Can I install a metal swing set in an unlevel yard?

Our backyard slopes. We do not have the resources to rent a backhoe and level out the yard for the swing set. I need to know if it's possible to install a metal swing set such that the yard is not a factor (perhaps burying the legs on one side). All suggestions are appreciated.|||Like the first poster said... you should bury the legs to a reasonable depth or even set them in concrete. Burying the legs at variable depths will allow you to level the cross bar. Use the swings them selves as a plumb line to tell you whether the set needs to go forward or backward and a bubble level (on the crossbeam) to tell you which way to adjust its yaw. This is gonna take at least a couple of people, so come prepared.|||A metal swing will start rusting unless it is aluminum, and burying the legs will increase the rust. the people who know the best are the specific manufacturers of the swing set, call the # on the instructions and they'll give you the ideal method of installation

Make sure that the swing set is level, and then put the kids on and watch them play.|||Yes bury the legs,,,All of them,the swing sets are very unstable,kids get going and next you know three legs are left on the ground|||You can do that only if you shorten the swing on that side to make it at correct height with the ground. And, if you put it facing the slope, when the kids swing back they will hit the slope up, and it will be very "deep" in the front of them.
