METHODS OF ANCHORING
Penetration of the buildings exterior must be made with weather-treated hardware such as
galvanized threaded rods, building washers and hardware. Care must be taken when drill-
ing through the block/brick, so as not to spall the outside surface. Use of the hammer op-
tion on drills is not permitted for this reason.
The Ideal Anchoring Methodology
The ideal anchoring methodology is at the time of wall construction, utilizing 1/2” diameter
(galvanized) “J” bolts of 1/2” diameter rods cast in place as shown on the left side detail in
Detail “C,” which negates the penetration of the outside wall. Porter can provide such
weather-treated hardware for the general contractor to pre-cast in the wall at the time od
construction. Simply order Part no. 00100000 for the hardware, and specify the backstop
model number with extension, type of backboard, and whether or not the optional height
adjuster is specified, for a planograph detailing the anchor locations.

DURING CONSTRUCTION
NOTE - ALL HARDWARE FOR ATTACHING WOOD PADS TO WALL ARE BY OTHERS. VERIFY MATERIAL AND
THICKNESS OF WALL, AND USE APPROPRIATE HARDWARE/ANCHOR COMBINATION (MINIMUM 1/2" DIA. HARDWARE).
FOR AN OPTIONAL THROUGH-BOLT HARDWARE PACKAGE, ORDER PART No. 00100000.
