Ratings & Reviews for Backyard Discovery Skyfort II Residential Wood Playset

Great set for many children to play at once!

We've had this set for about a month. Our kids love it and have spent many hours playing. We chose this particular set for the monkey bars and 3 levels of play. Perfect for multiple kids.

Cool Playset for long term use

All of the pieces are labeled by letter and number. Before assembly we found it helpful to lay out all the pieces by number and letter. This package came in 4 boxes so it will take a day to get everything organized. It also helps to organize all the fasteners in order as well, keep all the fasteners in the packages and just use what you need for that step. The directions were pretty clear and we ended up with no left over wood and plenty of extra fasteners. We over drilled a few of the pilot ho...

Years of fun to come!

We bought this a few weeks and our kids are loving it! It definitely took some time to put together but we did it as a family and couldn't be happier with the results

So much variety of play

We have had this playset for a month or so and we absolutely love it! Our toddler has been wanting a big girl playset and she finally has it. And is obsessed. We put together ourselves and it took a couple days. Instructions were mostly clear, just tedious. Overall great purchase!

Monkey bars for the win!

We bought this for our kids early this spring and they have been playing almost everyday. The monkey bars were the biggest selling point for us. The team was easy to work with and did a great job installing. We are very happy with our choice!

So much fun!

My husband just finished building it this weekend and it came out great! Kids are having a blast on it. Wood split easily in a few places when installing, but other than that everything worked well. Would buy again!

Swingset for grandkids

Bought for my grandkids. They have enjoyed the set very much.

Great Playground!

Excellent playground. Generally an easy build with lots of extra fasteners in case you lose them. Went up in 2 weekends with 1-2 people. High quality and the kids love it!

Fun for years to come!

We are very happy with the purchase of this playground. My husband was able to build it in less than 2 days with some help. Our kids and their friends are having a blast playing and the little table is so fun for outdoor meals! A few of the boards did split slightly when putting it together, but overall it’s really good quality and should provide fun for years to come :)

Keep the boards separated in their delivery boxes

It took us two full days to put a Thompsons Water Seal on every board. Then it took three more days to build the playground. Follow the instructions carefully and you will have no issues. Keep your lists from each box and keep all those boards in the boxes because it makes it easier to find specific boards. So far it has been great. The kids love it! Just another incentive to enjoy time outside in the fresh air.

Great quality and size

We bought and installed this within the last month and are very happy with the playset. Our four year old son loves it, especially the lookout at top and the slide. We are very happy with the size of the playhouse portion, as it will allow for many years of playing without outgrowing it. The quality feels great and was noticeable as my husband and father-in-law installed it. The only thing to note is that it does take awhile to install (12-16 hours) but we know the time invested was worth it alr...

Skyfort 2 is the best

Skyfort 2 is a classic backyard discovery swing set and is always a hit! It's well built and if taken care of properly will last a childs entire childhood. The skyfort part can be a little tricky to install but if you take your time it's worth it.

Kids love it, quality great for backyard structure

We really like this set. The kids love it. The set up is a long process, but if you're able to assemble Ikea furniture you can do this. We turned it into a family activity with music and food and we had fun. If you're organized, you'll rock it. The quality is good and safe for a backyard play set and the customer service was very responsive when we realized we were short a few bolts. Cannot emphasize enough the need to spend time to get yourself organized before you start assembling. Unpa...

Perfect for all ages!

We love it so much! The quality is very durable and strong we have a 4 yr old and a 6 yr old so it’s perfect for them to have enough stuff to play on now and still grow into without getting bored of it in a year or 2. The older cousins love the monkey bars! This is really the perfect okay set for families with lots of kids there is something for every age.

Difficult.

very difficult to assemble.

Great piece except the slide

I bought this a few months ago. My kids really love it but im really unhappy with the slide. On of the main features and no matter how much we try to keep the plastic in place it keeps popping out at the bottom. Really upset since that's the favorite part and we paid quite a bit and we cant even use the slide 😕

Took a while to build. Strained a marriage. Kiddo absolutely loves it. Worth it.

Took a long time to stain and assemble. Directions are fairly easy to follow. Paper instructions and app instructions don't always match up 100% of the time. Spouse used the paper instructions while I used the app. Advantage of paper instructions is being able to see the entire assembly all at once. You only see one small step at a time on the app but you get really detailed 360 degree simulations of each and every step. Any issues I had were almost entirely user error. Overall I enjoyed the ass...

Kids love it.

The kids love it. Built pretty solid wish the monkey bars were a little bit stronger. But overall for the price great deal we paid for the install. We didn’t have to wait in about three weeks after we received it for them to install it food for thought.

Skyfort II with wave slide

Our set has been up for about a month now and my son plays on it every single day! It’s great quality and exactly what we were looking for.

Great Playground

So far this playground has been great for our kiddos. Easy to understand directions and the app with virtual instructions was the best!
