The mounting hardware will accommodate posts up to 7 inches outer diameter. Sink the posts in reinforced concrete footings. Figure 1 shows the spacing of the posts for a 1531 scoreboard. The specifications for the posts and concrete footings are dependent upon the expected local wind and soil conditions, the height of the scoreboard from the ground, and the local building codes.
