Believe what you read in the reviews about the amount of time it takes to assemble. If I had to do it again I would get a bunch of zip lock bags. Go through each step and lay out the pieces of lumber and the hardware. Then when you start assembling you are not trying to figure it out. Overall I am very pleased with the product and the grandkids are loving it.

Highly recommened! Bought the Skyfort III and have been very happy. I built it myself and it DOES take a significant amount of time and effort to build. It took me about 23 hours to build this. The only thing I didnt like is that it does not come waterproofed, it is stained but not waterproofed.

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.

So we bought this earlier this year for my daughters second birthday. I looked at countless reviews for the Florida heat and rain, and seemed like a perfect fit. Well we got hit with Hurricane Ian at a high category 4 hurricane then with Nicole. Not only is it still standing but in perfect condition. Great buy! Just make sure you put the weather coating paint on.

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.

My friend and I have building experience. This took us 6hrs on day one + 10 to 12hrs of me working solo to complete. We used the paper instructions, but the app was very cool and came in handy for a couple of sections where the image wasn't 100% clear. For me it was too hot to keep my cell outside with the instructions as it would have overheated. Day one we had all the parts organized on the lawn, but we didn't have the hardware organized. We probably lost about an hour of work just looking for the right pieces of hardware with each step. Before starting day two I took 20 mins to sort ALL hardware by color coding and labeling with much bigger numbers. The build after that went SIGNIFICANTLY faster, even though I was solo at that point. DO NOT try to put the twirl slide together solo. That is the one part you need assistance with no matter your experience level. It is just too big and awkward to hold. In the end, we have 0 missing pieces, and 0 damaged parts, other than the ones we damaged. For the damaged hardware we had more than enough spares to not hold us up (stripped screws/bolts). So far the kids love it, and want to play on it day in and out. Next step is to stain, then plan out a rubber mulch bed. Final recommendations: 1) Build start to finish with 2 people. 2) If you have a third, dedicate them entirely to organizing/labeling the parts as you go (collecting the parts for the next step w/ the hardware already picked out). A third person could cut hours back on the full build, and they don't need to do any of the heavy lifting. 3) If you don't have a third, do no start until you are properly organized, it will save you lots of frustration. 4) Plan for a long build. Check weather in advance/get your bug spray & sun screen 5) Have multiple drills (we used 2 impact drivers for 95% of the work and 1 drill. 2 drills would be better, one with each drill bit size for quick access). This ate up 2 full battery charges so have a spare one ready if you can so you don't stop your progress.

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.

I jus finish putting this up for my lil guy.he absolutely loves it,the crows nest is very unique and he happy to be up so high,highly recommend

Great value and great experience in regards to delivery, setup, and quality. Kids are loving it. Would recommend this brand to others.
