Post Installation – Plate Mount (Figures 3)
NOTE: This section provides information for proper location and installation of the plate mounted goal post. If
your installation requires a permanent mounted post or sleeve mount, proceed to the appropriate section.
1.
Stretch a string the length of the field centered on the playing
field. This string should be over the center of the holes on each
end of the field dug for the post mounts.
2.
Add 6” of gravel to the bottom of each hole.
3.
Install a ¾” nut, item 9.7 onto each anchor rod, item 6. Screw the
nut onto the rod 4 ¼”. Make sure 4 ¼” of thread is exposed
above the nut.
4.
Install each rod into the ground template plate, item 7, then add
another ¾” nut, item 9.7. Make sure the bent portion of the rods
are turned outward from the plate at approximately a 45º angle.
Tighten the nuts by hand.
5.
Fill the hole with concrete to approximately 7” below the ground
surface. Level a spot in the center of the hole about 10” in
diameter. Slope the concrete away from the center to promote
drainage.
