I can't stress enough to people about doing research before you hire someone to install a swing set for your children/grandchildren!  Are you putting your children's safety in jeopardy because you want to save $25, $50, $75???

  I am coming across more and more people who are hiring anyone so that they can save some $$$ when getting the swing set installed.   But they aren't taking the time to research them!  Most of them aren't even qualified to put one together.  And most don't have a website where they can showcase their talents!

  Things you should look for before hiring someone:
1.  Are they insured?  Can they provide proof?
2.  Do they have a website to show their work?
3.  What is their experience?
4.  Do they have visible reviews/testimonials? (nothing where they copy 
     and paste emails onto their site, but where the customer can actually
     leave a REAL testimonial!)
 
   Before you go and hire "Joe Smith" to save a few $$$, check out some of the photos below!   Maybe this will finally make people think about who they hire to install a swing set
Propped up using boards not screwed together with about 3 stakes per leg.Didn't install the lag bolt here to connect bottom tower to upper tower. Obviously didn't start the floor boards correctly. wrong bolts used and threads were sticking out. def. a hazard for children.didn't put on a lot of washers. bolts were sunk into the wood. the whole upper portion of the tower was leaning bad. bolts were missing and it wasn't installed properlywrong bolts were installed here as well. underneath the picnic table.
More to come when I can transfer my pictures from my Mac to my PC.
I do not nor will not compete with a non-professional swing set installer; as far as giving a rate to install or relocate a swing set.

I have put 100% dedication into my work since 2001 when I began installing swing sets. I get very frustrated when I hear that I lose a job to a non swing set installer "off the street," because they wanted a cheaper rate.  Not because I lost the job, but because I know that the set, most likely, won't be installed properly and it will put the children at risk of getting hurt!!!





Please!!!
Please!!!
Please!!!

Do not put the cost of installation over your children's safety!!!
2 kids were hired to install this Panorama because they were cheaper. no experience, no website, no insurance! This was a full day for them.Another shot. set is set up wrong, and the brackets are bent. swing beam would be over the fence!!!!
