INSTALLATION TIMELINE
PART 1
Day 1. Post assembly, pour concrete, set post and
Day 2. Allow concrete to cure.
PART 2
Day 3. Complete Silverback®
assembly instructions. (Requires
3-4 adults)
Before digging hole for your 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, your system
should be independent of court. If pouring concrete for
both at same time, add an expansion joint in between.
2.
1. Determine the location of the hole.
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
hole in a location other than this, use
the following dimensions as a guide.
Overhang when adjusted to 10 ft. = 14”
2. Vertical main post assembly is a two part process.
1. Prior to pole installation and goal assembly, call utility services for location of underground utility lines before you dig.

If you live in an area where frost heaves may pose a
problem, consult your local building inspector to
determine the proper hole depth. See Figure 1.

3. Place and center a masonry block in the bottom of the
hole so there is exactly 16” from the playing surface to
the top of the masonry block. See Figure 2.

Before putting any of the poles tubes together, note the Safety Stop Bar on the top
pole section and the corrosion armor on the bottom post. Be sure when
installing the pole in the concrete, the safety stop bar is located toward
back of the pole. See Figure 4.
Install the alignment screws (#31) into the middle pole and top pole, line up
the slots in the pole with the screw and then slide the three pole sections
together as shown in Figure 3 & Detail 1A.
6. Insert carriage bolts (#7) into the square holes in the middle and top poles
and fasten using washers (#18) nuts (#4) and plastic nut caps(#10). See
Figure 3 & Detail 1B.

block you placed earlier. See Figure 4.
PLAYING SURFACE
8. Set the bottom of the pole on the masonry block in the hole. Make sure the
Pole stays on the block as shown in Figure 4. The “Bury line” should be level
with the playing surface see Detail 1.
While one person holds the pole in place have two other people finish pouring
concrete up to court level. Use a level to make sure pole is vertical.
9.
Before the concrete sets up, be sure the pole is vertical and oriented correctly.
The stop bar located on the top pole should be parallel with the playing surface
or court. This will insure the backboard is oriented correctly after assembly.
Also, use the template provided on page 17 of the manual to align the pole to
the playing surface.
10.
THE FOLLOWING STEPS WILL REQUIRE
AT LEAST THREE CAPABLE ADULTS.

STOP BAR IS LOCATED AT THE BACK OF THE POLE.
For the backboard to be square with the playing
surface, make sure the Stop Bar is square with the
playing surface. Use alignment template provided
on page #17 of the manual.
11. Stabilize the pole by using six 2X4’s and placing two 50 lbs.
bags of sand on top to keep pole from shifting, periodically
check the pole with level to ensure that pole is vertical.
See Figure 5.
12. Let concrete stand for a MINIMUM of 48 hours (2 days).
Note: Periodically check pole with level to ensure that pole is vertical.
Figure 5
IMPORTANT!
Let concrete stand for a MINIMUM of 48
hours (2 days) before proceeding to the
next step. In humid climates or wet
weather, allow additional time for the
concrete to cure. Do not install anything
else until concrete is completely cured.
