First off, the kids love it. Overall construction was easy, the manual stated 23 hours for 2 people. It took 8 hours with 2 people and about 10 with only me. There were a few steps that should've been moved earlier in the manual (i.e. boards going between other parts that were connected previously, this required loosening the earlier parts to fit the later part in snuggly). I did have to trim one of the roof boards, because it was assembled half an inch off. Only half the floor board holes lined up. 2 of the wall anchors ended up in the same space as floor joists (I verified all the impacted boards and it was a design issue). Overall I like it, but would have liked to see thicker lumber for the floor joists. It would also be nice to have an option to pay for an upgraded hardware kit (i.e. all stainless bolts and deck screws). It has survived multiple windstorms and sheds water really well. Overall, I'd recommend it.

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!

Went together pretty well, good alignment overall. Could use some minor improvement in instructions to ensure predrilled holes and pilot holes are clearly shown in figures and some pieces did not have legible part number stamp (dark wood pieces). Again overall well planned and actually pretty easy assembly. Nice product and quality materials!

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

[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.

We bought this for our son and he loves it. Well built, easy to put together. I downloaded the app for the installation instructions and it took us about 16 hours total (2 people with construction experience). My only negative was the delivery. It was delayed and rescheduled.

We bought this backyard Skyfort 3 last fall. The quality of this unit was excellent very good materials and connections. We had one issue with a cracked piece which was promptly replaced with in a day with no problems. The unit has seen one winter with no fading or damage from snow and rain.

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.

This is a very nice play set! I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Our kids (4 & 2) are loving it! My biggest suggestions are: 1) Use the BILT app!! It provides 3D images and directions that help tremendously. 2) Organization is key before you begin! Lay all the boards out in order and same for the bolts, screws, etc. This saves a lot of time. 3) Recruit a friend or two. I was able to build over 50% of it alone but the base of the fort, roof, swing beam, and tube slide require additional assistance. 4) Build the tube slide once it’s attached to the play set. I read a review where someone tackled the tube slide this way and it seemed easier. The tube slide is a PAIN! My husband almost threw in the towel at bolt #100! All in all, it’s a great set. Holes lined up well and we did not have any pieces of wood that were damaged. The wood will splinter/crack if you are not careful though. Good luck!! It’s worth the sweat, blood, and curse words. :)

We bought this over the summer and are so happy with it. It comes with a lot of pieces and took a while to put together but it was totally worth it. Our kids love it and it’s really great quality. We hung the web swing that we already had so the swing pictured is not what comes with the set. The swing included is slightly smaller and black.
