Moving with a Swing Set

If you are getting ready for a big move with your family, then you know that moving with little ones is a challenge. Since kids do not always understand the concept of moving, trying to explain to them what stays and what goes can be hard. Especially when it comes to explaining why their favorite toys or parts of the house cannot move with them too. Moving with kids means that they will want to bring everything that is theirs with them. If your little one is very attached to their swing set, you may be wondering whether moving with a swing set is a good idea. Our South Austin local movers can explain the pros and cons of moving with a swing set.

Should You Move Your Swing Set with You?

Before deciding that you are moving with a swing set, it is important to remember that your old home and your new home may not be structured the same way. So, make sure that your new home can accommodate the space needed for the swing set. Should you find that the swing set will fit in your new home's yard, here are some pros and cons from our South Austin residential movers on moving with a swing set.

Pros: There are a lot of good things that will come out of moving with a swing set for your kids, the best reason being that it will really help with their moving anxiety. Taking a familiar piece of their old home with them can make the process of moving easier on your kids, since they are already giving up so much.

Another pro of moving with your swing set is that it will make your house easier to sell. Though some people buying a home enjoy the bonus of having a swing set in the backyard for their kids or future kids, there are those who do not want to be bothered with disassembling and removing the existing playhouse. Taking it with you can be a win/win for all involved.

Cons: Just like there are a lot of pros to moving your swing set with you, there are also a lot of cons. The biggest con being that moving with a swing set is an added expense that you will need to budget for in your move. If you personally do not have the means to move the swing set yourself, you will need to pay a South Austin professional moving service to disassemble and move the swing set for you.

Another challenge of moving with a swing set is that it may not fit in your new backyard or that it may not match the aesthetic of your new backyard and home. In this case, you may want to think about purchasing a new swing set for your kids. This can also be something exciting for them to look forward to!

Pros of Buying a New Swing Set after Moving

We know that buying a new swing set is also an additional expense that will need to be factored in when moving, so we want to share why buying a new swing set for your kids can be a good thing during a move.

As mentioned before, leaving your old swing set with your old home when moving can help increase the selling points of your home to some buyers. If your swing set is not an insurance liability, leaving it behind and buying a new one can get you some extra dollars on your selling price.

Another pro of leaving your old swing set behind is that it gives you a chance to get your kids excited about the move by letting them choose a new swing set for the back yard. This way your kids can feel like they are taking part in the move and have something to look forward to.
