Ratings & Reviews for Backyard Discovery Skyfort With Tube Slide Residential Wood Playset

We love it so much! Great quality!

Our five and two year old absolutely love this so much! It took a day and a half for a three man crew to put it together. The quality is great, we’ll have memories for a lifetime!

Easy build, good cost, hours of fun

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.

Lots of fun!

My girls love this swing set. It took forever to put together and is very creaky, but other than that no complaints!

kids love it, annoying to put together

soo many little pieces, definitely organized the bags in order, material feels a bit cheap but so far (3months) it's holding up, the kids (2.5 & 1.5 year old love it & play with it everytime they're outside,

Excellent

We love this Swingset. It was fun to build and our kids play on it every day. Definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Absolutely love it

I searched for over a year for the perfect backyard playground and I’m happy I chose this one I’m a mother with terrible anxiety and absolutely hate the park but I have kids that love being outside so a great compromise was a playground and this was absolutely the right choice

Best Playset!

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!

Good not great.

My kids are having a real good time on it. However, it is not the best for anyone I would say is over 80 pounds. A the wood floors are just plywood and it gets a little creaky when I go up there to seal coat the whole thing.

Worth Every Penny!

Our kids absolutely love this play set. Everything from ordering to working with the assembly company was smooth and efficient.

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 ...

Great Playset! Very sturdy

Bought this play set for our 3 & 4 year old. It’s been a great investment! They love playing on it after school and especially with their cousins when they come over. Really impressed with the quality of the materials used. Hurricane Milton just came through and there was no damage. Would definitely recommend.

Satisfied with SkyFort III!

We bought the SkyFort III for our kids this summer and they love it! Is huge and seems sturdy. Took several days to build but the instructions are good. Would recommend!

Great swing set

I will agree with some other reviews that the swings and trapeze are a little too close together, but other than that this is a really great play set. The key to building it is organization. I built the sub-modules myself then took the time to make up each step (wood and hardware) before I had a couple friends come over for the main build. We had it knocked out in about 8 hours including several beer breaks. The quality of wood is very good, not perfect, but I wasn’t missing any pieces and didn’...

For a birthday

We could not have been happier with the swing set! Our grandchildren are enjoying it tremendously!

Happy kiddos

My kids loves it like evrything. We just build it togther with some of our friends and relatives.

Kids Love It!

Kid love it. Great build. Will say there are way too many different screws and bolts to manage. I built it myself. Took a few days but was worth the joy it brings to my kids.

Everything we need!!

Got the skyfort3 for our yard for our grandchildren. We knew we really only needed swings and slides and this was perfect for that. It has a great sandbox area under the fort space and enough room in the fort space for a couple of kids.

My opinion

For the price I just expected things to be better quality. The straight slide is a thin piece of plastic held up by a couple bars underneath and the two sides of the slide. Very cheap feeling. The tube slide is also very very thin material. Wood also seems just cheap and started to crack in some places when screwing in screws. Overall I wouldn't purchase again.

Skyfort III

We are just about to finish putting our together. It definitely takes sometime and is really a 2 person job. I would suggest spending some time organizing the parts so you dont spend more time then needed looking for the "right" piece. Its a quality product that I look forward to watching the grandkids play on for years to come

BIG TEDIOUS ASSEMBLY

This is a very cool set, assembly is a NIGHTMARE. I had 6 men, all experienced in labor to include one deck builder. Took 1.5 days with a big crew. TOO MANY various hardware pieces. There has to be a way to simplify and reduce the variations of hardware. THIS IS NOT A DIY for your average family. GREAT SET ONCE DONE. Great set once installed. Wood is pretty soft though. If you want a set to last for 20 years, this set may not be for you. Not heavy duty. Great set once installed. Wo...
