See back for assembly instructions including how to y at half-mast.
STEP 1: Select agpole location. Call 811 before you dig. Check for
underground sprinklers, water and electrical lines. Make sure your ag
has clearance to y in all directions. Are you too close to the house?
Watch the roof!
STEP 2: Dig a hole approximately 26” deep by 12-18” in diameter (26”L x
12-18”W).
STEP 3: Place approximately 3”of gravel in hole to allow for drainage.
STEP 4: Place aluminum ground sleeve into gravel – to prevent concrete
from owing inside.
STEP 5: Mix cement and pour around ground sleeve. Repeat until hole is
lled (the more cement the better). It is OK to have your ground sleeve
an inch or two above ground level. Can be lled in with mulch, dirt and/
or ower bed.
STEP 6: Carefully insert pole section swedge end up into ground sleeve
as cement will be wet . Use a level to make sure pole is straight. Remove
pole section after level, concrete must cure for at least 24 hours.
STEP 7: Assemble your agpole. Flip over for proper assembly
instructions.
STEP 8: Insert agpole into ground sleeve! Enjoy!
Manufacturer suggests taking agpole down during high winds and strong storms also
storing agpole during winter for those in aected regions.
