Backyard Discovery Skyfort All Cedar Swing Set, Elevated Covered Wood Roof Clubhouse with Bay Windows, 2 Belt Swings, Web Swing, 10ft Wave Slide, 5 ft Tube Slide, Covered Picnic Table, 5 ft Rock Wall

I read the reviews ahead of time, so I was mentally prepared for how long this would take and like all the other reviews have mentioned this playset is extremely time consuming. There are 300 steps to complete however, very rarely were the steps difficult. In fact, I was able to do the majority of the building on my own with minimal experience. The BILT app was essential to have and was extremely easy to use. I couldn’t imagine building it without the app. I have seen people mention that they thought the quality of the wood was not great, but I have to disagree. I thought the playset was great quality and very sturdy. I also had no issues with the hardware. It is essential to sort the pieces before you start. I used Post-it notes to label each piece. I couldn’t imagine having to search for each piece when it came time to building. It would’ve added a lot of time and a lot of frustration on building day. I did not organize the hardware, but I should have. I would suggest organizing it numerically. Overall, I think this is a great playset. The kids LOVE it which makes all of the time and money spent on it worth it.

My 2 year old grandson LOVES his "house". He can easily use both slides, the ladder to climb up, and the swings. He needs a bit of help to do the rock wall (for a while) and doesn't go p to the crow's nest without help, but soon he will be all over this play structure. I'm not going to lie, it took a full week to put it together, even the tube slide came in pieces. But everything was clearly labeled and and pre drilled. There are just hundreds of pieces! My son basically built the entire thing (with a little help in just a few spots to lift things in place) over the span of a weekend and nights after work. We plan to seal the wood so it will last a long time. It is structurally sound, my son sat on the net swing and he is 250 lbs. It is a quality built set and the wood is sanded smooth and the bolts are recessed where needed. I* am extremely happy with this purchase!

My wife shopped around for playscapes for our 5 kids ages 6-11 (6yr old twin boys 8yr old twin girls, 11yr old boy). Received the delivery in 5 large boxes on a Monday and I had it assembled completely by Sunday. I work from home and we are currently slow, so I was able to spend a few hours a day/night putting this together myself. I am very handy, but anyone with decent tools and a little patience can easily put this together. The paper instructions were very useful, and the BILT app with 3D diagrams was a GameChanger for some finicky parts. It appears to be very sturdy and all of the kids are having a blast. I only needed the 2nd adult to help me attach the Swing beam to the fort and the tunnel slide (the biggest pita) to the fort, along with leveling it out. Highly recommend so far.

Update: We have only had this swing set for maybe 3weeks and it’s starting to crack in some places. It will most likely not last for 5+ years that we were hoping. Giving 3 stars now because of the cracks.You notice it in everything. From the corners of outstanding wood pieces being cut so they don’t hurt running kids, to the size of the wood beam for the swing. It appears an intelligent individual planned the building process as well since the distribution and orientation of certain joints and screws are meticulously positioned to ensure the most for weight support.Well worth every penny.Its only downside is how long it takes to build. 50+ hours total. It’s a monster project.

This was a nightmare to setup and whoever cut the pieces and pre-drilled the holes was just lazy. Plus it came with missing parts and none of the wood was treated for outdoor use.1. The directions are nearly impossible to follow.2. Received 5 boxes with specific directions thinking all of parts in each box matched the corresponding directions, but all of the parts were randomly in all of the boxes.3. Some of the pre-drilled holes didn't line up.4. Some of holes were missing altogether.5. None of the wood was cut in angles, so I had to cut them myself to make them fit.6. None of the wood was treated, so I had to buy and apply sealer myself to preserve it.7. Missing 16 bolts.

I shopped for a long time before finally settling on this swing set. What I liked most about it is that is has a tube slide, circle rope swing and is multi-level. I had questions about it before purchasing & Backyard Discovery was quick to answer my questions and friendly on the phone. The price for this playscape is a very good value based on my research of other options on the market. After I placed my order, I got a call from the company making sure I was happy with my purchase so far and to see if there was anything they could do to help. They gave me a contact number and a contact rep and reminded me when I had scheduled my delivery. The delivery company was also fantastic, friendly customer service and arrived within the time frame as expected, which I thought was also pretty fast. Once we laid out all the pieces, I was very impressed with the quality of the playscape. The wood is hard and sturdy and doesn't splinter, nor did it not break under pressure when screwing it together. The plastic pieces are a good color and seem like they will hold up well under bad weather. The best part is, my kids absolutely love this thing. They play on it ALL THE TIME and it has really helped them get excited about going outside instead of being inside on electronics. Overall, I give this playscape and company the highest remarks -- the product is better than expected, customer service is outstanding and I am glad I bought a swing set that is going to hold up well in the outdoors.
