Great Playset! Very sturdy

Bought this play set for our 3 & 4 year old. It’s been a great investment! They love playing on it after school and especially with their cousins when they come over. Really impressed with the quality of the materials used. Hurricane Milton just came through and there was no damage. Would definitely recommend.

A PAIN!

Beautiful playground set a complete pain to build. Took my husband and I 4 days working from sun up to sun down. The wood splits and some parts don’t go in evenly. The tube slide was a complete nightmare. You have to manually put in all the bolts and there’s SO MANY which makes it that much worse! The instructions for the tube slide were terrible as far as lining the parts up because we had to rebuild it 4 times just to get it right. We regret not paying someone to build it for us. If we have to do it again we are definitely paying someone. Not an easy project.

Exactly What We Wanted!

We purchased this as an early birthday present for our soon to be 3 yr old. We didn’t want to run into shipping or out of stock issues, since his birthday is in July. This unit arrived within 14 days of being ordered. Everything came as promised and went so smoothly with the delivery. We hired a local expert to install it as we just didn’t have the time. He installed this unit in one day, by himself and everything went together perfectly! We are super impressed at this time! Our son LOVES his new “fort”!! Thank you!

Looks great, lots of play areas

We bought this a month ago, took three weekends to build. We had to rebuild the brace for the circular slide because it didn’t fit right. The boys love it, especially the lookout. It was a great price for being so large. The maintenance seems a lot just to keep the warranty, ie monthly and annual maintenance requirements. You’ll need to be handy to build yourself. We’re very happy with it!

Adventure Time

Talk about a product that will keep your kids active and preoccupied for hours. There is so much to do on this set. My daughter is two years old and she has fun climbing the stairs and going down the winding slide. She liked to climb to the little tower and using the microscope. This is a product for all ages to enjoy.

Kids love it

It took quite awhile to set up and the instructions were a bit hard to follow, but overall great quality. It’s sturdy and large enough for kids maybe even up to 10-12, but my 2 year old can climb up the ladder and play on it with no problem. Really great addition to our yard!

Everything about it is great! Smooth set-up

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my kid, shes only two but can still do everything but the rock wall. This is one the kids can grow into for sure. Me and my wife can even hang out with her in the top fort area and lower deck, we're both about 5'9". We faced the the crows nest towards the cow pasture because our little girl loves looking at the cows haha. Both slides and the swing sets seem sturdy if installed correctly. Now for the install the hard ware was of good quality as with the lumber no spliting. But what I loved was the tool kit they sent no stripping heads and the Philips head but with depth guide was a life saver. There is a lot of slats with the Philips and with out the depth guid you would sink through the boards, so thank you backyard discovery for adding that.

Awesome Swing Set for Great Price!

After looking at multiple websites and swing set options, we decided on the Skyfort III for our son's 2nd birthday. The price was reasonable and the quality is great. It did take a long time to set up but we made a weekend of it with my parents and made some good memories. The tunnel slide is a beast to assemble and has a ton of screws. It took forever! The rest of it was pretty straight forward and we came up with a great system to expedite the process. Our son loves the lookout and we're excited for him and his sister to have this for many years to come.

terrible

the directions say "plan one day for sorting pieces" the box placement for each pieces is ridiculous... for example, i needed 10 m75. there were two in one box, three on one box, and five in another box. Having to sort through these pieces was a nightmare. the directions leave a lot to be desired. Luckily, I have enough sense to know how to interpret the nonsense. My experience with the ignorant packing ruined my opinion of this set. Dont pack these boxes this stupid. the set is nice and sturdy.

Love love love

We bought this nearly a year ago and we absolutely love it. Our kiddos are 2 and 5 and it's perfect for them now and to grow into. Fave features: crow's nest, disc swing, both slides! We got the lumber treated and hope to do so every year, but so far it's held up to the elements really well.
