Do you need to bury the pole into the concrete ?

No. We just drilled holes into the patio, used concrete anchors and bolted it down.

I had the pole professionally installed and they did not fill the pole with concrete. I didn't read the instructions, so I don't know what it says. I do know that without it being cemented, you can possibly take it with you, if you ever move. A "sleeve" is cemented in the ground and the pole is attached to the sleeve. If you move, you just need to buy a new sleeve and install the new sleeve into your new house. The pole will then fit on top of the sleeve.

Yes, when I bought it, the pole and all hardware were included and easy to use. I elected to pour cement into a bucket & place a slightly larger pole into the cement to act as a sleeve so I could insert the included pole into it and remove if ever necessary. The weight was really important for me as I live in an area that can get some strong winds occasionally.

I don't believe it was made to handle that type of pressure. If you get the 60" backboard with the anchor system the plate itself is a barrier between the concrete and the pole. So my opinion would be that you don't fill the pole with cement. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Yes, you can bury in the ground with pvc for protection against frost movement of rocks and tree roots. pvc pipe is cheap. In the future you may plant something forgetting where the cable is and cut it with a shovel. As an electrican I never put any kind of cable in the ground without some lind of abrasion protection. It sure beats having to replace a whole cable because someone cut it years from now digging a hole for a bush.

Yes - we set the concrete up to about half inch from bottom of sleeve. Easy to get pole in and out of sleeve for martin house maintenance.

Yes, I mounted mine to a concrete wall. It is mounted solid. I have not had any problems.

You need preset holes in the concrete for the poles to fit in. About 1.5 inch diameter.

No ... in fact my arbor, which has now been installed for about 9 months, seems quite substantial using the posts that were packaged with it. Plus, in this part of the coast we have very sandy soil. Unless there is a compelling reason, concrete would not be necessary.

I used a 2" PVC pipe cut 3' long. I dug a 3' hole and poured s bag of concrete around pipe. Now I can insert and remove the pole when needed.

If you haven't installed the post yet, I recommend making sure you strictly follow the recommended instructions for the minimum depth and width of the hole when you dig. I found it much easier to mix the concrete in the whole after dumping in the contents of each bag, one at a time. Make sure that you have a hose handy and a long sturdy pole to mix. We have very little wobble to the hoop.

I simplified the installation by bracing the post in place and filling it with concrete while standing. I couldn't imagine filling the pole and then trying to lift and insert it into the sleeve that was already in the ground.

Not sure what you mean, but I don't think so. The pole is in 2 parts, the bottom one comes to a taper. You have to rock it back and forth to get it into the sand. A strong wind will knock it down.

No, you will need to dig a new hole and set the post in concrete. Best looking mailbox on the street though.

It isn't necessary bu we do have an old tarp that we put under our bouncer. I would definitely recommend putting a tarp underneath if it will be on concrete.

I would not bury it in the ground. I Would purchase an extension chord and just hook it to that. There is enough chord to do what you want however.

I didn't put mine in concrete. I think there were extra pieces that may be used for that, but I am not sure. Sorry!
