1/ Please read the important notes below. Choose a location for the post insuring that the post will be free from obstructions, in both the raised and lowered positions.

2/Dig the hole to a depth of 290mm deeper than the length of the ground spiggot.

3/The width Of the hole should be at least square 300mm allowing enough room for the post and the filling

4/For water drainage, line the bottom of the hole with either gravel or rubble

5/Position the steel stabilising rod into the holes at the bottom of the spiggot. Place the spiggot into the hole so that the base plate and cover are at ground level.

6/ Wedge the post in position and check that it is verticle and ensure when the post is fixed the stripes will be facing towards the road, it may help to insert the post to the upright position to check that the post is verticle. now remove the parking post and fill with concrete making sure that the hole for the post is free from concrete

7/ Fill the rest of the hole with concrete to just below the surface plate.

8/ Check that the post is still verticle, then remove the parking post and leave for at least 48 hours or until the concrete is fully set.
The concrete mix should be a strong mix ie not too wet. We recommend a mix of 1 part concrete to 3 parts aggregate.

Important Notes
When deciding the loacation of the parking post, look for drainage covers etc and avoid installation between these points to try to prevent uncovering pipes etc. Dig slowly using hand tools so that if you do encounter a pipe or cable you will not damage them. If you do encounter a pipe or cable refill and select a new location. If in doubt consult a qualified builder for installation of this product.
