kits only require
approximately a 12 to 24 inch
diameter hole, and the depth of hole would be equal
to the length of sleeve that comes with your pole
plus 3 to 6" for gravel or sand. Best to have gravel on bottom
of hole for drainage. Dementions listed below are
for commercial poles, but the procedure is the same.
General rule is 3 to 4 times the diameter of pole
and 10% of pole height goes in ground. (20 ft. tall
pole above ground =2 ft. in ground). |

approx. diameter & depth given as all locations are
not the same but you can use info as a starting
