1. Read this manual carefully before starting assembly. Read each step completely before beginning each step.
2. Some smaller parts may be shipped inside larger parts. Check inside all parts and cartons before assembling or ordering
parts.
3. To make assembly easier, use the Parts List and Hardware Identifier on pages 4, 5, 6, & 7 to identify and sort all
components. Check all cartons for kits. All hardware may not be located in one kit.
4. Do not tighten hardware until instructed to do so. If hardware is tightened too soon, mounting holes may not align and
parts may not easily fit together. Leave locknuts slightly loose until you are instructed to tighten them.
5. An electric screwdriver is helpful in assembly. However, please set at low torque and use caution because you could
overtighten the hardware and strip the screws.
6. Save these instructions and your proof of purchase (receipt) in the event that the manufacturer has to be contacted for
replacement parts.

If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.
4 people are recommended for this operation.
Backboard installation must be performed by a professional with capable lifting equipment.
Seat the pole sections properly (if applicable). Failure to do so could allow the pole sections to
separate during play.
Before digging contact utility company to locate underground power cables, gas and water lines.
Ensure there are no overhead power lines within 20 ft. (7m) radius of pole location.
Climate, corrosion or misuse could result in system failure.
If technical assistance is required, contact our Customer Service department located on the cover

INSTALLATION TIMELINE
1. Prior to anchor system and goal assembly, call utility services (811) 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)
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)

1.
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.
THESE NUTS
USED FOR
LEVELING
Note: When digging hole, if you hit rock
and cannot dig through contact a contractor.
Items needed for Anchor Installation (not included)
11 - 80 lb. bags of concrete (2-3 extra recommended)
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

OVERHANG
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.
DANGER
Assemble anchor system as follows: Thread
nuts (#29) to the bottom of threads of 4 J Bolts
(#34). Insert threads of J Bolts (#34) up
through holes on the anchor plate (#33) and
secure with nuts (#29). See Figure 2.
Note: Each leg of J Bolts should face the
anchor bolt to the right. See Detail A.
J-BOLTS
#34
Figure 1
Determine the desired location of the
backboard over the playing court. From that
location, use the overhang distance of 60” (5ft)
to determine the correct location of the anchor
system. See Figure 1.

ANCHOR SYSTEM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Day 1)
NOTE: Failure to dig and fill the hole as instructed will result in increased system vibration.
3.
6.
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.
*Tip: It is always a good idea to purchase one or two extra bags of concrete, just in case
you need them. If extra bags are not used you can return them to the store.
4.
5.
Mix and pour concrete into the hole. Follow instructions on the concrete bag. Stop about 18" below court level.
Insert four pieces Rebar (#35) into concrete 8" apart creating a square in the center of the hole.
Place the concrete form in the desired location and finish pouring concrete up to and even with the court level.
Push anchor system into concrete and agitate to work out voids in concrete. Immediately use a level to level the
anchor plate and then square the anchor plate to the playing surface. Clean off any concrete that may be on
exposed threads.
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 1 on page10)
Let concrete cure for a MINIMUM of 72 hours.
Figure 3

Court Level
IMPORTANT
The top surface of the concrete
should be level with the
playing surface (Court) to make
sure the hoop is at 10' once
installation is complete.
