Locate a spot for the post and television.
Dig a square 14”x14” hole like shown below. We recommend that the
hole should have a minimum depth of 24”, however depending on
your location of install depth can or may need to be determined by the
frost line of that area. Please check frost concentration in your location
before installing your in-ground post.
Once the hole is dug, gather your wheelbarrow for concrete mixing.
Be careful when mixing concrete. Wear gloves and eye protection if
possible. Do not handle concrete by hand without gloves as it may
damage or burn the skin.

Pour the concrete mix into your
wheelbarrow or mixing container.
Check the packaging for the amount
of water needed to create a mix of
concrete. After measuring, pour the
water into one side of the wheelbarrow
or container. Be sure to measure the
amount of water needed. Most 80
pound bags require no more than 2
quarts of water. Some may require 3.
Using the Garden Hoe, mix the
concrete by scooping and brushing
back and forth. Mix till the concrete
is nice and thick. A good mix should
hold its shape without dripping or
crumbling apart.
Concrete mixture should not be soupy or crumbling. A soupy mixture will
weaken the concrete too much for setting and a crumbling or dry concrete
mixture will not hold together. If your nal mixture is very watery or soupy
then add more concrete mix. For a dry or crumbling nal mixture add minor
amounts of water and then mix to a wet thick concrete.

Once your concrete is mixed, have
a friend assist you with pouring.
Pour the concrete mixture to ll
the hole.
Pour slowly and evenly until
concrete mix has reached
ground level.
Once the mixture has been poured
into the hole gather the short post
sleeve to be inserted in the next
step.

With assistance insert the short
post sleeve into the center of the
concrete. It’s important that the
post sleeve is inserted straight
down and as level as possible.
Continue to press the sleeve down until the ange is against the concrete
mixture. Place the rubber spacer over top of the ange and proceed to
smooth the surface of the concrete mixture. Make sure to remove any
concrete above the ange as it will conict with the rest of the installation
process.
Once things are set in place, do not continue past this point until
concrete has strengthened and settled. Check the packaging of your mix
to determine the setting time for your concrete base.

NOTE: It’s important that you make sure the sleeve is level before leaving
