Swing Set Dismantling Guide

The simplest way to take apart a kids backyard swing set is to hire an experienced junk hauling service that will dismantle and dispose of it for you. If you want to do it yourself, the best approach is to start with the assembly instructions. If you still have the instruction manual, just follow it in reverse order. If not, do the following:

• Take the swing(s) off the frame. The first thing you'll need to do is to remove the swing(s) from the frame. Put these aside so they aren't a tripping hazard. Place any loose hardware in a plastic bag to keep it organized and together.
• Unfasten the swing chains. Next, you'll need to take the chains which hang down from the frame off the frame. Use a ladder to make it easier to reach. This is necessary because these will get in the way when you go to dismantle the frame itself.
• Dismantle the frame itself. Examine the frame to determine how it's put together. Then, unfasten the bolts and take it apart. Do this with caution to avoid bodily injury and/or property damage.
• Pull up the supports. If the supports are buried in the ground, you'll need to dig them up to finish the job. Exercise caution, here too, to avoid getting hurt.
