This took the two of us, and you might even need a third person to help you get it into standing position. We started it right where we wanted it, so we didn’t have to move it too far. Once all the posts were bolted in securely, we carefully brought the swing set into a standing position, and moved it where we wanted it to be. It really is as easy as that, when you use the awesome a-frame brackets! Next we slid the 4×4 posts into their respective brackets (bottom sides, then top) and bolted them in. Then we slid each end of the post into their respective brackets, and drilled the bolts into place. We laid out the top beam first, with each end resting on top of a scrap 4×4 post, to keep it off the ground and easier to work with. We also used galvanized bolts and screws for the same reason. Make sure you are using pressure treated wood–that will make it last outside much longer. You’ll need the posts and the brackets first–and in the set I purchased (linked above), all the bolts needed came with it. ***You can also opt to buy this set, which includes the a-frame swing brackets, swings, ring trapeze, and all the hardware!
