Before digging hole for your system, check for
buried power, gas, water, and telecommunication
lines! Failure to do so could result in serious or fatal
injury! Contact your local utility company if unsure.
Note: For best results with less vibration, your system
should be independent of court. If pouring concrete for
both at same time, add an expansion joint in between.

1.
Determine the location of the hole.
The proper location is as close to the
court without making contact, as
shown in
Figure 1
. This,
however, is a general rule.
If you need to locate the
hole in a location other than this, use
the following dimensions as a guide.
Overhang when adjusted to 10 ft. = 14”
2. Vertical main post assembly is a two part process.
1. Prior to pole installation and goal assembly, call utility services for location of underground utility lines before you dig.
