Locate and dig footings for each upright. Poles are set in ground sleeves.
Confirm all locations before setting.
Position and level gravel or a flat concrete pad in the bottom of the hole so
that the sleeve opening rests at the proper height at the surface.
Fix and support the sleeve in position with wire and/or sections of rebar to
prevent sleeve movement during the concrete pour.
During the pour, ensure the alignment holes at the top opening of the sleeve
remain properly aligned. These holes help orient the pole alignment pins at
the bottom of the sleeves.
The footer size is to be determined by the architect/engineer and is based on
local codes and soil conditions.
Concrete must be allowed to fully cure before continuing
NET ANCHOR PIERS:
1. Dig a 5" x 24" deep hole for each net
anchor pier. Piers should be placed 38" to 40"
in front of each net pole.
2. During the concrete pour for the ground
sleeves, fill each hole to within 1-1/2" of the
surface level. This will place the eyebolt
anchor point below the surface level so as not
to interfere with mowing.
3. After concrete has cured, drill a 1/2" x 2
1/2" deep hole in the center of the pier for the
stainless steel threaded anchor. Clean the
hole and insert the threaded anchor. Seat the
anchor with a 5/16" pin punch and install the
3/8" eyebolt.
