NSTALLATION
1.
Determine the type of baseball league that will be playing on the field. The league type will dictate the
locations of the bases and field size. If foul line striping, pitchers mound and base location marks are not
placed on field, reference the onsite plans or consult the general contractor.
2.
Create a form/box for the flanged anchor stake footing. The form/box will be open top and bottom, and
must have inside dimensions of 6" square by 5" high. Place the form/box on a level surface, and dam the
edges to prevent leakage. Place one (1) anchor stake, flanged end downward into the center of the form.
Pour concrete into form/box until flush with the top edge. The anchor stake should be approximately 3 3/4”
above the top edge of the box. Allow a minimum of 24 hours for the concrete to fully cure before removing
the form/box and installing into footing location.
3.
Make sure the baseball diamond is level before excavating footing location.
4.
Excavate footing location minimum 9 3/4” deep from ground level. Top edge of the anchor stake shall be a
minimum of 1” below level grade. Anchor stake shall be perpendicular to level ground.
5.
Attach Anchor Plate to base with supplied hardware.
6.
Fill in hole by tamping soil solidly around anchor stake footing. Allow an area the size of the base to be 1”
below the ground level. Position base over footing, install into place with anchor stake sliding into anchor
plate on backside of base. The top of the baseball base Porter No. 33210 shall be 2” higher than the level
grade. See Detail “B”.
7.
Repeat above installation steps for the remaining bases.
