TOOLS REQUIRED:
(1) 3/8” Socket Wrench and Box Wrench (1) 7/16” Nut Driver
(1) 9/16” Socket Wrench and Box Wrench (1) Cable Cutters
(1) 3/16 in Rivet Gun
SPECIAL NOTES:
•Spacing between poles is 41 ft.
•It is recommended, but not required, that poles be placed 25’ to 30’ behind goalposts.
•Net should be removed and stored after the season is over.
•Remove and or lower and secure all netting if a major storm or extreme winds, in
excess of 50 mph, are forecasted.
Layout & Excavation:
Clear working area from obstructions. Determine the proper location for the poles on the
field. (See Figure 2)
Install Sleeves:
Dig footing hole using the dimensions shown in Figure 1. Pack bottom of footing hole
with 6” of gravel or concrete block or pour 6-1/4 inch concrete pad and allow concrete
pad to cure for 48 hours. Install ground sleeve and pour concrete as shown in Figure 1.
While not required, Jaypro recommends using 6 lengths of 5/8 inch rebar, 48 inches long,
wired together into a 24 inch diameter basket and placed around the ground sleeve in the
footer hole. Wait 48 hours before inserting poles. The top of the ground sleeve should be
flush with the finished grade.

Install Pole Hardware:
The pole is assembled prior to lifting into the ground sleeve.
Assemble 1/2” eye nut hardware & 1/4" cleat hardware and pole cap onto the poles as
shown in Figure 3 & 4. Route the hoisting rope through the pulley. Attach the snap hook
to the hoisting rope with a bowline knot. Temporarily attach the free end of the hoisting
rope to the snap hook.

Install Poles:
Before inserting the poles into the sleeves, check to make sure:
1. The cleat is installed opposite of pulley.
2. Run the hoisting rope thru pulley
a. Cleat both ends of rope (loosely).
It is suggested that the wild end of the hosting rope be passed thru the opening of the
cleat and a figure eight stop knot be tied at the end of the rope. This will avoid the line
from getting out of reach for the operator or worse the line inadvertently coming off the
pulley during a game. The pole slides into the ground sleeve.

Net:
Lay the net out lengthwise and cut the 3/16” coated aircraft cable to length, extending
each end enough to make up the loop. Make up a loop, as shown in Figure 5, on both
ends of the cable. Attach a cable to both the top and bottom edges of the net using the
cable ties.

MAINTENANCE:
•Before and after each season, thoroughly inspect the net for wear. Repair any
holes to prevent them from getting wider.
•Remove and store the net after the seasons use.
•Remove and or lower and secure all netting if a major storm or extreme winds
more than 50 mph are forecasted.
•When the poles are removed it is recommended that the sleeve openings are
covered with optional ground sleeve covers, sold separately (FN-30-D).
