Ratings & Reviews for Backyard Discovery Skyfort II Residential Wood Playset

Kids are very happy

My husband is a contractor so he built this himself. It look him about a week- a several hours a day. We are happy with the quality and look. The only feedback I would give is that the slide is not a solid piece, it's like a thick piece of plastic inserted into two slots.

Fun for the grandchildren.

Purchased this play set to replace one destroyed during the hurricane, and this one has more features, including monkey bars that the grandchildren loved to play on

Great swing set

We love this swing set. We have a 4 year old granddaughter, she absolutely loves the playground set.

Skyfort 2

We purchased this playground for Christmas this year and my kids have loved it. It definitely took longer than I expected to put together but the instructions and companion app were amazing. Every step was easily explained and labeled. I probably had as much fun building it as my kids have had playing on it.

Great style and features

We bought this for christmas and our kids love it. The only issue was there was quite a bit of hardware left over. Screws and bolts that were not needed. Other than that, the build was relatively easy with some clear instructions.

So far so good

We just got this play set put up over Christmas and it’s great, my 2 grandsons have enjoyed playing on it!

Lots of Fun for all

We purchased this as a Christmas gift for our 3 grandsons (ages 2, 5 & 8) to replace one that was old. It has great features & the kids love the fort. They prefer to eat lunch at the picnic table rather than come inside even when it’s cold. It is good for all ages & very sturdy. With the size of this play set, numerous kids can all play at the same time & it not be crowded.

Family playground

Purchased for my kids and they love it . Wish assembly was a little easier but other then that success

Great Quality & Perfect for Growth

We bought this as a combo Christmas present for our 3 year old son and 1.5 year old daughter. It was delivered to our driveway in perfect condition, and I had the parts sorted over the next 2 hours. I constructed the fort 99% by myself in about 34 hours. (The remaining 1% were times when I dropped something while working from the upper floor or crow's nest and my wife stepped in to grab it, hah). The material quality is excellent - I see no reason why this would not stand up to the 10+ yea...

Skyfort II pretty great

Bought this for our 2 year old and he loves it. The Monkey bars are pretty high, my 5’3 self cannot even reach them but it seems like it’s going to be great to grow with him for years. I do wish the planks were a bit thicker for peace of mind but so far it’s been great!

Skyfort Ii Discovery

We bought our grandson the Skyfort Ii for Christmas and he absolutely loved it. It was quite the project putting together. Thank goodness my husband is good at building and following directions. It is the most beautiful and sturdy playset I have ever seen. Thank you so much.

Good build, kids love it

We assembled it ourselves: 2 teams of 1 adult +1 8yo. Took 3 days of dedicated work, about 17-20 hours total. It was very much like putting together a big Lego set. The wood is cedar-scented pine, but sturdy, and I've got no complaints there. A few build tips: It took 2 hours to organize and lay out the pieces, but it was well worth it, as we were able to send the kids to fetch the wood parts for each step. Use one drill per team. We also unstapled the instructions and 3-hole punched them so we ...

Skyfort ll build.

overall good. can be frustrating, have to jump from box to box to get needed pieces for each step.

Awesome PlayGround

Purchased this to replace a very old swingset for our grandkids. The assembly was long and tedious but the instructions were spot on. The online app was very helpful at times to assist with some clarity. Had an issue with a part and it was shipped to me right away. It was helpful to lay out the parts by number so that they were easy to find. I bought the anchors and rubber pieces to hold playground in place and keep the wood off the ground - I highly recommend doing this.

Great backyard fun!

My grandchildren enjoy it from the 2 yo to the 8 yo…. It is sturdy and looks great in our large backyard…The company was great, as it looked like it was going to sit in the delivery storage for over a week an hour away and we called to see if we could pick it up to get it done before the Holiday and it was on our property in 24 hours, and up our long driveway sitting by the garage which was great! I’m sure we will get great use of it over the next 10 years or so…it was easy to follow instruction...

Great Play Set

I bought this in June 2024 for my 5 year old son. I wanted a play set that would last and that he wouldn't outgrow. This definitely didn't disappoint. It did take my husband about a week to build by himself. Overall very happy with this purchase.

Great all around

I bought this for my granddaughter and she loves this, she spend a lot of her outside time swinging, sliding, or monkey bars to playing in the fort and climbing all over it. I feel this was a great investment

Perfect play set for years to come

We got out play set 1 year ago and our 4 year old loves it. There’s plenty of different features to keep her entertained. The monkey bars are too far spaced apart for her but that is something she will grow into. The wood it’s made out of isn’t as heavy as what we thought it would be but is holding up well. We did put a coating of water sealer on the play set to be safe. Set up- it’s not pretty. Be prepared to do this over a couple of days. With 3 people who are somewhat handy you could get it b...

Great play set

My kids love this play set, especially the crow’s nest. It is enormous and lots of fun! The wood is not the most sturdy quality, and the slide is not a solid piece or plastic. I gave 4 stars for those 2 reasons, but other than that it is great!

Skyfort II

This was a fun DIY project. The directions were very accurate and all the pieces fit together without having to make any afjustments. When they didn't work it was my fault. It's critical to note the orientation of each piece. The ultimate test- the grandkids won't stop playing on it!
