Kids + adults love it!

The kids love all that there is to do...our kids love the double slides and crows nest! We often have 5-8 kids playing at a time and there’s plenty of room for everyone. The adults love that it’s high quality and looks nice! This is our second build-it-yourself playground and this one is a real winner! It took us two solid weekends to put it together, but all the parts were delivered and in good shape! We’ve had it for 3 months and it’s been a life-saver during this stay at home spring/summer.

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.

Family Fun - From Construction to Use!

It can seem a little intimidating to build this yourself, but the packaging and instructions are very simple. No one in our family has construction experience, just Grandma/Pappa, Mom and Dad with anxious little ones eagerly awaiting lots of play time. The anchors have held the playset securely in 50-70 MPH gusts!

Great playset with a lot of options

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great playset. When we put it together, it is a bit crooked (despite us trying to level it up and make it straight). Several holes were off by a bit so we had to drill out own but we made it work and the kids love it! Assembly wasn't as bad as I expected. The tube slide was the worst part!! Despite those issues, I would absolutely buy again. It's sturdy and looks great.

Awesome Playset - Best Birthday ever!

I bought the Backyard Discovery Skyfort III Swing Set with tube slide for my Grandson’s 4th birthday! It has every thing he wanted in a playset. To note, I’m his 63 year-old Grandmother and assembled most of this play set myself !! It was labor-intensive, with a lot of different pieces and parts. But the instructions were easy to follow, with the part numbers and dimensions listed, and all the wood pieces clearly marked. I agree that it would have helped to have front/back, or up/down marked on the boards to avoid having to take a few things apart and turning it around. (But that’s my bad – not the manufacturer’s fault.) It definitely helped that I sorted and organized the different components before starting. I.e.; Putting all the hardware in labeled baggies (using the last 3 digits of the part number) and sorting the wood into groups alphabetically. All the M’s in this pile, H’s in this pile, etc. Less time spent searching for a particular board or bolt later on. It probably took me a little longer because I was teaching the soon-to-be-4-year-old how to use the basic tools we needed to put this together and pausing to share the excitement of how much he enjoyed “helping” me every step of the way! Sadly, my Grandson lost both of his Grandfathers, his Great Grandfather, and Uncle, just a few months before he was born. So even though he is barely 4 years old - It was vitally important to me to try and teach him how the tools work, show him the difference between screws, bolts, nuts, and washers, and help him to experience the joy and satisfaction of seeing the end result of all that effort and hard work!! (Doing my best to teach him all the things my Dad taught me, and wishing the older male role models, he never got to meet, were here to teach him this stuff, instead of Grandma.) This amazing playset was worth every penny I spent on it and every minute of time spent putting it together. He absolutely Loves the Backyard Discovery Skyfort III Swing set, especially the tube slide, and enthusiastically tells me, “Thank You Grandma!!” everyday!! I will cherish the memories this playset has given us, and the opportunity to help a little boy in the process.

Awesome Backyard Addition

We love our Skyfort III. It's the perfect size for my son now and to grow with for several years. We love having the two slides and indoor/outdoor areas of the porch. The footprint is a great size. It took some time to assemble, but wasn't terrible.

A great investment!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My granddaughter loves this playset. Large enough for adults to climb around on with a child. She will enjoy for many years.

Great fun for the kids

I got this for my daughter's 5th birthday. Everything has been great with it besides the instructions on putting it together. Took about 10 hrs but had to flip boards a few times. Still squeeking after 6 months but over all love it.

My son loves it

It gets 4 stars because I had to cut some of the wood pieces down to get all the pieces to fit together. If you don't have a lot of tools, id call someone to install it.
