7. Check the concrete manufacturer's specications to see how long the
concrete needs to dry before proceeding to attach the remaining parts. Once
the concrete has properly set you may proceed with the assembly. Refer to
the Assembly Instructions at this point for further instructions.

Using a shovel place approximately six inches of gravel into the hole then
tamp it down with a 2"x4" board. Repeat this step one more time so there is a
total of 6" of gravel.
Place the post in the center of the hole. It should go down exactly 24.44". It
is necessary to set up a couple of braces to ensure the proper height and that
the post is level.
To do so hammer a couple of wood posts into the ground using a sledge
hammer and screw another post to each post using a drill. Then use clamps to
brace the posts together.
NOTE: When digging the hole it is recommended that it has a slight angle and
increases in size the farther down it goes. This helps prevent frost upheaval.
Mix the concrete in a wheel barrel to the manufacturer's specications.
NOTE: Check with a local contractor for the best option on how to pour
the concrete. Images 6.1 and 6.2 show two standard practices, but we still
recommend seeking out a local contractor.
Pour the concrete based on your local recommendation.
Dig out the holes for the posts using a post hole digger and a digging iron. The
minimum diameter of the hole should be 2.5". The depth of the hole should be
below the frost line to prevent shiing. 1 2
CAUTION: Call your local utility companies to mark where there are any
cables or pipelines before digging any holes.
