Great product for price

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.

great piece for the price

well made for the price, won't last as long as more expensive sets but neither will your kids' enthusiasm as they get older. lots of bells and whistles/ great aesthetic touches throughout. 2 man build time for me and my buddy was 17 hours, advise having a variety of extra screws around as they get tight towards the end

Lovely Playset!

The playset looks wonderful but my only guidance to others is make sure you communicate very clearly beforehand to the installers exactly how you want it put up. Unfortunately in my situation they asked my spouse the side she wanted the swings as I was not home but failed to explain that this would make the playset face away from the home. When i arrived home it was too late to adjust so it's forever looking at my neighbors home. If it were not for this it would be a 5 star rating.

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.

Discovery swing set with great slides

[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!

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.

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!!

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.

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!

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
