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 740mm deep.

3/The width Of the hole should be at least square 12" (304mm) 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 parking post. Place the ground socket into the hole so that the top of the post is at ground level.

6/ Wedge the post in position and check that it is verticle it may help to extend the post to the upright position to check that the post is verticle. now retract the parking post and fill 50% of the hole with hard core and compact. Check that the post is still verticle

7/ Fill the rest of the hole with concrete to just below the blanked rubber gromet/access holes. Now pack a layer of gravel round the post covering the access holes and then concrete to surface level (this will help, if you ever need to remove the top section of the post) Security feature: please note that even with access to these holes the post cannot be removed whilst in the locked position.

8/ Check that the post is still verticle, then retract 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.
