FT18 Ground Sleeve for Secure 6" Post Installation

The First Team FT18 Ground Sleeve provides a critical foundation for any 6" direct bury basketball system, ensuring long-term stability and precise alignment. Engineered to be buried 48 inches below the playing surface, this sleeve anchors your basketball post deeply, resisting movement from aggressive play and environmental factors like frost heave. Its design allows for the post to be inserted and secured with eight ½"x 1 ½" hex bolts, which are crucial for plumbing the post perfectly level during installation. This adjustability ensures your backboard is always true, contributing to consistent play and a professional setup.

Once the post is set and leveled, filling the sleeve's interior voids with dry sand further enhances stability, eliminating any potential for post wobble. This thoughtful design not only provides a permanent, rock-solid base but also offers the flexibility to remove or replace the post in the future without disturbing the concrete foundation. Backed by a 10-Year Superior Warranty, the FT18 Ground Sleeve is a durable and reliable choice for establishing a high-performance basketball court.
