TOOLS AND HARDWARE REQUIRED FOR THIS PAGE

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

inspector to determine the proper hole depth. The edge of the hole

should be ﬂ ush with the edge of the playing surface.

Note: A Ground Sleeve is available as an alternative to cementing

the Pole into the ground. Please contact Customer Service or visit

Lifetime.com online for more information.

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

1.4

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.

Insert the 1/2” x 36” Rebar (not included) inside the Bottom Pole (ALE)

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.
