Question:
We built a swingset before yom tov, but did not have time to anchor it. Anchoring entails knocking metal pegs into the ground next to certain places of the swingset and then screwing those pegs to the wooden swing set. It would not be a very strenuous job, but I will need to consult the instructions for the placement of those anchoring pegs. It is usable for very small children if not anchored, but my five year old would be a bit too rough on it and the whole thing would lift if he swings too high. Is pounding in those pegs and screwing them to the wood considered maaseh uman or not?
Answer:
I don’t know. I would say to show the instructions to your local Rov and ask him if it is a maaseh uman and or tircha yiseira.
