You may wonder if it’s even worth dismantling it and bringing it with you to the new place if you’re moving but you have a big playset out back your kids love. You may not want to leave behind the sentimental playhouse or swing set, though it may simply not be practical to take it with you. The thought of leaving it or breaking it down into trash may be difficult alternatives. Today, we at Good Time Moving & Storage would like to discuss moving swing sets and playhouses.

Can You Take a Swing Set with You when You Move?

You may find it’s worth it to bring it with you to the new house if the swing set or playhouse is relatively new, costs a lot of money, or has a strong sentimental value. If the new owners are older and don’t have children or grandchildren, as they won’t want a playset in their back yard you will also want to bring it.

Should I Leave Swing Set Behind when Moving?

Your children may not like the idea of leaving behind their backyard fun. Especially if it’s exceptionally large and hard to dismantle into smaller pieces, you may just want to leave it there and buy them a new one at the new home. Keep in mind, taking it with you involves breaking down the unit, pay to have it moved, and have to take the time to reassemble it in the new yard. This is time consuming and costs money. If the kids are getting older, they may be outgrowing the swings and not worth the effort to keep it another year or 2.

How Hard is it to Disassemble & Assemble the Swing Set?

The time of year needs to be considered. Making it impossible to remove and dismantle, the swing set may be frozen into the ground if you are moving from a colder climate in the winter. You won’t be able to assemble it in the new yard because the ground will be frozen if you’re moving from a warm place to a cold place. This suggests you’ll have to find a place to store it till the nice weather. Making you contractually obligated to keep them as is if the new owners have written a contingency into the contract that includes the swing sets and play areas, sometimes you have no choice but to leave it.
