Product Overview

In short

The Jaypro MPCTF-GS is a heavy duty steel ground sleeve for 8 in. square Mega Outdoor Batting Tunnel systems (MPCTF). Each sleeve is formed from 11 gauge steel with a bottom base plate, weighs 69 lbs and is sold individually, so you order one per tunnel post.

✓ Authorized Jaypro Dealer — ships brand-new with full manufacturer warranty & support

This ground sleeve anchors the 8 in. square posts of Jaypro's Mega Outdoor Batting Tunnel system. It is fabricated from 11 gauge (0.1196 in.) steel sheet metal and includes a bottom base plate that seats in the footing, giving the post a solid, repeatable set point below grade.

The sleeve is designed to be set in a footing of concrete, pad or crushed stone, reinforced with eight 5/8 in. x 48 in. steel rebar sections wired together and supplied by others. Once cured, the tunnel post drops into the sleeve so the structure can be serviced or removed without breaking up the foundation.

Sleeves are sold individually at a shipping weight of 69 lbs each. Jaypro notes that the footing dimensions on the spec sheet reflect typical soil conditions and are general guidance only, so local building codes should be checked before any foundation work begins.

The warranty covers factory defects under normal, intended use. Jaypro will repair, replace or refund the defective item at its discretion; claims require a Return Authorization (RMA) before any item is sent back.
