I've got my hole dug out and am getting ready to install this.Can I decide on filling the pole with concrete later?What about just the piece in ground

I didn't fill the pole with concrete. I dug the hole, tamped it down to level it, placed the cinderblock in, set the pole on top of the cinderblock and then poured the concrete to just above ground level. I didn't pour any concrete down the pole. I couldn't anyway b/c the two poles were mated already. No issues for me so far (1 year later).

There is no reason to add concrete into the center of your pole - it will cause more long term damage than good. The concrete will make the inside of your pole rust which will reduce it's life span. If you have additional installation questions, feel free to call us at: 1-888-USA-GOAL. Thanks!

Must use concrete its cheap and easy to do. Why not do it right if your that far along. Make sure you followed the directions as far as the shape of the bottom of the hole. I guarantee if you dont use concrete it will be tipped over after little use.

Yeah, i had my wire cut, so i know. I would bury mine next time, but i would never advise anyone else to, since i'm not a pro. It's heavy duty, but i would get large outdoor rated electric conduit to run it through, w elbows to take it out of the ground on each end. Maybe more hassle than unplugging each time.

The part of the pole that is designed to go into the concrete is only about 4" long. The fence would not be stable in the grass.

You will need to provide some sort of weighted base. I put mine into the ground using a cement base. I dug a hole about 2 feet deep and about 1 foot in diameter then set the sleeve in the cement. Seems to work fine this way.

The pole did come with it. Just concrete it in the ground. We absolutely live ours. My husband couldn't live without it.

I just installed mine. The hole should be dug to 32" deep and a cinder block is to be placed in the middle of the hole. The pole sits on top of the cinder block that is placed in the hole. I'm not sure of the exact length of the pole itself, however.

The hollow steel pole bottom is cut on a bias so you push it into the ground, maybe dig a little lead hole for it with a big screwdriver first. Once it is in ground, remember it will be 6 inches or so shorter than spec height. They look and work pretty well for me.

You have to install a tube for the pole to be inserted into (below ground or floor level). It comes with what they call a "ground spear" which is hammered into the soil. I put a block of wood on top of mine and really worked to drive it into the soil. Pretty tough chore. I think if you wanted to use it on your deck you would need get a tube made up and mount the tube assembly below the deck surface so no one would trip.Sean

I have mine installed in the dirt of a large planter with a bush in it. the pole comes in sections so I suspect if you want to put it in the ground you just take the bottom section, pound it into the ground and the add the other pole sections.

You will need a stand. Mine is installed through a hole in a round patio table and the pole sits in a stand on the floor. Hope this helps.

I just bought this system at the end of February. It looks great and DOES come with a ground sleeve. Make sure to follow the directions with the concrete and DO fill the pole with it. I'd be happy to let you know anything else you have a question with. P.S. If anybody else didn't get a ground sleeve they should have called the company!!!!!! TTYL.

Item should be completely assembled before putting into the ground. It cannot be assembled easily once pole in firmly inserted in ground. Make sure concrete is added to pole (2 bags or 115 lbs) before lifted onto anchored base or other foundation.

the hole needs to be 24" deep and 18" in diameter. I used four (04) bags of concrete mix, 80 lbs each. It is very solid in the ground.

Had to dig the hole to put the pole in and then I used quick set cement to keep it stable.

No, the poles slide into preset holes that were installed with the concrete. Please note that the ProVolly poles are smaller in diameter than the standard preset holes.

The 4 pegs that come with the windmill are not enough to hold it into the ground. I used 12 inch landscaping/edging pins to secure it into the ground. So far, so good. Concrete would be over kill. I do so love the windmills and they are worth the extra effort. Good luck in decision making!

I returned this item (to complicated) and opted to install it in concrete. Contact mdooling@etsmiami.com and Maria will give you complete details. Tom
