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

We bought this for our 3 kids last fall and so happy that we did! Our kids range in age from 9 to 1 year and this play set has something for all of them. My oldest loves the monkey bars and lookout tower. My middle child loves the swings and climbing wall. And we made a sandbox in the bottom part for the baby. After 9ish months, the play set still gets daily use. Would highly recommend.

We bought this for the summer last year for our kids and they absolutely love it. They use it every day they can. It’s always a focal point especially when their friends come over for a play date. It’s keeps them entertained and adds a great look to the yard!

Bought this back in March for my daughter for her birthday gift. She loves it! And spends most of her time tucked away in the sandbox. Nice and quiet away from things that may overstimulate her sensory system

Awesome play set for all ages. Our 1.5 year old can go up the ladder and down the slide all by himself. Installation is brutal though! Took my very handy husband and I two full days! Very sturdy when finished! Enough to hold the whole family.

We bought this awhile ago & the kids have loved it since we got it put together

Already making memories

We brought this play structure for our 4 kids and it is the BEST !!! MY Husband built it himself in 5 days !!! No problems!!!

Purchased for my 10 and 4 year old and both love it! The lookout up top is their favorite feature. You can easily change out the swings for something else like a saucer swing. Wish we had taken the time to stain the wood before assembly as it is already starting to show wear and peeling.

This is perfect for my 6 year old son. We purchased this last summer and assembly took us 3 full days with 2 people. Word to the wise download the app and watch the videos as the paper instructions can be difficult to follow. We have had this up for one year and it’s still holding up great. Hours and hours of fun for our son.

We really labored over the decision of which brand and style of playset to buy. WE MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE! This swing set rings with joy from the very moment moment the kids (5,3,3) run outside. The only downside is that the kids are howling with rage when we tell them it's bedtime -- they just want to keep playing! It is a high-quality, easy-to-assemble play set. With detailed preparation and patient assembly, you can put it together yourself. Before starting, sort all the metal elements into little baggies numbered by step. Check all the lumber and make sure it's in good order (we did not have any problems, but checking ahead will yield dividends if any issues arise). And of course, make sure your ground is clear and level before you start -- or you'll have issues once it's time to bring it all together. We live in Zone 4B (COLD & snowy winters) so we sealed it by hand with multiple coats of a high-quality sealant. It takes time but it's worth it. Our playset is over a year old now and looks fresh and new. It was a bit creaky at first (this is to be expected with fresh lumber) but now it has settled into the earth and is solid as a rock. The glider is perfect for our twins, who are not old enough to pump a swing on their own -- and it gives us adults a break from pushing them for hours at a time! The clubhouse is the perfect place for kids to let their imaginations run wild. We often have all our neighbors over and the whole set brims with kids from age 1 (supervised in the sanbox) up through 12. If you're having a hard time landing on an option, I would say: You can't go wrong with this one. We're loving it (and when the kids are all done, it will have a future life as a very dynamic chicken coop!)

Purchased for kids, great quality wood, even better than anticipated! Easy instructions. The fort is amazing. Whole neighborhood enjoys it.

We are on this play set every day sun up to sun down. Our girls have a blast!

We bought this almost a year ago and my kids love it!! They play for hours on it and love to have lunch in the picnic table. My hubby and I are pretty handy so we were able to get it done in a day and a half. I expect that we will get more than our moneys worth out of this.

We love having our grandchildren come over and they have so much fun up in the fort, sliding down the slide and challenging themselves on the rock wall and overhead ladder!

I built this for my son, he is loving it as well as the neighbor kids!

We bought this play set last year for our daughter and she absolutely loves it. We can’t keep her off of it! It has amazing features. She loves the rock climbing wall. Also, very durable! Highly recommend!

We bought this swing set about a month ago. The grandkids have used it every day—even before going to school in the morning. They enjoy playing in the fort, having snacks at the picnic table, and all of the fun activities they can do with the various accessories (e.g. climbing wall, glider, swings, monkey bars).

We have 5 kids and often host large gatherings and this play place is a hit with the kids! It’s ALOT of pieces and took about 40 hours for my Dad to assemble, but worth the effort.

I was impressed with how well written the instruction were and all the pieces were labeled nicely. We made sure to take the time to seal all the boards before beginning assembly which doubled the total assembly time. Everything fit very well and I only had 2 issues with some of the hardware which was easily remedied with the extra hardware that was included. Some of boards have started to crack now that it's been put together for a month+ but so far nothing super concerning. My 4 year old daughter absolutely loves playing on it! This will provide years of fun for her and it looks great in the backyard too.

The kids have used this for about two months now and love it. My wife and I assembled and it was a breeze. Would highly recommend this set to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this playset in February to replace a 20 year old set that my grandchildren used. I currently have two great grandchildren living here temporarily and this one fit the bill. It took me a month to assemble, as I waterproofed all parts before assembling. Well worth the extra work being in Maine, and not bad for a 63 year old great grandpa. I would definitely recommend, as the kids love it.

We bought this about a year ago and our kids love to play on it. I love that it has features for all 5 of my kids (ages 2-11).

Absolutely love this swing set! My kids play on this every day! It’s the perfect size and will last a long time as my kids grow into it. It’s a hit for the neighborhood kids as well! Great quality. Highly recommend

Purchased in February, had to wait for the weather to cooperate in April. Very good instructions, proceed slowly, you’ll get there. Grandpa and son-in-law completed this project in several hours over two weekends. Pay attention to other customer comments regarding how to construct this fort. Prior experience working with wood is helpful. Three grandkids required substituting a third swing replacing the teeter-totter that’s shown in the brochure photo.

Well designed and excellent directions! Great customer support when we needed a new part!

We saved up for this purchase, knowing for about a year this was the model we wanted. It took my husband two days to assemble by himself, with some help from me (mostly just holding things up). Thankfully everything came labelled and we set everything out so we could see each piece. The instructions were easy to follow. The actual playset itself is great! There are so many activities that can be done - climbing, swinging, sliding, playing in the sand, having lunch on the little picnic table, playing in the fort...my kids are constantly finding new ways to enjoy it - the newest being the creation of an obstacle course starting at one end and working their way to the other. Another nice feature is that we were able to remove the 2 seater swing attachment and in its place, put a baby swing. Now all three girls from ages 1 to 11 are enjoying it!

The kids love the new play set! It’s great

We love it…. and best of all, My kids LOVE their playground. It took about three days the build, with a lot of extra help, but everything was very well labeled and the directions were easy to follow. We would highly suggest this company and their products. This playground is very sturdy and great for both my 4 year old and 8 year old.

I love this swing set my 4yr old loves it. It’s a bit of a chore to put together but it was well worth it.

Came in 4 big boxes, really surprised all that fit inside these long boxes. Quality is okay wish some areas where a little bit more reinforced with thicker wood. Would definitely recommend professional installation. Our 2 yr old loves this play set we basically have our own park in the back yard and she will get at least another 10 yrs of use out of it.
