how do i install a swing set in my yard so it's secure?

Question

It's a simple metal Flexible Flyer set.

Answer 1

With a post hole digger dig holes for the uprights down about 8 inches. Fill in with concrete. Unfortuntaley that makes the swing set 8 inches shorter.

Consider this, if you do not do anything like pouring footings after 2 or three weeks of constant swinging you will notice the uprights will begin to dig into the ground all by themsleves. Once they dig down about 4 to 5 inches or more The system will secure itself.

Answer 2

If you can do this, if not a rental place, dig a hole in your yard for each of the legs of your set, then put the legs in the ground about 6 inches, pour cemet in around the legs and let dry. Don't use until it has dried. You can buy the small bags of premix cement at Mennards or Lowe's stores and just mix as it says on the bag in a bucket. Then use a shovel or whatever you have to scoop into the holes. If you can't put cemet in the yard, then buy some metal tent stakes or similar stakes and dig a hole for these to fit in the ground, secure them in the ground and wrap a wire from the stake around the legs of the swingset to secure it. It is also better if you can drill a hole into each leg and put the wire through each leg and then secure with the tent stake.

Answer 3

Try digging some holes where you want the legs of the swing set to go and setting them in concrete. Those metal swing sets are very hard to secure, I would have recommended one of the wooden types as they can be staked down.
