5. Fill hole to top with concrete following the directions on the bag
for mixing instructions. This should require approximately 6 bags of
concrete. Save a 1/2 bag for use later in assembly.
6. Insert the bottom end of the LOWER POST into the wet concrete
pushing it down until you reach the 8” mark you made on the
outside of the post. Front edge of post should be 4” away from
playing surface. IMPORTANT! – Rotate LOWER POST so that the
holes punched in the top of the post are PERPENDICULAR (90
degrees) to playing surface edge. This will make sure the LOWER
POST is cemented with proper alignment to the playing surface.
7. Form the cement so that it slightly slopes away from the LOWER
POST to allow water to drain away. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PREMATURE RUSTING OF THE
POST!
8. Insert (1) ½” x 36” rebar (not included) inside the LOWER POST so
that the top of the rebar is 4” below the top of the LOWER POST. Using
a level, check the LOWER POST to make sure it is vertical front to back
and side to side. Also, make certain that the LOWER POST does not
sink into the concrete. The 8” mark must remain even with the playing
surface.
9. ALLOW 1-4 hours for concrete to cure. Be sure to continue checking
on the LOWER POST during the first hour to make sure it has not
moved out of position.
10. Next, mix the remaining concrete and pour the concrete into the top of the LOWER POST until it is
even with the top of the ½” rebar you inserted into the LOWER POST in step 8. DO NOT OVERFILL THE
POST OR YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ASSEMBLE THE REST OF THE POST SECTIONS!
11. Vibrate the concrete down in the LOWER POST using a broom handle to remove any air pockets.
12. Clean all excess concrete from the outside of the LOWER POST.
13. Locate the 3” diameter MID POST section. It is the section that has a hole drilled at both ends of the
post and two additional holes drilled approximately 22” and 24” from the bottom end of MID POST.
Again, the “reduced” end of the post goes to the top.
