Effective for sure. Since the structure is made of wood you would only need to cut one bolt and the rest would burn to the ground. You would have a pile of ash and some bolts left over. Just hope the neighbours don't call the fire department!

With det cord it's just one blasting cap, and one continuous length, wrapping the swing in key areas where you want it cut. A mililisecond after detonation the swing is rubble and it'll mostly be in a pile.
Understood --- but dynamite would so much louder -- and stuff would be flying all over the place .... that's always fun!
