Swing set - do I need concrete?

I have ordered a metal swing set, it has one swing and one seasaw swing on it and have just noticed in the reviews that some people are saying it needs concreted into the ground with cement.

Does anyone have a swing set in their garden and did you need to cement it in? Totally regretting buying it now!

We got DD a swing 5 years ago. FIL promised us some cement that he had....we waited and waited and it never materialised but he kept promising he'd come and do it. Recently he told is he'd given it to a neighbour - after me having to lean on the bar on the side to hold it down all these years 😂 The good news is, she has had a LOT of use out of the swing! We're going to get some cement post now we know it's not coming!

Post cement even - I was too busy talking to the cat and not concentrating 😂

Signmaker husband advice here: 20kg per leg is fine

Place frame legs in holes
Add dry mix in holes
Add water
Tap down with stick
Leave for min 24 hours
