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.

This was the best investment I could’ve done for my two girls. The installers were professional and took every precaution when setting up and making sure the ground was flat. Well-made and my children are out there every day playing after school having fun and burning energy.Paying for quality for a place at this going to last and a lot of cool little options

It took me about 10 days on my own, about 3 hours a day. For me it was like a big lego set. I was very impressed with the level of detail involved. The wood is lightweight but it’s meant for kids. My kids have played on it non stop for 3 weeks now. Not including while I was building it. Well worth the money. Neighbors have been eyeing it, it’s better than our community playground.

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.

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.

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!

Bought for 2 toddlers. Great investment! Assembled solo in about 40 total hours; two people would have been a big help, but not completely necessary. I am 210 lbs, and all components hold me easily, except for the climbing wall. Unaffected by couple of high winds so far. Highly recommend water seal treatment; stain does wear through very quickly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids love it. The price for what you get is hard to beat. I would have liked an option for a better hardware pack i.e. ceramic coated screws, stainless steel bolts, etc. There were also a few steps where the step order could've been improved for to save on build time. The directions could have also been optimized to cluster the two person steps at the beginning. The only thing I didn't like was the use of 1" thick lumber used for structural support - I would've much preferred 2" thick. To save on time, I labeled all the parts (lumber and hardware) with painters tape (so the part numbers were easy to read) and sorted alphabetically. This saved a ton of time.

After waiting for so long due to backorder we finally got this play set delivered and constructed!! I would have given this 5 stars just based on how nice this set looks in your backyard and how much fun your kids will have on it but a few things on install could use some mentioning. My husband is a million times handier than most and while using the built app made the install a lot better than following the paper directions he still had a few complaints. If you are wondering it did take about 20 or so hours to fully construct! He highly recommends pre drilling a lot of screw holes, especially when constructing the rock wall because the wood is very very dry, at least ours was, when we received it. A few of our boards arrived already cracked or cracked easily when a screw was inserted and we had to wood glue them back together. If you have access to an impact gun this was an extremely useful tool on install and will definitely shorten the length of time required. Other people suggested sorting all the pieces and hardware which we did and it made life a lot easier also. The step by step built app was pretty amazing so make sure your phone is fully charged too!! Last but not least the tube slide....ugh. Definitely the most difficult piece to construct. The worst part was their wasn’t enough room to get a screw gun in the right sport to screw the screws to the bolts. It would have been much better if these were Allen heads instead of screws. But when all is said and done, much like child birth, once it is fully constructed you forget about all your hard labors and get to enjoy your kids playing on a beautiful set!! Good luck!

Great price and it was easy to build solo. As others said, layout all pieces and screws. Then read the directions a couple times. After that, its super easy for most people. My kids and friends have had many hours of fun on it. Cant wait for many years of play.
