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 Silverback®
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.

2. Align the upper pole (#3) with the bottom pole (#2) as
shown in Figure 3 and slide them together. Stand poles up
on a block of wood, lift poles up and hit on a block of
wood until the bottom of the upper pole reaches the 6”
mark on the bottom pole. Hit poles a minimum of 7 times.
This is a friction-locking joint and requires no hardware.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT hit poles with hammer or
sledge hammer to slide poles together.
Place Pole Cap (#1) onto top of Top Pole (#3). Note: Pole
Cap may be pre-installed by the factory.
Slide Actuator Sleeve (#15) over Actuator (#16) and place
