Dig a round hole 24” deep and 18” in diameter. If you live in an area

where frost heaves may pose a problem, consult your local building

TOOLS AND HARDWARE REQUIRED FOR THIS PAGE

The slots in the Bottom Pole (ALE) must be parallel to the playing surface.

If necessary, insert a straight object (a ruler, wire, etc.) through the

slots in the Bottom Pole. Rotate the pole until the straight object is

parallel to the playing surface.

SEC

Note: Use a Level to make sure the Bottom Pole is standing vertical. Form

the cement into a downward slope away from the pole to allow water runoff.

Failure to do so may result in premature rusting of the Pole.

so it is about 15” from the top of the pole. Check the pole several

times within the ﬁ rst hour to make sure that all sides are vertical and

that the 14.5-inch mark remains level with the surface.
