Note: For best results with less vibration, your system
should be independent of court. If pouring concrete for
both at same time, add an expansion joint in between.
Note: When digging hole, if you hit rock
and cannot dig through contact a contractor.
1.
Determine the location of the hole.
The proper location is as close to the
court without making contact, as
shown in Figure 1. This,
however, is a general rule.
If you need to locate the
hole in a location other than this, use
the following dimensions as a guide.
Overhang when adjusted to 10 ft. = 14"
Note: Minimum of 18" rear clearance is required behind pole.
2.
Dig a round hole 32" deep and 16" in diameter at
the top and 20" in diameter at the bottom of the hole.
If you live in an area where frost heaves may pose a
problem, consult your local building inspector to
determine the proper hole depth. See Figure 1.
