Customer Reviews for Backyard Discovery Skyfort II All Cedar Swing Playset

Bought for my daughters 6th birthday present! She spends a lot of time playing on it, & so far everything is holding up well!

I bought this one year ago and it's the best purchase I ever made for my grandsons! It arrived on time and my son put it together by himself over a weekend and as he's told me so many times, he's not a carpenter! He started building Saturday morning and completed it late Sunday morning! Of course the boys had to help him❤. Now one year later it still looks new and the boys have had a blast and have been entertained. It's sturdy, well built, and we've enjoyed watching them as much as they've enjoyed playing on it. If you're thinking of buying it, do it. You won't be disappointed!

Every time my granddaughter would go to Sam’s, she would see this Skyfort II And beg her parents for it for her birthday. Oh sets of grandparents and her parents went together and bought this for her birthday. Her daddy put it all together pretty much all by himself and of course my granddaughter loves it. As you can see from the picture from Halloween see reigns over her kingdom from the balcony.

The kids love all of the features of the playhouse, especially the crows nest and double swing. Assembly was straightforward, and instructions were very good.

Our kids, ages 12, 8, 6, 4 and 3 love this "fort". It is loads of fun and they enjoy the different features. Assembly took some time, but my husband did it alone. I only had to help hold random pieces at times. Bottom line, the kids are happy, so we are happy!

We set the playset up a couple of weeks ago and the kids love it. They are 6 & 8 and I was worried they might grow out of it too fast but I now feel confident they will play on it for several years. We didn't have any issues with boards breaking as we saw in some of the other reviews. My husband said it is made of cedar and cedar is a soft wood, not a hard wood. We are very happy with our purchase.

Great addition to our backyard for our 5 grandsons. The kit was easy to put together and the instructions were very detailed and self-explanatory.

Our daughter has been loving this thing for almost a year now. We bought it when she was 2.5 years old and she could hardly climb the stairs, now 3.5 and she can climb the rock-wall. She only has the monkey bars to master, and I know she be there soon.

I purchased the Skyfort a few months ago. I used the BILT app for the install and it took me (by myself) 3 days to put it together. Recommend organizing all the parts alphabetically and numerically before starting. It was simple to install just a lot of steps. The kids love it. Recommended it to my brother and he bought one too!

We bought the Skyfort II after scouring through multiple different play sets because we saw so many features that our daughter could grow in to. As a four year old, she loves the swings, the climbing wall, the slide, and the play areas. Now that summer has arrived we look forward to having picnics and having friends over. She added flowers to her windows and we added a teeter totter under the monkey bars until she’s old enough. I feel comfortable as a mom letting her play outside on her own and know that she is getting some much needed free play time. Assembly: We took the advice of others and watched some YouTube videos before starting. We spent one weekend separating out all of the items into step-by-step piles and the hardware into baggies. It was detailed, but it made the assembly process so much easier and didn’t waste my kind volunteer’s time. We assembled it easily over two days with 4 active assemblers. Our daughter was sliding and swinging by Sunday evening! I highly recommend the Skyfort II. We sealed it once last September with a water based protectant and will do so once a year to keep it looking great.

We bought this a couple months ago and couldn’t be happier! Our daughters 3 and 1 love it and can’t wait to swing each day. So many features and options for play for kiddos. Assembly is time consuming, but worth it.

We are so happy with the way the play yard looks on our yard. We had a party a few days after it was installed and the kids had a great time. My grandsons were excited to have a picnic on the table under the fort

We love this swing set and all of the features! It has everything the kids wants…slide, monkey bars, rock wall, fort, picnic table etc. All of our friends and neighbors come to play on it frequently. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because it took us a long time to put together since every single board was separate. We also took the time/money after to weather proof it which would have been a perfect addition to give 5 stars if it came that way. The telescope also came broken, but want a deal breaker. Overall though, now that it’s put together it’s perfect!

Way too many parts, but the end result is great! Our daughter loves it.

This playset is fun and big. It took about 30 hrs to build by myself. One trick to make it easier is to bag the hardware for each step and lay out all of the wood in order.

Enough room in the treehouse to fit multiple people including kids, swing section well made and can hold adults also including seesaw. Monkey bars and slide not as sturdy as I would’ve liked but overall good produxt

We bought this about a year ago. While it was quite a task to assemble the instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The set itself is very solid and there is plenty for the kids to do on it. This playset is very well built and well worth the money.

We bought this for our 4 year old on her birthday. All the neighborhood kids couldn’t wait for us to finish assembling so they could play. The play set was packaged well and all the parts were there and in perfect condition. It looks great and kids love it.

I bought it a few months ago, and now our house is the neighborhood hangout for my six-year-old son and his buddies!!! They really have a blast playing. From the monkey bars to the swings, from the slide to the the clubhouse, there are so many fun ways they can enjoy the sky fort II!!

My son loves this. It wasn't about money for me I just wanted to put it together myself. It was a lot of work. If you get this have someone put it together for you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last summer for my young grand children. They love to visit Nana and have so much fun on it! This play set was a pleasure to build, every part is numbered and the instruction were written so well, that assembly was stress free. Couldn’t be more happy with this purchase.

We had 7 people who took 11 hours to put it together. Awesome set that has it all, kids love it but putting it together was hard work! Each piece was separate. Worth it in the end!

My grandchildren just love this , they were so happy to wake up to the skyfort in the backyard.

We have owned this playground for about a year now and it has held up quite well to use of 3 boys. They love going into the crows nest and scoping out the view. They have important Kids’s meetings in the second level. And we put sand in the bottom level. It’s been a great source of entertainment for my kids.

We have had the Skyfort II for a year now and it has been a blast for the kids. My 10 and 3 year old play on it everyday and it has held up wonderfully, very sturdy and still looks great. The instructions were very detailed for assembly as well. It was well worth the time we put in building it. Whenever their friends come over that is the first thing they go to. I am very pleased with my purchase.

We just had this built and right away our son loves it! It has so many features and is so well made.

My Grandkids Love this! They can Play for hours!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The grandkids love to come over and play on the new playground rather than going to the town park....we love it too <3

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!
