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.

ANCHOR SYSTEM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Day 1)
Figure 1
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.
3. Mix and pour concrete into hole. Follow instructions on
concrete bag. Stop about 18" below court level.
4. Insert four reinforcement bars (#40) into concrete 8" apart
creating a square in center on hole.
5. Finish pouring concrete up to court level.
6. 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
Let concrete stand for a MINIMUM of 72 hours.
INSTALLATION TIMELINE
1. Prior to anchor system and goal assembly, call utility services for location of underground utility lines before you dig.
2. Vertical main post assembly is a two part process.
PART 1
Day 1. Complete Anchor System Installation Instructions.
(Below)
Day 2-4. Allow concrete to cure.
PART 2
Day 5. Complete Goaliath®
assembly instructions. (Requires
four adults)
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.
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.
Figure 2
2. Assemble anchor system as follows: Thread nut (#35) to bottom
of threads on anchor bolt (#39) insert threads of anchor bolt
(#39) through hole on anchor plate (#38) and secure with
nut (#35). Repeat this step for the
remaining anchor
bolts. See Figure
2. Note: Each leg
of anchor bolts
should face the
anchor bolt to the
right. See Detail A.
1. 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.

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.

SCREWS (#77) MUST BE INSTALLED TO POLE AS DESCRIBED
IN STEP 3. FAILURE TO INSTALL SCREWS COULD RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
NOTE: Cordless drill required for screw installation. Do not over
tighten screws causing screws to strip. Once Screw heads
touch pole, STOP! Overtightening will cause Pole to Warp
and damage system.
NOTE: To install screws, it will be easier if you use a cordless
drill with 5/16” socket (instead of Phillips head).
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.
NOTE: Self Drilling screws
(#77) are used. Holes are
only on outside Pole. User
must insert screws through
BOTH POLES.
WARNING: This pole assembly is heavy. Step 2 may require two adults.
Make sure you can control the pole when slamming it together. If you
are unsure if you can safely control the pole ask another adult to help
you. This helper can stand on the opposite side of the pole. Attention
should be paid to one’s feet and toes during entire slamming process.
NOTE: When slamming poles together make sure to keep the poles straight.
Slamming the poles down crooked will damage the bottom of the pole and
base plate. Top Pole must cover upper orange area of sticker. If Pole goes
slightly past the 6” mark, it is OK.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT hit poles with hammer or sledge hammer to
attach poles together.
NOTE: Top Pole must cover upper
orange area of sticker. If Pole goes
slightly past the 6” mark, it is OK.
Before putting any of the poles tubes together, make sure that the
orange area of the Warning Sticker on Pole (#2) is 6 inches from the
top end. Be sure that the “Back Side” stickers are at the back
of the pole. See Figure 3.
Align the upper pole (#3) with the bottom pole (#2) as shown in Figure 3 and
slide them together. While maintaining control of the pole assembly stand poles up
STRAIGHT on a piece of cardboard from your box, lift poles up by bottom pole
below the 6” mark shown on sticker and slam down the bottom pole as many times
as needed on the cardboard until the bottom of the upper pole reaches the
6” mark (on Sticker) on the bottom pole. See Figure 3. Should any concerns exist
about damaging your driveway, use a 12” X 12” piece of Plywood or mdf board.

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.
