Loving the fort!

The kids are loving it! From the 13 year old to the 1 year old, they love the swings, fort and climbing features of this set. When we received the boxes, I sorted and organized all of the materials. I had 4 friends help me and we got it put together in one day.

Exactly What It Says It Would Be

This is actually the first review I've ever taken the time to give, but I am doing so because of the great experience we have had. We built a large two-tiered retaining wall on a steep slope so that we would be able to put this in our backyard. The construction on that got delayed because of weather, but I was able to talk to the delivery company of the play set (because it is a scheduled delivery) and they conveniently held on to it for a week until I was ready for it to be delivered. I also paid to have it assembled and was VERY impressed by the company that did this (reached out to me to work with my schedule since someone has to be home and were very accommodating when I had to reschedule the installation). The two guys took less than 6 hours to put it up and it would have taken me two weeks. Our son absolutely loves this and we have received many compliments from others in the neighborhood since it has been up. I would definitely recommend this play set.

Skyfort II is awesome!

Bought the skyfort ii + assembly by GOConfigure. Excellent product and builder did a great job! 6 year old son absolutely loves it. 4 big boxes arrived promptly and delivery team kindly placed them in my garage. GoConfigure had to reschedule twice but was worth the wait because Anthony did a pro job. He builds these all the time and took him less than 8 hours. Finished product is great and we are happy. Wood is very lightweight but sturdy. Wood is pre stained but we will be putting another coat to get the most out of it for years to come. Builder told us that it is covered under warranty for 18 months. Any piece breaks they will send replacement and he will install it. I really hope that is true because that sounds great!

Great playset once it's set up

Great playset. Put it together myself, took about 4 half days. The hardest part is digging through all the boxes and parts to find the right pieces, especially early on. If you have help I would recommend just having someone organize the pieces by letter group, this would save a lot of time. As a lot of people say pay attention to the pilot holes. My one big critique is some of the directions are dark and it's hard to see the pilot holes especially on the bigger support beams on the corners but if you look ahead (sometimes several steps) you will be able to see where they are. I too built the whole crows nest on the ground which made it more tricky to lift up onto the swings but it was better then going up and down the ladder and trying to do the rails while it was up there. All in all it's like Legos for adults and was a lot of fun to put together!

Beautiful set with lots of options!

We ordered this and had the assembly team put it together for us. They had it up in 6 hours. I could have never put it together myself!! I’d highly recommend going over the set before your assembly team leaves though. My son absolutely loves this set. He wakes up and runs to the window to make sure it is still there. I love how many options there are between the different swings, the rock wall, slide and monkey bars. I still have to get sand but really wish it came with a cover to keep animals out. The play house part is much larger than I expected. I can stand up in it. We added a little bin up there of books and small toys. Also going to add a chalkboard to one wall. I hope this set lasts us a long time!

Super instructions

We bought this for our grandchildren and they love it! It does take a few days to assemble, but the instructions are easy to follow and the pieces clearly labeled. With all the hardware sorted and labeled it was no problem to find what was needed. We have already recommended this to a friend.

Huge Playset

We ordered the playset online. It was delivered in approximately 2 weeks. The delivery is curbside and it came in 4 boxes totalling 750lbs. Luckily my neighbor was home and offered to load it into the back of his truck from the semi and drive it to the backyard. Our driveway is 120ft long, so it would have been difficult moving the boxes. Putting it together took approximately 24 hours, with 2 people assembling and 1 person searching and gathering parts. The parts are not in order in the boxes so i suggest laying all the wooden parts, seperating them into groups. I did this at the end of day 1, after we worked on it for 8 hours. It made day 2 much easier. I also suggest looking ahead a few pages before assembling sections. One of the main beams has a pretty good size chunk thats damaged, it is just esthetic, but disappointing. Overall, my daughter loves it and we hope it lasts her many years.

Cute but cheap material

Fell in love with this swing set for the boys so I knew we had to have it.. Sam’s has it priced right but when I went to purchase the price went up almost $500!!! Still purchased because I promised my boys.. After it was build the wood started peeling, just not great quality as far as material. The slide is made out of a flimsy material and not a hard slide at all..

Overall - great set with lots of accessories!

Some pros...1) Great assortment of features on this set up. Our two year old (under supervision of course) loves her new playset. 2) beautiful colors. 3) looks great in our backyard. 4) fast shipping, however... they didn't notify us of delivery as specified (it ended up working out just fine tho). Some cons... 1) build time - took two handymen about 28 hours total to fully build. 2) the reason we gave it four stars - not as sturdy as we were hoping for. 3) we wish the stairs and Rockwall were interchangeable - had to drill new wholes to accommodate the switch. Overall, we are very happy with the playset! I will update if we find it doesn't hold up.

Have help and time off

I like this playset and for the price cant beat it. Time consuming lots of parts hard to find. Lay everything out and put together some of the stuff that can be attached later. Have someone help you and dont try to rush it. You will not put it up in a day..2 days if you have time or about a week doing some here and there..it does get more sturdy once everything is done.
