Its nice for the price

This is a great swing set for the price. It’s made from China cedar but should still last a while. The kids absolutely love it. I’ve had it assembled for about 3 months and have definitely noticed it starting to fade already. I’ll be staining and sealing it this fall. Overall we are pretty satisfied. Customer service is DEFINITELY great. If your missing parts (which ours was) they’ll ship them out quickly.

Best Playset!

The Skyfort III has been a staple piece in our backyard since we had it installed last spring! It looks amazing, the kids and neighbor kids LOVE it, and WE (parents) love it :) Highly recommend to anyone with one or multiple kids. The wood is extremely sturdy with high quality pieces. We cannot say enough good things about it!

My opinion

For the price I just expected things to be better quality. The straight slide is a thin piece of plastic held up by a couple bars underneath and the two sides of the slide. Very cheap feeling. The tube slide is also very very thin material. Wood also seems just cheap and started to crack in some places when screwing in screws. Overall I wouldn't purchase again.

Great value

I bought this for my kids and they love it. My kids are 6 and 3, it’s a great size for them now and should last for several more years. It’s a good size for our yard, some other play sets are much too big. I thought the amount of features you get for the cost was great, this was a third of the price another local company charges for playset with install. My only complaint is how many pieces it comes in and the time to install however we were prepared from reading other reviews we just secretly hoped it would be faster. My husband took a week off of work and it took the majority of his regular work schedule but he did it alone with my help on a few minor things with the twisty slide.

Fantastic Fort !!

Purchased the Skyfort III a couple weeks ago for our grandson. It was delivered within days and the Installers came this week to assemble it at their home. Now we cannot get a three-year-old out of it!! We're couldn't have picked a better swing/climb/slide/explore fort for him. He loves it. Worth every penny! And do yourself a favor and pay for the expert installation. The crew was fantastic and did a great job to assure it's safe for him to use.

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!

Variety of Fun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My grand-kids love playing in the Sky-fort. They race to try and do everything it has to offer; the different swings, climb the rock wall, get up into the crows nest and peer out across the neighborhood thru the spyglass, race down the wave slide and the twisting tube slide. And when it's lunch time. they love sitting at the built-in bench and table.

Grandson Really Enjoys

I wanted my grandson to have a playset that he could really enjoy and to get good exercise. I researched the market for an optimal playset which much evaluation of the features and cost. I really feel like I researched all playsets currently on the market but I eventually keep returning to the Skyfort III. I have had this playset for almost three weeks now and has been very difficult to make my grandson stop playing to eat of go to bed! He thoroughly enjoys this playset and my wife and I are happy that my grandson is very happy. The design and construction of this playset appears to be very complete which means I'll expect years of good use. I would definitely recommend this unit and consider me a satisfied customer!!

Perfect fit for the yard

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is a great product! We bought this for my grandsons and they absolutely love it! Their favorite part of the playground is the swings and lookout tower. We gave it a rating of 4 because if you do not weather proof it after being built the wood begins to peel. Also if you don't have professional help or more than a group of people the playground may take a while to build. But in all we love it!

The kids love it

We've had this set for a year. To be perfectly honest, putting everything together was a long process. All the pieces were scattered throughout 4 boxes, so we had to sort everything; and then we decided to seal each piece before putting it all together. However, it was totally worth the effort! The play set looks great. The kids love playing on it and are out there every day that they can. They even ask to eat lunch out there. Definitely worth the time, effort and cost!
