This system is engineered for those who need a secure playing setup but also value the flexibility to clear the court area or store their basketball system seasonally. The sleeve is designed to be cemented permanently into the ground, creating a robust, long-lasting receptacle that accepts your post whenever you're ready to play. It integrates seamlessly into your court's foundation, ensuring that your investment in a quality basketball system is both stable and versatile for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce the FT16 sleeve is properly installed 36 inches below the playing surface, your 4-inch square post slides directly inside. Eight durable ½\" x 1 ½\" hex bolts then secure the post firmly within the sleeve, ensuring a stable and wobble-free setup. These tension bolts are also critical for achieving perfect post leveling, allowing for precise adjustments front-to-back and side-to-side, so your basketball system stands plumb and true. This design not only simplifies initial installation but also facilitates future maintenance or replacement of the post itself, extending the lifespan of your overall equipment. Backed by a 5-Year Superior Warranty, the FT16 Ground Sleeve is built for lasting performance and practical use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs at a Glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for 4\" direct bury basketball posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllows easy post removal and re-installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSecures post with eight ½\" x 1 ½\" hex tension bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSleeve buries 36\" below playing surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFacilitates precise post leveling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-Year Superior Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox.
