Hi, All!
Here's our problem: We have one of those wooden playground sets with the dowel that holds up the vinyl (?) canopy. Well, we were supposed to take the canopy down before winter, but we didn't. We've been trying, for the last couple of months, to pull the dowel out to lower the canopy, but without luck.
The dowel is stuck. Can't twist it using pliers, can't hammer it loose.
Yep, we realize we should have taken down the canopy before winter arrived and the dowel swelled. 20/20 hindsight.
Well, for the remainder of the winter, we'd like to bring in the canopy. Anyone have any ideas on how we can finally manage to pull the dowel out of its holes and bring the canopy in? Another couple of snowstorms and we're gonna have tto shell out a hundred or so for a new canopy in spring.
In advance, thanks!
