Ratings & Reviews for Backyard Discovery Skyfort II Residential Wood Playset

Great for middle aged kids

Ours girls are 7 and 9 and are rowdy, so we were looking for a play set that could last them a few years and withstand how hard they play. They LOVE the monkey bars (in my opinion it's the best feature of this playhouse because kids love them so much). This set has so many different things to offer and my husband was a huge fan of the interactive set up instructions (instead of the normal paper with very little description). Shipping was great and the price was very comparable to a lot of other ...

Easy to install!

There are a lot of steps but the instructions are easy to follow. I was able to complete several steps on my own.

Great product, great directions for assembly.

This is a really good product that comes in four large boxes full of numbered stamped boards and hardware. It over 4 hours to unpack and sort and arrange all of the pieces and I am estimating about 25 - 30 hours to follow the very clear directions to assemble it. The boards are fairly thin but quite adequate for a play structure. The hardware (bolts, nuts, screws) is very robust and of good quality. It came with all the correct bits for the bolts. I enjoyed putting this together and am impres...

We love it!

We’ve had this playscape for about 8 months. Our 3 kids (4 and under) LOVE it and I know they’ll play on it for years and years to come. The instructions were straightforward and easy to follow. Definitely the best thing we’ve ever bought for our kids!

Great features for price point

Everything is great about this playset. My only wish would be that it came pre sealed.

Awesome build

took a long time to do on my own but I was able to save a lot of money and it was well worth the effort I put into this , my daughters love it and I hope it lasts atleast 10 years 🥲

Great playground for price.

We have had this playground for 3 summers now its held up pretty well up until this year we noticed a lot of fading in some ares. Decided to re stain and seal with behr deck and siding paint. Would suggest you tighten every season as a lot of the bolts where really loose. Wood feels kind of cheap its a really soft pine, had a couple of the fence boards peel a layer of wood off. Added a few 2x4s to reinforce floor while painting as i don’t recommend for adult use or bigger kids. the orange/ brown...

There’s a lot of pieces but it wasn’t bad to put together

Overall, a wonderful set

A month. This took a month to complete. Why? Lot's of pieces, solo assembly, and Texas. Texas weather was quite uncooperative some weekends. And staining. Yes folks, you MUST stain/seal this set. Some build then stain. My wife and I chose to hand-stain each and every piece of wood in the set to ensure first coat coverage. In a couple of months, I will whip out the sprayer and spray stain. It is a good looking set. And big. The bad: The wood feels and handles rather light. This led to some sp...

Skyfort II ! Hours of fun!

Bought this for my grands ages 2 - 9 and they LOVE it. Something to do for all of them!

Love This Playset!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got the Discovery Playset SKYFORT II WITH WAVE SLIDE for our backyard, and it’s been awesome! My kids are obsessed with the wave slide and love hanging out in the upper clubhouse, pretending it's a princess castle. The rock climbing wall and ladder are perfect for keeping them active, and the swing set with the two-person glider is a huge hit. The cedar wood is not only good-looking but also super sturdy, so I feel confident about th...

It’s an ok set

Overall the swing-set is ok. Quality does not reflect the price of this. The slide is very cheaply made. Two sturdy pieces of plastic with a thin flexible piece of plastic run down into the groves. 1st day the slide is broken when my 8yr old about 55 lb child went down. We will be reinforcing the floor board for the play house as it doesn’t seem that sturdy. Putting it together was fairly easy but time consuming. 2 pieces were mislabeled and the roof that came pre assembled had too thick of a pi...

Grandson Loves It

My son and I put this together for our grandson's 4th birthday. He had assembled the stairs and rock wall and sorted out the pieces prior to my arrival. Grouping the items by number prior to assembly was very helpful, since there a lot of pieces. The written instructions were very good and the "Bilt" app was helpful It took us three days, but it went together well. He immediately climbed the rock wall and went right up to the crow's nest. The neighbors were ready to send their kids over to pla...

Grandchildren love it!

I bought this a couple of months ago and the grandchildren love it! The directions were very straightforward and everything came as needed. Impressed with the quality so far!

Perfect for big and little kids

We did a lot of research before purchasing this set, and we are very happy with it. We have 5 kids ages 2-9 and our oldest is about 5ft tall. We wanted something that kids of all ages could use that wouldn’t be too flimsy for lots of kids, and that our oldest could still use. This thing is sturdy! We replaced the middle bar thing with another swing. we often have 3 kids swinging on this at one time, and the set doesn’t move at all. My husband is 6’2” and can stand upright in the upstairs of the ...

Did not last as thought

We bought this right before the summer of 2020 when the world shut down. We wanted our kids to get outside and play since they were home. It started out great, but after trying to maintain the upkeep, it began to get worse. A year into this playset, the pieces were warping and starting to fail. The whole playset shakes back and forth, even with my 35 lb child. We do not feel safe with it anymore, and now we are on the hunt for a new one. If you want to spend this type of money, keep in mind that...

very good quality playset

it was a lot of work assembling it but it was worth it because it is a very sturdy playset
