GENERAL FOOTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Diameter and depth of footings illustrated are satisfactory in most
applications for pipe sizes up to 2 3/8” diameter. Varying soil & climatic
conditions may require deeper and heavier footings in some areas. Check
local building codes.

Permanent Installation Suggested Bracing Method
Footing
Total footing depth is 36” including the surfacing (of that 36” only 24” of
anchor will be put in footing hole. The remaining 12” will be nothing but
concrete). SportsPlay Equipment manufactures all equipment to include 12” of
safety surfacing. If using 12” of surfacing will need to dig your hole 24”
deep. If using less than 12” of surfacing your footing depth will need to be
deeper (6” of surfacing you would need to dig your hole 30” deep).

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION:
NOTE:
All threaded ends of bolts protruding beyond nuts must be cut off and/or
peened to eliminate sharp edges. No more than two threads should extend
beyond face of nut. All washers, “T” nuts and other fastener hardware
used on round pipe or tubing must be hammered down to conform to the
curved underlying surface to eliminate catch points. DO NOT tighten nuts
more than hand-tight until entire assembly is completed.
STEP 1
Mark footing holes per layout drawing on page 4. Dig the holes per the
footing drawing on page 3. (8 holes 2’ deep)
STEP 2
Start with one shell upside down and attach the two grilles by inserting a
5/16” nut through a 3/8” washer and into the grille. Then insert a 5/16”
x 2” bolt through a 5/16” lock washer the shell, grille and into the 5/16”
nut. Then move the shell into the proper position over the footing holes.
(see drawing on page 1 and below for help with this step).
STEP 3
Attach second shell following the procedure in step 2. Then attach the
Angle bracket where the two Grilles meet with the 1” bolt, lock washer,
flat washer and button head nut.

STEP 4
Attach anchor posts to shells by inserting a 5/16 x 1” bolt through a 3/8”
washer, the shell, then anchor, 3/8” waher and into a 5/16” button head
nut (see drawing below).
STEP 5
Block and Brace the entire unit up to accommodate 12” of surfacing (this
unit is manufactured for 12” of surfacing. See footing note on page 3 if
you are not using 12” of surfacing).
STEP 6
Plumb and level the entire unit. Tighten all hunts and bolts so that the
lock washers (if used) are flat and all regular hardware is tight. Pour
concrete and let set minimum of 48 hours or longer if the concrete
manufacturer requires it. After concrete has set, remove bracing and
backfill holes. Install surfacing in the entire fall zone per your
surfacing suppliers guidelines.
STEP 7
Attach warning label and manufacturer’s identification label to a clean
surface. Labels should be attached in a location where they are clearly
visible and legible and away from normal hand and foot placement.
