The
poles are attached to the ground below by slipping them approx. 10-12"
deep into anchoring pipe of the next larger diameter, in this case 1
1/4," which I've driven into the ground from a point just above
the surface to approx. 18-20" deep.
Note: It will be necessary to remove the anchor pipe at intervals while
driving them in, to remove soil that will begin to fill the inside as
it goes, thus preventing the supporting poles from fitting into them.
The poles are then attached without the use of PVC glue to the "Tee"
fittings above and the Anchors below through the use of screws to hold
them in place. This will allow the easy removal of the frame during
the winter months when needed for heavy snow and/or to remove the heavy
build of leaves during the fall (Autumn).
