How do we move a big wooden swing set?

Not far. Just to another part of the yard. I do not want to take it down just for that. Is it possible to just get twenty men over here and they can just scoot it a little? lol

Update:

Well, i dont want to get rid of it. Its only two years old. Its is very very heavy. But, i want to do sometihng new to my backyard and "vision", lol, that swing isnt where it is now. My husbands just gonna love this idea!

Update 2:

Believe me lulu if it takes that many men to move it, I'm not going to be happy. My husbands friends expect to be fed a big dinner and have beer waiting for them when they do stuff like that for me. Something I started and now have them spoiled.

Update 3:

thanks Micheal! It has a swing part with a fort and a slide. so, two legs for the swing and four for the fort. I dont think he anchored it done. i remember arguing about it with him. Then he and his dad got up on it and started jumping on it and swinging on it hard like a bunch of fools. It didnt budge so i dropped the argument. lol So, you think two men could at leat pick a leg up to put something underneath it? That's great. thanks.

Oh and you tell me when and Ill make the hurricanes :)

Update 4:

Thanks Kev! Lulu's bringing the lemonade.

hey Lulu is it spiked?

    Is it anchored? First pull up any anchors. I think you can do it with two people. How many legs does it have? Put something that can roll under the legs on one end. The the two of you lift up the legs at the other end and push it. If you are making Hurricane's I can come by and help your husband. I'll bring my brother from Hattiesburg. We'll move that thing.

    It's bigger than I thought. I'm not sure now. Whatever you do videotape it in case you get an America's funniest home videos moment.

    They have crane's you could rent or hire, plus there are helicopter crane's that put air conditioners on top of big buildings. But I am not sure how much these are a hour, I know when I photographed Annual reports we used to hire them to lift us up for photos if we could not use a chopper. Hope this helps

    How heavy?? I would slide some cardboard underneath each leg...It will help it slide across the ground or grass easier. This would be my first attempt.

    My second attempt would be to go down to walmart and buy some of those plant stands on wheels and try to place one underneath each leg of the set and then move it on the wheels.

    My last resort would be to either...tear it down and get rid of it..or just screw it and leave it where it is.
