Bed and Breakfast Instructions
Location of a bed and breakfast should be
within 10 feet of martin housing.
Step 1)
Install ground stake (D). Dig a hole
24 inches deep by 6 inches in diameter.
Measure and mark 2” from the top of the
sleeve (the top is the end which has drilled
and tapped hole in it) Place a piece of pack-
aging tape or like over the top of the sleeve.
Place 2” of gravel in the bottom of hole.
Place the pvc ground sleeve (D) into the hole.
Mix one 80 pound bag of your favorite pre-
mixed concrete. Follow the directions on the
bag. Fill the hole with cement and pull up on
the sleeve so that your 2” mark is at concrete
level. Make sure the sleeve is plumb.
Step 2)
Assemble the pole. Each B&B has a
3 section pole. The top piece (A) which has a
bunch of larger holes, a middle section (B)
with a drilled and tapped hole at each end
and the bottom section (C). We will begin by
installing the splice pieces into the middle
section (B). You will need the 2 aluminum
bar splice sections (I) as well as 2 of the
¼
”-20 x
¼
” set screws (M) and the
⅛
” allen
wrench. Notice on the aluminum bar splice
piece a flat sectioned has been milled into
each end. Measure the splice piece and find
the center and mark it with the flat milled
section facing up. Thread one of the
¼
-20 x
¼
” set screws into the tapped hole on the
middle section. Do only enough so the set
screw will stay in place. Insert the splice flat
section up into the end of the middle section
and stop when you meet your center mark.
Using the
⅛
” allen wrench tighten the set
screw. The set screw should be tightened
and be just below flush on your pole. Flip
the middle section around and repeat this
step at the other end. Set aside the middle
section and get your top section of the pole
(A).
Step 3)
We will begin by installing the pulley
with attached eyebolt (O). Your eyebolt has
various pieces of hardware installed for you.
You need to remove the lock nut from the
end and one of the 2 washers. Insert the
eyebolt thru the lower hole on the pole, then
add the washer and then the lock nut. Using
a 7/16” wrench tighten the lock nut all the
way till it meets the pole. See photo 3A
Next we will install the top perch rods ((E)
into the larger holes above the pulley. Locate
