Customer Reviews for Backyard Discovery Skyfort II All Cedar Swing Set Playset with Monkey Bars, Upper Fort, Belt Swings, Trapeze, Rockwall, and Wave Slide

My parents and I coordinated the purchase of the Skyfort II for my three kids (10, 7, and 5) this past Christmas. Best purchase ever. Even in less than great weather, my kids are clamoring to get outside. That’s right it’s 2023 and my kids want to be outside. My 10 year old is pushing 80 pounds and this equipment is holding firm under his weight on the swing. It’s held up against much larger kids as well. There is no or only barely noticeable twisting or buckling that I had seen on some of our earlier and cheaper play sets. It’s held me as I sat in the fort part of the structure without so much as a creaking of wood and I’m well over 200 pounds. I will say we did pay to have it professionally installed and it was worth it. My kids love it. My wife and I love it. Everyone that’s come to our house love it. I cannot recommend the Skyfort II highly enough.

We really wanted a playset that had swings and monkey bars, so we were glad we found this one! It’s been great so far, took a couple days to assemble but the kids love it and it seems like it will be great for years to come.

We’ve had the skyfort 2 for a few months now and my kids love it! It’s big enough for my 6 and 8 year old to enjoy, while still catering to my 3 year old. My husband and father in law spent 3 eight hour days assembling it. There were parts they had to figure out as they went along due to unclear directions or pieces not fitting properly, but in the end they made it work. Our order was missing two pieces, but backyard discovery quickly sent the pieces with no charge. I would recommend this set for anyone looking for a playground that will cater to children of different ages or grow with their toddlers. I’m very happy with our purchase.

Outstanding quality. Hours of fun for the kids!

The Discovery Skyfort II has been a great purchase for all year round fun for the grandkids

We bought this play set for our daughter's birthday and she absolutely LOVES it! It has fantastic features that are great for all ages and will not let your little ones grow bored. The quality of this set is exceptionally built and the design of it gives you the most play area for the space. HIGHLY recommended to anyone who has children that love to play outside!

This was a great purchase. Assembly took us about a week, but that included two full-time jobs and some rainy days taking away from working hours. Customer service was amazing when we needed to replace some wooden pieces that had split. Directions were pretty good, but being able to rotate the view in the app was a huge help since sometimes the pieces look reversible but aren’t. Telescope is a little flimsy, but the kids love this thing.

We bought the set and received it in 3 weeks. It had all the parts and the wood was in great shape. While it took us over 20 hours to build, the directions were straight forward. My 4 kids (ages 8-1) play on it all together with friends and have plenty of room with room to grow!

The build was not super hard, but it did take a while. Nothing was missing or broke in the boxes. The kids absolutely love this. My only issue, the packaging in the boxes was completely mixed up. I’d be happy to pay for the extra boxes to have all of the parts for one step in the same box. We had to completely unpack and sort everything in order to be able to funds parts for each step in the build.

I bought this last year, and assembled with a little help. Parts were complete, instructions were reasonably easy to follow, and predrilled parts were accurate.

I bought this a month ago and we just completed the build. It took us about 3 days to build this as nothing comes pre-put together. Overall there were some challenges building it as pilot holes were not drilled correctly. However my children love this set especially the crows nest! Look forward to many years on memories with this.

Our little girl loves her Skyfort. It has fun feature for a great time of play.

This is an awesome play set. Kids love it. It takes a while to assemble but completely worth it.

I just bought this and we are so happy with it so far! It seems very sturdy. I looked through multiple sets before I decided because I wanted something my kids could play on now but also grow with and last for years and I think this set will definitely meet my expectations.

Great swingset. Easy purchase, easy delivery. Easy assembly due to clear and concise instructions. Kids love it

Solid construction, and if sealed against water per the intructions, will continue to last for years to come! My kids are ecstatic about it, and it's been almost 2 years, they seriously can't get enough!

There is something on this playset that all 3 of our boys, 1, 3 & 5 LOVE. Our 5 year old has become a master on the monkey bars, our 3 year old loves the swings, and our 1 year old loves climbing up the ladder to get up to the slide, doing that over and over again! We are so pleased with this purchase! We bought it because my twin sister has the same one for her 3 kids and we knew how much time they spent on it. Don’t wait any longer, just buy it now and you’ll be thankful you did!

We bought this a year ago and have enjoyed having our own playground in our backyard! The kids (4&7) love the lookout and the rock wall. It’s perfect for picnics, playing store, and even bring in pillows for lounging. Very sturdy as well. My husband assembled in less than 2 weeks.

We bought this as a Christmas gift and are so happy with the quality and design. Our kids are young and have so much room to grow into the set. The set has held up so far through wind and rain without issue.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a gift to our granddaughter to memorialize the loss of her father. It was well worth the money and labor to put it up. High quality, rugged product!

This was bought by my grandmother for my 2 children and it has been a hit! That are on it from the time they wake until bed time. It was time consuming to put together but once done it is very sturdy and is going to last for years. Only down side is delivery was very slow and could not be tracked. We had to keep calling company to see where it was and it sat in various locations for days before being moved.

We love all the features this design offered! While the crow’s nest is our favorite, the design of the playhouse and picnic table underneath are close seconds. It was relatively easy to assemble, I recommend downloading the app with videos!

This was the perfect addition to our backyard ! It’s well built , beautiful and functional for the kiddos . We love it they love and we appreciate the thought and craftsmanship that went into it . I’ll be making more purchases from backyard discovery in the future .

Love everything about the playset and so do the kids! Was a little difficult to get together, but it eventuallly came together and looked/functioned great.

Bought the skyfort ii + assembly by GOConfigure. Excellent product and builder did a great job! 6 year old son absolutely loves it. 4 big boxes arrived promptly and delivery team kindly placed them in my garage. GoConfigure had to reschedule twice but was worth the wait because Anthony did a pro job. He builds these all the time and took him less than 8 hours. Finished product is great and we are happy. Wood is very lightweight but sturdy. Wood is pre stained but we will be putting another coat to get the most out of it for years to come. Builder told us that it is covered under warranty for 18 months. Any piece breaks they will send replacement and he will install it. I really hope that is true because that sounds great!

Best purchase I have made in a while. My kids ages 2, 4 and 12 all can play on it. It gives them hours of fun! Paid for the assembly and totally worth it!

We assembled this amazing Skyfort II play set and was delighted to see it come together! The assembly was straight forward and even included spare hardware, even though we didn't need it. We sent our grand kids pictures of the completed Skyfort and they can't wait for their visit to grandma and grandpa's place later this month. I am completely satisfied with this play set and highly recommend the Skyfort II.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Husband assembled easily and kids enjoy all the features. Quality materials for years of enjoyment.

We bought this as a replacement for a smaller one that we lost in a storm. Well worth the extra money! Our son gave it 10 out of 10!

I bought this set earlier last year and it has been a wonderful edition not only to our backyard, but as a facilitating activity location for the kids. This playset is great during all kinds of weather and can make for a great time getting some exercise with the kids. It was fun and a little challenging to put together ourselves, but that was to be expected. Overall, a great purchase to consider!!
