Determine Installation Location
Consider the following to determine where to install your
Goalsetter® Basketball Goal:
• When extended, will backboard overhang obstruct driveway or
other important space? Maximum overhang: 61” (1.5 m) from
the front of the pole to the front of the rim.
• Is there room so vehicles backing out of driveway do not strike
backboard?
• Will court markings be used?
• How much playing surface is needed?
• How much playing surface will be under the backboard?
(Having the edge of the playing surface directly underneath
the backboard can result in trip hazards and unpredictable ball
action following a shot. Try to have as much playing surface as
possible behind the backboard.)
• Other functions of playing surface (driveway, playground, etc.)
• Will the goal be at least 20 ft. (7 m) from any overhead power
lines? (No overhead power lines should be within a 20 ft.
(7 m) radius of the goal.)
• Will the ground anchor for the goal avoid underground power,
gas, telephone, water and other utility lines? (See 811 One Call
Warning box on page 2 for more information or call your local
utility company.)

Ground Anchor Installation
Step 1: Locate and unpack a 4” ground anchor (Item
G2440). Remove plastic plugs from bolt holes and ensure the
threads are in good condition. REPLACE THE PLUGS – they will
keep concrete and debris from the bolt holes during installation.
Leave the hinge pin in place as well.
Step 2: Determine hole location. When installed, the
edge of the ground anchor must be a minimum of 6” (15.2 cm)
away from the playing surface. Follow One Call or your utility’s
recommendations as to how close you may dig to a marked utility.
IMPORTANT
You MUST dig the anchor hole at least 48” (1.2 m) deep.
WARNING
Before digging for the ground anchor, check for underground
power, gas, telephone, water and other utility lines. Failure to do
so could result in serious injury. See 811 One Call Warning box
on page 2 for more information or call your local utility company.
Step 3: Dig hole 48” to 50” (1.2 m – 1.3 m) deep and 14-16”
(0.35 m – 0.40 m) in diameter using a spade, shovel, auger or
post hole digger.
MUST be pointing toward the playing surface.

Step 6: Position 4” ground anchor (Item G2440) in
center of hole with hinge side toward and parallel with playing
surface. Using a level, ensure the anchor is level front-to-back
and left-to-right. All edges of the ground anchor must be 6” (15.2
cm) away from all sides of hole and the top of the ground anchor
within a range of 1”- 3” (25-75 mm) above the level of the playing
surface.

Step 4: Mix concrete. Put concrete in wheelbarrow. Add the

TIME OUT TIP: As you add concrete, occasionally
or four places in the concrete and plunge up and
down to help eliminate air bubbles.
Step 7: Continue adding concrete until concrete is within
1”- 1.5” (25-38 mm) of anchor plate bottom, or level with the
landscape – whichever comes first. Slope top of concrete away
from pole with trowel to create a smooth surface.
IMPORTANT
• Periodically re-check the level of the anchor plate in both
directions as you add more concrete.
• Slope the top of the concrete ll away from the ground
anchor in all directions to shed moisture away.
TIME OUT TIP: If you must adjust the height,
be sure to re-check level and that the anchor is
parallel with playing surface!
Step 8: If needed, adjust anchor plate height. The top of
the ground anchor should be within a range of 1”- 3” (25-75 mm)
above playing surface. Be sure to re-check level.
Step 5: Begin adding concrete into hole until concrete is
approximately 28”- 30” (.7 m – .8 m) deep.

Pole Assembly
IMPORTANT
• Allow 48 hours for concrete to cure before beginning.
• Check to see that no concrete or debris obstructs threads in
ground anchor bolt holes by threading anchor bolts in and out.
Step 1: Remove ve plastic plugs from threaded
holes in ground anchor. Also remove hinge pin and hex nut
and place near anchor plate. (These will be used in Step 3.)
packing pad (included in pole box) on the ground
at the bottom of pole. Remove once pole is held by
installation clip.
TIME OUT TIP: To protect pole nish, place square
Step 2: Unpack pole and jack (or stabilizer bar for
xed height goals). Jack (or stabilizer bar) comes packaged
with the pole.
Step 3: Align pole hinge with anchor plate hinge, then
insert hinge pin and hand tighten hex nut.
Step 4: Lift pole to approximately 30º and attach
installation clip to ground anchor and pole to maintain the
installation angle.
IMPORTANT
The installation clip MUST remain in place until pole is raised in
Goal Alignment, page 9.
WARNING
Two or three people in good physical condition and capable of
lifting at least 90-100 lbs. (40-45 kg) each are recommended for
safe installation and assembly.
