Need tips and info on buying a used wooden swing set? I am thinking about purchasing a used wooden swing set/play structure....
I am thinking about purchasing a used wooden swing set/play structure. I've look at a couple Rainbow Brand, and ceder ones. I be just wondering how all right they hold up when being disassembled, transported and after re assembled. If anyone has done this earlier, let me know how it worked out for you. I don't want to spend foolishly my money, even the used ones can be pretty expensive.

Answers: We helped move a extremely large wood playset from our son's home he sold to their up to date home. The children loved the set so it was ably worth the move. (Three swings, 8 foot slide, six foot tall fort on top, monkey bar etc.) The set was nearly 6 years old and the wood be still in incredibly good condition because it is treated lumber. Examine the playset extremely carefully and find out how out-of-date it is if possible.
It took 4 men 8 hours to disassemble, nouns it on the long bed truck and reassemble the set. My husband drew a diagram of the playset and marked the parts so putting it rear legs together was more reorganized. You will need to verbs holes for the legs so measure your patio space and mark the ground to indicate where on earth the legs should be placed according to where they be in the courtyard it is coming from.
Anything you can think of to do contained by preparation makes the situation easier. Get lots of help and be prepared to run to the hardware store if any bolts break.
These playsets are worth the time and try to move. Good luck!

take lots of photos, later label everything formerly disassembling.
Other than that, look at the condition to see how well it's be cared for and how the wood is holding up.
