We purchased the skyfort with tube slides and this thing is awesome. The kids love it and the construction feels really sturdy. We had assembly included and the company that did the install were very professional and fast.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely amazing swing set. Really impressed with the quality of the product and all the features.

I purchased this for my granddaughters, ages 2 & 5. They absolutely love it! From the amazing crow’s nest with telescope to the two slides, they never want to end their play!

I put together by myself over the weekend took two 8-hour days to get it done. I laid everything out on two tarps. Used the packing slip to find the parts needed for the step I was on. Daughter likes it.

We had a huge issue (weather related) while putting our swingset together and backyard discovery gave us amazing customer service. Highly recommend for that alone.

Ok, so I thoroughly read the reviews and was plenty prepared to work on it for a while. Yes the wood splits terribly, yes it takes FOREVER!!! So I got it on Saturday afternoon, worked on it until dark, then from 10am Sunday til dark, Monday from 8am until 4pm, then 7pm until dark, Wednesday from 5pm until dark and the only thing left is to finish anchoring it to the ground. Some parts did not line up right so there were gaps. The directions were fairly simple to follow except when telling you to "note hole locations" then never specified which way those holes were supposed to face, so there were a couple boards we had to turn around. Some of the holes didn't line up so we ended up drilling our own holes. We used wood filler to fill the splits in the wood for now but I'm going to just have to replace it eventually. Its wise to lay everything out because some of the numbers on the wood are impossible to read. Tried to upload photos, but that function seems to be broken right now

Highly recommened! Bought the Skyfort III and have been very happy. I built it myself and it DOES take a significant amount of time and effort to build. It took me about 23 hours to build this. The only thing I didnt like is that it does not come waterproofed, it is stained but not waterproofed.

Believe what you read in the reviews about the amount of time it takes to assemble. If I had to do it again I would get a bunch of zip lock bags. Go through each step and lay out the pieces of lumber and the hardware. Then when you start assembling you are not trying to figure it out. Overall I am very pleased with the product and the grandkids are loving it.

I read many mixed reviews about assembly when I bought this play set, for that reason I wanted to come back and note that assembly took about 30 hours for my dad. He does repair and DIY work on his own homes but he's never worked in construction or a similar trade. He enjoys wood work so no complaints from him during assembly. Others reported 50 man hours needing to hire a professional to assemble the set so just FYI that wasn't necessary for us. As far as quality goes, I wish it was a little more durable. It leans and creaks with just one kid swinging on it and the pieces that fence in the crows nest and sandbox platform are easy to knock off. I would expect this after a year or 2 with wear and tear but all of these things started happening within 30 days of putting it up. It's still standing and will be used for many years so not a complete bust BUT if I could do it all over, I'd skip this purchase.

Fantastic playset with clear instructions and a fantastic app to walk you through. Also includes plenty of spare hardware in case you lose anything. My 6 year old loves it, although I'm a not sure how long before he will be too big for it. With 2 people it was about a 25 hour build using power tools for the screws and bolts.
