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.

Adventure Time

Talk about a product that will keep your kids active and preoccupied for hours. There is so much to do on this set. My daughter is two years old and she has fun climbing the stairs and going down the winding slide. She liked to climb to the little tower and using the microscope. This is a product for all ages to enjoy.

The Girls Love It

I spent days researching playsets before deciding on this one. It has all the features we wanted at a very reasonable price. Shipping and delivery went smoothly. We opted to put it together ourselves over the course of 2 days. It was a challenge but not too difficult for people with some experience. We had 2 pieces missing but customer service got them to us quickly. My girls absolutely love their new play set.

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!!

Hours of Family Fun!

High quality. Extremely pleased. The assembly is intense, so budget plenty of time to complete. Instructions are thorough and detailed. Best to work on with two adults. Well worth the investment of time and money. Will last for many years to come.

A PAIN!

Beautiful playground set a complete pain to build. Took my husband and I 4 days working from sun up to sun down. The wood splits and some parts don’t go in evenly. The tube slide was a complete nightmare. You have to manually put in all the bolts and there’s SO MANY which makes it that much worse! The instructions for the tube slide were terrible as far as lining the parts up because we had to rebuild it 4 times just to get it right. We regret not paying someone to build it for us. If we have to do it again we are definitely paying someone. Not an easy project.

Great gift!

We bought this Skyfort as a Christmas present for my two little kiddos. We have already had neighbor kids come over and play and they all LOVE IT! we normally would have to drive to the park, but no more! It definitely can be assembled at home if you are confident in your building capabilities (my husband assembled ours) and save you some money but give yourselves a few days to do so!

Overall great value!!

Great swing set! My kids: boys 8 and 9 and girl age 2 all enjoy it equally. You can’t beat the cost for what you get! That said, the wood is a little splintery in some places and it doesn’t feel as strong as I would like. Granted, my sons are huge for their age and really tough on it (American ninja warrior type stunts, etc.). I would recommend as I think my daughter will get years of use out if it as long as my sons don’t destroy it in the meantime.

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!
