STEP 4
Establish the position of each ground socket.
We recommend using a measuring tape and spray paint to
do this.
We also recommend socket centres of 5m (16ft 5”) for our
aluminium posts although this may vary depending on what
setup you have ordered (for clarification please contact us).
For normal soil conditions dig holes 1050mm
deep x 600mm square.
If the soil is weak/sandy then the hole size will
need to be bigger. Please consult an appropri
-
ate grounds contractor for expert advice as we
cannot provide this information.
Place the socket correctly into position in the
centre of the hole ensuring there is a drainage
hole at the base of the socket.
If the soil is weak/sandy then you may need to
place rubble/stone at the base of the hole to
prevent the sockets sinking over time.
Pour concrete into the hole and allow to set.
Please ensure that you leave a gap of 50mm at
the top of the concrete block to cover with top
soil after the concrete has set.
