Skyfort is awesome!!

Our 2.5 year old son just got his Skyfort and loves it. Actually so does his 8 yr old nephew too! Customer service was very helpful in finding the right player for our family. The BILT all made things so easy.highly recommend this play set and Backyard Discovery!

Great Purchase

I spent a couple of months searching playset options before settling on this one. We have a three year old and a one year old with another on the way. It took almost a full day for the crew to assemble, but since then our kids have played on it almost every day. We turned the bottom section into a sand box to add another fun option for them. Currently they are a little scared to go into the crow's nest area, but the really enjoy all of the other features. I also spent a day putting sealant on the wood parts of the playset to hopefully help it weather the winter. Overall I'm pretty pleased with the purchase so far.

The Fort
5 out of 5 stars review

Everything kids need for the backyard

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.

Great Swingset with some room for improvement

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought my swingset almost a year ago now. Has held up great out in the weather. My only wish was that the "swings section" was a little more spaced out and a little higher off the ground. My kid is only 3 and her feet are kicking the ground already. I can raise the seat up but since the whole thing is rather low it makes for a pretty short pendulum. I would also spring to have someone else build it..... took 3 guys with construction backgrounds just about the whole weekend to build

Holy Wowzers!

Took about a month for shipping and cost almost what I paid for it to have a contractor put it together over three entire days, but I have to say- totally worth it seeing my little boy’s face when he saw it the first time. He calls it “our house” and I have to admit, it is pretty impressive. Not the base metal swing set I had growing up that’s for sure. Survived 60mph winds the second night in the yard- took shingles off my neighbors house and no power for two days but nary a scratch on the swing set. Seems like it will last numerous years. Only giving four stars because of the extra three weeks from what I was told originally on the shipping and the difficulty in putting together. The contractor said it had more parts than the last mini house he built.

Perfect fit for the yard

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This product is a great product! We bought this for my grandsons and they absolutely love it! Their favorite part of the playground is the swings and lookout tower. We gave it a rating of 4 because if you do not weather proof it after being built the wood begins to peel. Also if you don't have professional help or more than a group of people the playground may take a while to build. But in all we love it!

Sky fort III

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this for our grandsons 2nd birthday. We had to pay someone else to assemble because we’re not handy. After it was installed my 2 year old loves it and plays on it constantly. It’s definitely a set that he’ll grow with.

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.

Skyfort iii

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.

Love love love

We bought this nearly a year ago and we absolutely love it. Our kiddos are 2 and 5 and it's perfect for them now and to grow into. Fave features: crow's nest, disc swing, both slides! We got the lumber treated and hope to do so every year, but so far it's held up to the elements really well.
