I bought this prior to the quarantine for my kids and it has been an awesome purchase. Ended up assembling myself over the span of a week (not recommended, you really need an extra hand for holding/lifting, etc), and had to improvise in some areas where the screws just spun, wood was slightly warped, etc. The wavy slide is a bear to put together because you have to bend the plastic sheet into the side brace thst creates the bumps, which took me FOREVER (may be easier with 2 people, but still difficult). Also you have to coat this set with a waterproof sealer every year or risk voiding your warranty. Do this on the assembled pieces BEFORE you assemble the entire structure, especially the roof (it'll be 12 ft in the air and super difficult to do after). I used Thompson's Water Seal clear (no stain). It's oil based. The instructions also mention to organize all of your wood by alphanumeric (M27, H5, etc) but for each section that you build, the wood can be in anyone of 4 large boxes, so unless you plan to knock it out in 2 days, I don't recommend taking all the wood out and sorting as putting them back in the boxes is almost impossible. Each box has a list of which pieces are in each box, so just have the boxes laying side by side, and use the lists when you need to find a piece of wood. Makes it 100% easier. Also be sure to keep your fasteners in their respective bags. There are a ton and you will mix them up. Only slight complaint is there were several fasteners brand new in a package that were not used for this project at all. Made me search through the manual like 35 times to be sure I didn't miss them. Make sure you're putting this on a flat surface. I had to cut the rock wall legs a little shorter to fit my yard but you may have to grade some areas like I did for them to be safe and level. Don't let any of what I'm saying deter you, I'm just putting out there all that I went through in the process. This is a really good set and my 3 year old and 18 month old love it. They're able to climb up the ladder easily and safely, although just be sure to watch them near the rock wall entrance.

We bought this for our kids for Christmas. We received it and it sat for a couple weeks. Some of the bolt packages came open in the box so there was a lot of having to guess what bolt went where. Overall great product. It did take me and a friend 57 man hours to assemble. But we were able to keep it hidden until Christmas morning after finishing it Christmas Eve.

We bought the sky fort with kids slide in the summer of 2022. We have a 4 year old and a 2 year old who love both slides and rock wall morning and night. The straight slide is a bit fast for the wild no fear 2 year old but he loves it. Assembly was a full weekend process but if the instructions are followed things go together easily. I found it best to pull everything out, sort items alphabetical by box and referred to the packing list as I needed each item.The finish so far is holding up but I believe I will need to apply a protective coating later this year, due to California sun damage.

I could not have anticipated the amount of fun and joy this set brought our family! First off, I decided putting it together would be FUN! And fulfilling! And guess what…. I was RIGHT! The family did not believe me at first, but truly, the directions were super easy to follow, and my husband, daughter, and small son put it together all by ourselves! It is imperative that you organize all the pieces. I cannot stress that enough. We took the morning to organize, and started building in the afternoon. All-in-all, I’d say it took two weekends to get it fully completed. We took our time. There is definitely a pride factor, in doing it yourself. If you have some patience, time, and energy, I highly recommend it. As for the play set itself… it’s phenomenal. We all absolutely love it. My husband is a big, muscle guy and it supports him, no problem. The kids have found countless hours of fun playing. I have too :). I’m so glad that after extensive research, we settled upon this play set.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have three kids who love to swing, the set offers enough room for all to swing comfortably. I noticed that the set shakes horribly when all three kids are swinging. I hired a professional company to construct it. Only seems to shake/shutter when the swings are producing torque.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in the Spring for my grandkids. I don't think they have missed a day of playing on it. They all three are on it all day. The swings are great and the slides are the best they have had!

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.

I got this for my twin grandsons. The price was right and it had tons of features to keep the boys out of moms hair fir a bit and burn some of that energy! My husband and a friend put it together in about three days. The only problem was in replacing the slide that arrived damaged. It did arrive Eventually so I cant complain really.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last spring as the old second hand swing set was in bad shape and wanted my grandchildren to have a safe place to play in my yard. My youngest grand son was so excited when it was delivered and he saw the picture on the box he ran up to the delivery driver and hugged him tight. The poor driver spoke no english but got the meaning of the hug. They had lost there grandfather 6 months prior and had been very sad. I wanted to cheer them up and give them something that would last a life time like their memories and I believe we did just that! In 2 days it was up and they were having a ball.

We bought this in the fall for our 2 year old. We are very happy with it so far. He loves it and can easily climb up the ladder and the rock wall and loves to go down the slides over and over. It is not the easiest to put together and we did so ourselves. I had a couple people help and it is a 2 to 3 day job.
