Skyfort III review

Although there was a lot of pieces, the instructions were clear, and the parts and hardware were marked well. Good quality materials and I would recommend to others

Skyfort with tube slide

We purchased the skyfort with tube slides and this thing is awesome. The kids love it and the construction feels really sturdy. We had assembly included and the company that did the install were very professional and fast.

Work of Love

Definitely took time to assemble but has all the features we wanted and our little one LOVES it! The curly slide definitely takes multiple people to install once it is assembled to get it just right in the platform.

Pretty Good

The playset looks great and my son loves it! We hired professionals to out it together. My only complaint is that it doesn't feel as solid as I thought it would be. It feels like it could break if jumped on or too many kids played on it.

It'll take a weekend to put together.

I put together by myself over the weekend took two 8-hour days to get it done. I laid everything out on two tarps. Used the packing slip to find the parts needed for the step I was on. Daughter likes it.

Great customer service from backyard discovery

We had a huge issue (weather related) while putting our swingset together and backyard discovery gave us amazing customer service. Highly recommend for that alone.

Love the swing set!

This swing set looks incredible but the set up took a long time. My husband and I worked on it for four days. The instructions say it takes two people, 23 hours. I would say that is pretty accurate. We also had our three young children “helping”. The app instructions were incredible because the paper directions don’t tell you step by step how to put it together. It helps to be organized. As for the stakes at the very end make sure your ground is wet before you attempt to drill them in. Our girls love this play set and I would recommend more than two people putting it together to speed up the process.

great playground

Very sturdy, clear instructions, kids love it, and looks beautiful. The directions stated it would take 23 hrs for two people to put it together - I did it by myself and it took me 30 hrs. Though it would’ve been much easier with a second person ;) just a note - don’t tighten the bolts too tight or it will start to splinter.

Very Nice Playset

I bought this set a few weeks ago after avoiding it for a few years. I am very happy we purchased this set. The instructions were very good and the app they recommended using to view instructions was great. This has enough spare hardware in case you lose one. I had a piece missing and one that had a crack it it. I contacted the 800 number as shown in the instructions and had my pieces delivered in a few days. I took the work on it for a few hours a day approach so I wouldn’t get irritated building it. This was a good approach rather than try and cram it into a weekend and get stressed over it.

Great playset

Fantastic playset with clear instructions and a fantastic app to walk you through. Also includes plenty of spare hardware in case you lose anything. My 6 year old loves it, although I'm a not sure how long before he will be too big for it. With 2 people it was about a 25 hour build using power tools for the screws and bolts.
