I finally got to take my top off!:D

A little redneck engineering for top storage too! When I bought the house, this swingset was cemented into the ground, finallly got some good use for it. Made some cross braces, backed up to it, slid the top right on to it. The top is actually scrubbing the crossbeam of the swingset. I figured a couple posts under the center couldn't hurt.

Remember Chef Tell? Very simple, very easy:D

It's now a one man project to remove and install the topper. I use a firring strip to slide the top over the locating pins, and to save as much paint as I can.

Now for the pics:laugh:

looks good and nice idea
 
Thanks. I was originally going to try to take the swingset down, then found it to be cemented in about 2 feet. I was lazy and didn't want to dig all six legs out.

Now I have a winch, and the swingset is serving a purpose...go figure!

I took mine off last sunday....don't plan on putting it back on till later in the year. I usually slide mine onto one of my sheds, but this time I slid it onto an S10 Blazer I've got sitting in the back yard.
 
Got mine taken off a couple weeks ago as well. :D Promptly started raining!

See if I can make it through another wheelin season and still be able to put it back on:crazy:
