variety of styles such as an arc, wave, or straight-line;
we suggest one of the following layout orders:

Step 2:
After choosing your layout, excavate (9)
10" Diameter holes, at 36" deep.
Step 3 (Optional):
Pound 18" of 36" long Steel Rebar
(not provided) into the center of each hole.
This process helps with keeping the Chimes
vertical while the concrete cures. Place each
Chime and Mallet Pole into their hole over
the rebar.
Step 4:
Place each Chime and
Mallet Pole into their hole,
then pour concrete
around the poles within
0" Ground Level
the holes. Check that
everything is level. Leave
concrete to set according
10" Excavated Hole
to the concrete
manufacturer's guidelines.
If necessary, brace the
Chimes to hold them rigid
during the curing process.
Approximately (27) 80lb.
bags will be needed.
(
Chimes must be as vertical
as possible for best sound

Step 2:
Determine installation location. Verify concrete
footing is a minimum of 132" long x 18" wide x 6" thick,
depending on the layout you go with. If the concrete
pad is at an angle, steel washers are required to act
as shims (Shims not provided). If there is not already
an existing pad, approximately (23) 80lb. bags will
be needed. Allow concrete to cure per concrete
manufacturers guidelines.
Step 3:
With two people place the Chimes and Mallet Poles
individually onto the concrete pad and mark the
center of the holes on the surface mount plates.
After you have made your marks, set aside the Chimes
and Mallet poles in order to drill for anchor holes.
With a hammer or rotary drill, drill through concrete
at marked locations. Drill to a minimum depth of 4".
A 3/8" masonry drill bit will be needed.
Step 4:
Place the Chimes and Mallet Poles back over the
drilled out holes. Insert provided anchor bolts into
aligned holes. Position anchor nut so that it is flush
with the top of the bolt. Pound anchor bolts into the
hole until the anchor washer is flush with the surface
mount base. Tighten anchor bolts until they are snug.
Cover remaining bolt sections with provided nut caps.
