Air Squares 4 Setup Instructions

Set Up Instructions
The 4 Air Squares requires approximately a 25' x 25' flat area.
The 9 Air Squares requires a 30' x 30' flat area.
If playing on grass, you will likely need a mallet or rock to pound the spike anchors during set up.

Game parts included:

•
One 4 or 9 size top net (both if a combo set)
•
Four sectional poles with end cap and tip
•
Four guy ropes with adjustable tensioners
•
Eight yard spike anchors
•
Eight beach sand bag anchors
•
One Air Square drawstring ball bag

Step 1: Top Net

Note: The top net ropes are shipped with three overhand knots in the bundle. This is done purposefully to
aid in the layout process, eliminating confusion and tangling.
Untie the knot furthest from the ends with the white plastic thimbles (which will go over the top spindle
points of each pole). Untying this knot will now allow the rope net to lay open to its full length. Next,
untie the next knot at each new "end", again, furthest from the ends, which will allow the net to lay out
into a large square, with either 4 or 9 squares. At this point, note that each corner of the net still has an
overhand knot to be untied.
Lay the net on the ground or sand to approximately mark where each pole will be placed.

Step 2: Poles

Each pole assembles from the three sections into one long pole. Each time you use the game, take care
to check the tightness of the spindle point into its top cap, as it may loosen over time.
Note: If you are playing with smaller children, you may wish to take one section of each pole out and
adjust the inner shock cord to create a pole playing height of approximately 5'.

Step 3: Anchors

Place the stakes or sand bags approximately 7-10 feet away from where
the pole will stand, in a straight line with the outside edge of the net (see
figure). This means each corner of the net will have stakes or bags at a 90
degree angle from point where the corners attach to the poles. Tip:
When using the stakes, drive them into the ground at an angle away
from the game to make it easier to place the guys ropes over each at the
appropriate time.
