Mix 5 1/2 bags of concrete. Save 1/2 bag
of concrete to use later in the assembly.
Insert a 3/8 x 7 Hex
Bolt (HE) into the slots in
the pole and rotate the
pole so the Hex Bolt is
parallel to the playing
surface.
Form the cement so it slopes away
from the pole to allow water runoff.
Failure to do so may result in
premature rusting of the pole.

Mix the remaining 1/2 bag of concrete and pour the
concrete into the Bottom Pole until it is just below the
slots in the top of the pole. Tamp the concrete down
with a broom handle to remove any air pockets.

A thicker mix of
concrete will dry
stronger.
Do not overfill the pole or you may not be
able to assemble the rest of the pole
sections.

Allow the concrete to set for at least 72 hours (3 days)
before continuing with the assembly.
STOP!
The concrete must cure for at least 72 hours (3 days) before
installing the rest of the system. In humid climates or wet
weather, allow additional time for the concrete to cure. Do not
proceed until the curing process is complete.
Clean all excess concrete off the
outside surface of the pole.

Check the pole several times within the first
hour to make sure that all sides are vertical
and that the pole does not sink into the
concrete. The 14.5 mark must remain level
with the playing surface.
Place the 1/2" x 3' rebar (not included)
inside the Bottom Pole (BP).

The Ground Sleeve
provides an alternative to
cementing the pole into the
ground permanently. See Page 11
for more information.
Dig a round hole 24" deep and 18"
in diameter. The edge of the hole
should be flush with the edge of the
playing surface.
Measure 14.5" up
from the dimpled
end of the Bottom
Pole (BP) and
make a mark (do
not scratch the
powder coating).

Allow 1-4 hours
for the concrete
to set.
Completely tighten the Nuts.
Insert the Bottom Pole up to the 14.5 mark
and 4 away from the playing surface.
Fill the hole with concrete.
