How much concrete do you put in the hole for the pole? 12'' deep x 8" wide

Assume that's the size of a post hole digger, get the smallest bag (about 25 lbs) of Quickcrete (with gravel), takes about 1/3 of a bag, can mix in wheelbarrow

Sorry; we didn't use concrete. We stuck the pole into the ground about 4 inches and wired it to an existing metal fence post. Been doing it that way for years.

Like a recent answer I also put my pole in the ground and tied it to the existing fence metal pole which is very sturdy and it works fine.LIZ Zeigler

You need preset holes in the concrete for the poles to fit in. About 1.5 inch diameter.

There is no reason to add concrete into the center of your pole - it will cause more long term damage than good. The concrete will make the inside of your pole rust which will reduce it's life span. If you have additional installation questions, feel free to call us at: 1-888-USA-GOAL. Thanks!

I mounted a 2" thick 16" deep 6' long slab of wood using 3 of these. They are heavy duty and 12" deep.

If mounting on wood make a 3/16-inch or 5 mm hole. If mounting on concrete make a 3/8-inch or 10 mm hole. 2 bolts are required for a safe installation.

Should be placed on 12-12 inch concrete slabs and should be anchored by placing rods on 4 corners anchored in 4-6 inches of concrete.

I purchased the 12" style and put them about 4-5" into the ground, leaving about 7-8" above. I was creating a rounded retaining wall on the backside of a concrete paver wall that I put a palm and plants inside. If the daylilies and vines are intruding via the ground, you might want to consider digging a trench and burying a pressure-treated 2" x 6" or 2" x 8" in the ground. It might be a less expensive solution.

I used a 6" x 18" round concrete pad. Drilled holes in line with the base holes and used concrete anchors to screw the base to the pad. It has never moved in over a year. Put a rock garden around the pad and you never see it.

Hi Charles, I added 3 extentions on mine making it an 8 X 17.5 feet. I was about 3 inches too long and 2 inches too wide when I was done. I got 8 "large" ( 104 lbs each) concrete blocks with a 4 X 4 bracket in it. I buried the blocks with just the bracket above ground. I used 18 foot 4 X 4's cutting them down as required, I took great care in making them level end to end and cross wise, I also used a string X style from corner to corner and squared it up. I then ran a row of cement bricks down the center, attaching 2x4 then a 4x4 every 2 feet between the side rails. I covered it with 3/4 plywood painting both sides (went to paint store and got throw away paint customer had brought back) the nailed it down. Followed the instructions I had a helper, building was completed in 7 hours. So answer to your question, lay out your floor on your drive way snap it together then measure it that will give you the exact size of the floor. I used a 4x4 inch flashing sliding it under the edge of the floor and letting hang down over the outside of the 4x4 floor frame. Put your time in on the foundation/floor the rest will go easy. My help was a young fellow, we stood the wall panels up in the slots on the floor, he put a hand on each corner then jumped up and let his weight pull the panels down, no hammer, went fast.

Someone measured it before. I copied it down as the following:very bottom outside diameter 6 1/8 " then up about 3/8 " with 1/8 projection to a outside diameter of 6 3/8 "...... not sure about the hole to hole....

If you are questioning the distance from the playing surface to the center of the pole, i.e., from the edge of concrete driveway to pole, this information is given somewhere in the directions. I don't recall the exact dimension as it was two years ago when I installed the pole. As I recall, if you follow the directions closely, and in order, the installation is trouble free.

Yes you sink the pole around 12-14" in ground. Oddly the lower half you fill with. Cement for weight. Pretty easy install but two man job. 4 hrs

The instructions call for SIX 90 Pound concrete bags. (540 lbs)You need to dig a 18" wide hole by 24" deep. The cement goes in the hole and later into the pole.You can view the assembly instructions at: http://www.lifetime.com/customerservice/assemblyinstructions

We did 10 ft pole. We had drill a hole in the side of the pole to feed the wires.
