6. Instructions to concrete ground sockets:
The following sketch will help you to concrete the ground sockets.
Note:
To enable a drain off of possible water we recommend to stick a tube below the holes of
the ground sockets. Do not apply an acceleration mixture or antifreeze as these adhesives
may cause damages of the sockets. After setting of concrete insert uprights in ground
sockets.
Sketch: Example for the installation of ground sockets
The sketch indicates standard field dimensions and net execution, distance of uprights
11 m. Dimensions have to be checked and adapted depending on the local situation
This is a standard Volleyball unit with 1 mechanical and 1 counter upright.
During tensioning of the net the uprights deform to the field centre. We recommend
to concrete ground sockets negative-going by about 1° declination to the outside.
These deformations are no defects and disappear when the tension is released.
