INSTALLATION TIMELINE
1. Prior to anchor system and goal assembly, call utility services for location of underground utility lines before you dig.
2. Vertical main post assembly is a two part process.
ANCHOR SYSTEM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Day 1)
Before digging hole for anchor system, check for
buried power, gas, water, and telecommunication
lines! Failure to do so could result in serious or fatal
injury! Contact your local utility company if unsure.
PART 1
Day 1. Complete Anchor System Installation Instructions.
(Below)
Day 2-4. Allow concrete to cure.
PART 2
Day 5. Complete GoalrillaTM assembly instructions. (Requires
four adults)
Figure 1
Figure 2
2. Assemble anchor system as follows: Thread nut (#35) to bottom
of threads on anchor bolt (#39) insert threads of anchor bolt
(#39) through hole on anchor plate (#38) and secure with nut
(#35). Repeat this step for the remaining
anchor bolts. See
Figure 2. Note:
Each leg of
anchor bolts
should face the
anchor bolt to the
right. See Detail
A.
1. Determine the location of the anchor
system. The proper location is as close to
the court without making contact, as
shown in Figure 1. This,
however,is a general rule.
If you need to locate the
anchor system in a location other than
this, use the following dimensions as a
guide.
Items needed for Anchor Installation (not included)
9 - 80 lb. bags of concrete
1 - post hole digger (optional)
1 - 15/16” open end wrench
1 - 15/16” socket and ratchet (optional)
1 - wheel barrow
1 - garden hose
1 - level
1 - tape measure
Note: For best results with less vibration, anchor system
should be independent of court. If pouring concrete for
both at same time, add an expansion joint in between.
Overhang when adjusted to 10 ft. = 31 1/2”

CLEARANCE
REQUIRED
Note: When digging hole, if you hit rock
and cannot dig through contact a contractor.
Note: Using a concrete form for the top 4" of the concrete
is recommended. Cardboard forms can be purchased at
some hardware and home stores or a wooden form can
be constructed out of 2 x 4's.
3. Mix and pour concrete into hole. Follow instructions on
concrete bag. Stop about 18" below court level.
4. Insert four reinforcement bars (#40) into concrete 8" apart
creating a square in center on hole.
5. Place form in desired location and finish pouring concrete
up to court level.
6. Push anchor system into concrete and agitate to work out
voids in concrete. Immediately use a level to level and square
anchor plate to playing surface. Clean off any concrete that
may be on exposed threads.
Let concrete stand for a MINIMUM of 72 hours.
Note: The bottom four nuts will be forever embedded in
concrete. The top four nuts remain on bolts and are
used for leveling. (See Step 11 on page 8)
Note: Failure to dig and fill hole as instructed will result
in increased system vibration.
