Wonderful for all seasons!

I bought this set earlier last year and it has been a wonderful edition not only to our backyard, but as a facilitating activity location for the kids. This playset is great during all kinds of weather and can make for a great time getting some exercise with the kids. It was fun and a little challenging to put together ourselves, but that was to be expected. Overall, a great purchase to consider!!

My daughter loves this set. Nothing feels cheap on it. It did take my husband a couple of days to put together but it was well worth the wait. My only suggestion is to stamp the wood better bc it got tough trying to read the stamps on the wood to put it together. The delivery was great got it quicker than we were supposed to.

Great playset

Kids got this for Christmas it is a great playset. Many activities for kids to do. This is our 2nd playset by Backyard Discovery. The first one had the tunnel on top. We do miss the tunnel but the monkey bars on the skyfort are a hit with my 4 yr old daughter. They love the crow's nest and picnic table attached is a hit with both kids! Only reason I gave 4 stars is because personally I fell they should have made the swing beam longer as to where when kids are on all 3 swings they wouldn't be so close to one another swinging. The other playset had more space between the swings. Because you know how kids like to start swinging sideways and then one hits the other and the screaming starts.

Kids love it

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!!

A great investment to get your kids outside

My parents and I coordinated the purchase of the Skyfort II for my three kids (10, 7, and 5) this past Christmas. Best purchase ever. Even in less than great weather, my kids are clamoring to get outside. That’s right it’s 2023 and my kids want to be outside. My 10 year old is pushing 80 pounds and this equipment is holding firm under his weight on the swing. It’s held up against much larger kids as well. There is no or only barely noticeable twisting or buckling that I had seen on some of our earlier and cheaper play sets. It’s held me as I sat in the fort part of the structure without so much as a creaking of wood and I’m well over 200 pounds. I will say we did pay to have it professionally installed and it was worth it. My kids love it. My wife and I love it. Everyone that’s come to our house love it. I cannot recommend the Skyfort II highly enough.

Great Item

It is a very great item. My kids love it! The instructions wasn't the clearest. I definatley recommend this to others. The crows nest seems to need support under it so we put our own support under it. If you are short anything or anything is broke they replace it fast. The ship out and is here within the next day or two.

Great Product, Son loves it!

This is a great playset. My son loves it. As far as the difficulty of the assembly, it does take time to assemble but very worthy the effort after seeing your child's reaction to palying on it. Directions are straight forward. I was missing a pack of wood screws, but never used them ( directions never called to use them). Great customer service. I do suggest inventorying the four boxes that is shipped to you. Over all, very satisfied!

This Skyfort is great, my grandkids love it. Well worth the money and time to put it together. Took 4 of us to put it together in a weekend. Don't rush it, read the directions. Lay all the boards out and hardware separating them by "letters" & "numbers" makes it a lot easier. If I needed to I would order another one today !!!

Great plat palace

we bought this for our 3 year old daughter. And she loves it. It was challenging for mom and dad to put together but within 3 days it was done! The excitement our daughter had made it worth the struggles to put together. We had to use the app and the direction manual to put it together, neither worked by itself. It seems to be a very sturdy playhouse swing set. Children and adults have been able to swing on it with no problems.

Looks great

Had the playset for about a month now and it looks great. The kids love it. After the install I had to tighten a few screws and resecure one piece of wood. Thise were the only adjustments I had to make. I would recommend calling the installation company in advance as scheduling was difficult to set up.
