How to Move a Swing Set

A swing set is a large outdoor structure that is usually anchored to the ground. Metal sets often bolt together and come apart cleanly, while heavy wooden playsets are more involved. Either way, plan to disassemble, label parts, and reassemble on a fresh, level spot.

Pro tip: Photograph the assembled set from several angles before teardown so reassembly matches the original.

Watch out: A swing set must be re-anchored at the new home, since an unanchored set can tip when children swing.
