How hard was it to install in ground without the sleeve? And be straight?

You don't have to use the sleeve. It can still be straight without it. Most hoops don't come with a sleeve anyway.

Same effort it would take to put the goal's post in. If there's even a slim chance that the goal will have to be removed (your HOA is run by nazis, etc.), I highly recommend using the sleeve. I'm glad we did.

If u r going to install a thru the wall air conditioner, u definitely need a sleeve for the unit to be stable and secure. It is simply the proper way to do it. Hope this is helpful.

I laid it on its side. I put one foot on the leg/metal cross bar touching the ground and then slowly applied body weight on the leg that was elevated off the ground. My body weight and a little bit of effort made it pretty easy to latch the two metal arms together. I wasn't able to apply enough pressure to push the two together with it sitting in my lap, but doing it the way I suggested was pretty easy and it does loosen up after that.

They're about a foot long and screw into the ground. They're very secure and you needn't worry about wind once you install them!

There's no ground insert. I cemented my poles into the ground. You could unscrew the top pole and take that out if you needed to, but you would still have the bottom pole sticking out of the ground.

I had a power awning and it was hard to slide into the track. It would be easier with a manual awning. As fas as I know the groove is the same for all awnings

I used an old sleeve and it fix fairly well. But you've gotta use one for a wall installation.

I did not get a sleeve hitch, but wished I had. Its ok to just pull, but it makes it difficult to turn around and back. All you can do is pull.

I would not bury this directly in the ground, needs to be put into electrical PVC conduit. Or the wire will degrade if installed directly in the dirt,and stop working

Not difficult to assemble if you are even marginally handy. Be sure to assemble close to install point as carrying the arch alone was awkward. I used a rubber mallet for driving the stakes in the ground and bent the metal a little. Also measure and mark the spot of install ahead b/c the side can flex inward instead of staying perpendicular to the ground if the stakes are too close. My arch was missing a cross bar that spans the top...didn't effect its function so I never followed up.

good luck if it is windy!! very difficult. once it is in place though it does provide protection.

Not easily. I did it once out of necessity but wouldn't plan to do it on a regular basis. I haven't encountered any styles that are easy for one person to set up yet though...

I did not when I installed mine, it is a tight fit, but as long as you have someone to help you guide it in, you should not have too

We had a pretty level area, so we just put down a tarp and set up, maybe 30 min. The ground cover is a option... we thought it came in the box, but when you read instructions it says optional.... so we put tarp to add protection. We were so surprised at how easy and how great it turned out, kind of amazing, we love it!

You will need to provide some sort of weighted base. I put mine into the ground using a cement base. I dug a hole about 2 feet deep and about 1 foot in diameter then set the sleeve in the cement. Seems to work fine this way.

As you screw it to the ground keep it as steady as possible, so it goes in straight. If you find it difficult. Try to continually position yourself around as you screw it into the ground.
