn't have time the first month it went up.

This is the best investment ever and I tell every parent out there, if you don’t have one, you are missing out. We built this ourselves, it took us 3 days about 6 to 8 hours each, taking out time and pacing ourselves to do it perfect so it was safe for the kids. You could pay someone, but I tell you, they won’t do as good of a job, they’ll have a bunch of screws left in the end. With the app, it’s extremely easy to build, just takes some time to make sure everything is where it belongs. Quality is good, all the parts were there. The value for this playground is amazing, we shopped around and there is nothing this nice at this price. We are very happy with our purchase.

My husband put it together. He said it was fairly easy to put it together. He recommends going through to make sure you have all the parts and keeping boxes separated. He said it took roughly 24 hours to assemble. The kids love it. It's very attractive looking in the yard too. We purchased it through Sams because it was $500 less than it was with a competitor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All of my grandchildren love the new swing set. My grandson enjoys climbing up into the fort. All the children spend several hours a day swinging, climbing, digging and sitting at the table enjoying their snacks. This was a great investment that they will use for many years.

We bought our set last summer. It took a full day to put together, but the hardware and and pre-drilled holes made it a smooth process. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. The kids love it and we have had no issues at all. Great quality and durability, plus it looks really nice in the backyard. Two of our neighbors have since purchased the same set after we recommended it. One had some damage from a wind storm and the company shipped them replacement parts quickly and free of charge. You can’t beat that customer service.
