Assembly & Installation Instructions

Installing the In-Ground Mounted Posts for the
Signage Into Concrete
Dig the holes for the 2 concrete footings, and prepare the concrete.
You will need approximately 9 cubic feet
The top surface of each footing should be about 12” by 18” and
extend 36” into the ground. See the illustration for the relative
position of the rectangular footing to the post. This is shown for one
of the posts. The other post is the same.
The bottom of the holes for the concrete footings should be filled with
about 6” of gravel to promote drainage under the posts. The tops of
the footings should be sloped for water runoff.
The concrete must reach below the frost line. Otherwise the posts
will move when the ground freezes.
Be careful not to puncture water, sewer, or gas lines when digging
holes for footings.
Set the posts in the holes and fill the holes with the prepared
concrete mix. Prod the mix with a stick while filling to reduce any air
pockets. If you want to conceal the concrete, pour it to within a few
inches of the tops of the holes and cover with soil after the concrete
has set.
Use a carpenter’s level on the sides of the posts to ensure that the
posts are aligned vertically. Periodically check the vertical alignment
of the posts as the concrete is curing.
