New here looking for some advice
Morning folks.
I have just ordered a swingset with climbing wall .
I want to secure it into the ground as tight as possible so that it will with stand the abuse of 3 kids. The problem is the side of the swing set where the climbing part is that the boards go right to the very bottom of the swing set posts. I dont think anchors will last long.
Is there a way i could extend the swing posts to allow me to use postcrete to secure it.
Thanks

I'm assuming the frame is timber? Simple if not the prettiest is angle iron screwed to the legs and then that set in concrete. A nicer less obtrusive method would be to drill a hole into each leg along it's length as deep as possible and then screw in a piece of allthread which is then set into concrete

You should be able to post pictures if they are not too big. (We have recently had a few new folk who did just that)
You cant post links until you have 10 posts, its to stop spammers.
You may have to do a "Screen grab" to get the picture you want.

Would you hit a nail with a shoe because you don't have a hammer? of course not, then why work on anything electrical without a means of testing Click Here to buy a "tester" just because it works, does NOT mean it is safe.
If gloom had a voice, it would be me.
