Figure 1
3.
Mix and pour concrete into hole. Follow instructions on
concrete bag. Stop about 18" below court level.
4.
Insert four reinforcement bars (Key #40) into concrete 8"
apart creating a square in center on hole.
5.
6.
Push anchor system into concrete and agitate to work out
voids in concrete. Immediately use a level to level and square
anchor plate to playing surface.
Clean off any concrete that
may be on exposed threads
.
Note: The bottom four nuts will be forever embedded
in concrete. The top four nuts remain on bolts and
Let concrete cure for a MINIMUM of 72 hours.
INSTALLATION TIMELINE

assembly instructions. (Requires
four adults)
Before digging hole for anchor 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, anchor system
should be independent of court. If pouring concrete for
both at same time, add an expansion joint in between.

Assemble anchor system as follows: Thread nut (#35) to bottom
of threads on anchor bolt (#39) insert threads of anchor bolt
(#39) through hole on anchor plate (#38) and secure with
nut (#35). Repeat this step for the
remaining anchor
bolts. See Figure
2. Note: Each leg
of anchor bolts
should face the
anchor bolt to the
right. See Detail A.
1.
Determine the location of the anchor
system. 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
anchor system in a location other than
this, use the following dimensions as a
guide.

(Key #40)
Note: Using a concrete form for the top 4" of the concrete
is recommended. Cardboard forms can be purchased at
some hardware and home stores or a wooden form can
be constructed out of 2 x 4's.
*Tip: It is always a good idea to purchase two or three
extra bags of concrete, just in case you need them. If
extra bags are not used you can return them to the store.
Place form in desired location and finish pouring concrete
up to court level.
