OWNER'S MANUAL
1. Read this manual carefully before starting assembly. Read each step completely before beginning
each step.
2. Some smaller parts may be shipped inside larger parts. Check inside all parts and cartons
before assembling or ordering parts.
3. To make assembly of your basketball system easier, use the Hardware Identifier on page 4
to identify and sort all fasteners. Check all cartons for kits. All hardware may not be
located in one kit.
4. Do not tighten hardware until instructed to do so. If hardware is tightened too soon, mounting holes
may not align and parts may not easily fit together. Leave locknuts slightly loose until you are instructed to
tighten them.
5. An electric screwdriver is helpful in assembly. However, please set at low torque and use caution
because you could overtighten the hardware and strip the screws.
6. Save this instruction and your proof of purchase (receipt) in the event that the manufacturer
has to be contacted for replacement parts.

Before digging hole for anchor system, check for
buried power, gas, water, and telecommunication
lines! Failure to do so could result in serious or fatal
injury! Contact your local utility company if unsure.

Concrete
Court

Items needed for Anchor Installation (not included)
9 - 80 lb. bags of concrete
1 - wheel barrow
1 - post hole digger (optional)
1 - garden hose
1 - 15/16” open end wrench
1 - level
1 - 15/16” socket and ratchet (optional)
1 - tape measure
1 - concrete form (see note after step 2)

Determine the location of the anchor
system. The proper location is as close to
the court without making contact, as
shown in Figure 1. This,
however, is a general rule.
If you need to locate the
anchor system in a location other than
this, use the following dimensions as a
guide.

Overhang when adjusted to 10 ft. = 27”

CLEARANCE
REQUIRED

Anchor Plate must be
square to your court so
the backboard will
line up with court.

Note: It is recommended that you use some sort of
concrete form for the top 4" of the concrete. Cardboard
forms can be purchased at some hardware and home
stores or a wooden form can be constructed out of 2 x
4's.
Note: Failure to dig and fill hole as instructed will result
in increased system vibration.
3.

Mix and pour concrete into hole. Follow instructions on
concrete bag. Stop about 18" below court level.

Insert four reinforcement bars (#40) into concrete 8" apart
creating a square in center on hole.

Finish pouring concrete up to court level.

OVERHANG

Note: Minimum of 18” rear clearance is required behind pole.

Rebar #40

36”

Note: For best results with less vibration, anchor system
should be independent of court. If pouring concrete for
both at same time, add an expansion joint in between.
Note: When digging hole, if you hit rock
and cannot dig through contact a contractor.

bolts. See Figure
2. Note: Each leg
of anchor bolts
should face the
anchor bolt to the
right. See Detail A.

Push anchor system into concrete and agitate to work out
voids in concrete. Immediately use a level to level and square
anchor plate to playing surface. Clean off any concrete that
may be on exposed threads.
Note: The bottom four nuts will be forever embedded
in concrete. The top four nuts remain on bolts and
are used for leveling. (See Step 15 on page 9).
Let concrete stand for a MINIMUM of 72 hours.

Assembly on its side on two padded saw horses. Insert a (#77) Screw into
each 3/16” hole in top Pole, two on each side of the Post Assembly. You
will need someone to hold the Pole assembly while inserting screws.
Screw must go through both Top and Bottom (Inner) Poles. Make sure to
not strip screws once they are all they way through. See Figure 4.
NOTE: Screws #77, used in step 3, are Self Drilling screws and
can be installed without drilling pilot holes. However, it
will be easier to install screws if you drill 9/64” pilot holes
in bottom pole. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES if drilling holes.

anchor system and secure with one flatwasher (#37), one
lock washer (#36) and one hex nut (#35) for each anchor
bolt. Tighten Fasteners finger tight, leave loose enough to
level pole. Place a level on pole and adjust bottom nuts #35
until pole is level (left to right and front to back). Tighten

24. Use the Backboard Pads (#44) and (#45) as a template and
mark the hole locations on the backboard frame. See Figure
13 and Detail A.
Note: Screws (#42), used in step 25, are Self Drilling
screws and can be installed without drilling pilot holes.
However, it will be easier to install screws if you drill
9/64” pilot holes. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES if drilling holes.

Detail A

25. Drill 9/64" pilot holes into steel backboard frame. See
Detail A. Do not drill through both sides of tube.
Note: Cordless drill recommended for screw installation.
Do not over tighten screws causing screws to strip.
Note: To install screws, it will be easier if you use a
cordless drill with 5/16” socket (instead of Phillips head).

26. Secure Backboard Pads (#44) and (#45), as shown, using
screws (#77). Note: Tighten screws tight but, do not over
tighten.

27. Raise Backboard to 10 FT. regulation playing

height. Measure from top of rim straight down
to the playing surface.
28. Using tape - mark the side of the steel actuator

(#16) just under the plastic actuator sleeve
(#15) at this 10 ft rim height. See Figure 14.
29. Lower backboard all the way down. Do not force

actuator once backboard is in it's lowest position.

6. As shown, insert one end of the fiberglass rod into the
triangular pocket on the FRONT upper outside corners of
the net. The rod will then remain on the front of the net
until it reaches the second diagonal square from the
lower inside corner as shown in Detail 6. Please push it
though this hole and down into the fiberglass rod pivot
connector. Then carefully take the fiberglass tube sleeve
and slide it over the pivot connector as well.

Do this for both sides.

7. Your Yard Defender net should now be freestanding, please DO NOT stake down the outside of the net to the ground, it
should be able to raise and lower. This helps with ensuring the durability and performance of the product. It is time to put
on the pole pad (#48). Place the top edge of the pole pad just below the warning sticker on the front of the pole. Then
proceed to take the straps with the velcro and feed it through the border of the net closest to the pole. Connect
both straps behind the pole semi-tight so that the pole pad does not shift or fall as shown in the Side View. You should
do this for all four sets of straps. After completion, the pole pad should be holding the inside of the yard defender
nets against the pole.
NOTE: Bottom Straps on the Pole Pad do not have Plastic Clips.
8. Your Yard defender is now in the "deployed" position. It is highly recommended that you put the yard defender back into
"storage" position during competitive play to avoid the risk of running into the Yard Defender. This could damage the
product or user. The Yard Defender should also be put into storage position any time the system in not in use or during
stormy weather. To do this, simply follow the instructions on the next page.
