Materials and Tools Required For Installation Not Supplied:

• 4 - 60lb Bags of Pre-Mix Concrete (Standard or Quick Drying)
• Water
• Tape Measure or Yardstick
• Level
• 15-20lbs of Pea Rock or Gravel
• Container for Mixing Cement
• 1 Roll Masking Tape
• Shovel, Spade, or Post Hole Digger

Ground Sleeve Installation Steps:

STEP #1
Read instructions completely. Select the location for your flagpole and be sure that there are no obstructions; utilities or power lines beneath the surface or overhead.

STEP #2
Dig a round Fence Post Size hole, 14” in diameter and 28” deep. A larger hole may be required for soft or sandy soil.

STEP #3
Be sure that your hole is at least the size stated in the previous step. Now shovel in 4-6” of gravel into the bottom of the hole. This will provide water drainage.

STEP #4
Install the stop bolt completely through the pre-drilled hole in the ground sleeve. Hand tighten only.
Mix the concrete according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

STEP #5
Push the sleeve into the gravel while making sure that the ground sleeve is at least 1” above ground level.

STEP #6
If you fail to push the sleeve into the gravel, it will allow the concrete to seal the hole and prevent water drainage.

STEP #7
Use your “red cap” to cover the ground sleeve. Begin to shovel the concrete into the hole around the ground sleeve being careful not to disturb the sleeve position.

STEP #8
Remove the red cap to check the sleeve for plumb with a level in several locations. Install the red cap into the sleeve to prevent foreign objects from entering sleeve.

STEP #9
After 24-48 hours of drying time, take off the red cap, place your flagpole into the hole.
