Mix bags of concrete and pour into the hole. Follow
instructions on concrete bag. Stop about 16” from court
level so you can still see the top of the Masonry block you
placed earlier. See
Figure 4
.

Set the bottom of the pole on the masonry block in the
hole. Make sure the Pole stays on the block as shown
in
Figure 4
. The Bury line should be level with the
playing surface see

IMPORTANT
BE SURE THAT THE HOLES ARE TOWARD THE
BACK OF THE POLE AND “BACK SIDE”
STICKERS ARE AT THE BACK OF THE POLES/
OPPOSITE THE PLAYING SURFACE BEFORE
POURING CONCRETE ON STEPS 6-8.
Before putting any of the poles tubes together, mark bottom pole (#2)
6 inches from the top end.
Be sure to match up both “Back Side”
stickers on the back of the poles and that the holes on top
pole are toward the back.
See
Figure 3.
Be sure to match
up both “Back
Side” stickers on
the back of the
poles and that the
holes on top pole
are toward the
back.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT hit poles with hammer or
sledge hammer to attach poles together.
Align the upper pole (#3) with the bottom pole (#2) as shown in
Figure 3
and slide them together. Stand poles up on a piece of
MDF or plywood,
lift poles up by bottom pole
below the 6”
mark you made and slam down the bottom pole as many times as
needed on a piece of MDF or plywood
until the bottom of the
upper pole reaches the 6”
mark on the bottom pole. This is a
friction-locking joint and requires no hardware.
