How do you extend the pole please? thanks

It's simple. Simply twist the top part of the pole to the left to position the pole to the desired height. And twist to the right to lock it.

you unlock the pole by twisting the locking mechanism, extend and then twist again to lock

You extend it in the same way as you do with most types of extending poles, just grab the center and then rotate the bottom and then pull it out to your length and then tighten it up again.

As you can see it comes w extenders , check the max height and how low it will be w the lowest extender. Plus you twist it up ward so if you use 1less or no extender I think you should be ok. For my place I need the complete pole before even locking it to ceiling.

Put the baset at the highest position and use a wrench to attach. I also put a folded towel over the top of the pole, as the force of letting the spring go could cause some damage to your hand if it struck the top of the pole. (If you are trying to assemble this, you will understand what I am saying!)

I wouldn't do that, Judith. If the poles are too slippery, it will be impossible to extend them. I would invest $10 in a pair of tacky utility gloved to make the poles easier to hold on to. Baseball gloves should also do the trick. But the best bet....make one of your loved ones put it up for you and reward them with a giant hug :-)

I don't think you can ... Don't remember any thread at the handle end of the pole

Try x-pole.com... but use the extensions for the original x-pole not the one with the x joint. That is where I got mine.

Brian is right on the money. Build forms to raise the concrete the extra 10 inches and then backfill once the concrete is dry and the pole is installed. It sounds complicated, but it is really quite simple.

Unfortunately we do not have any longer poles at this time. Our current pole extends to 60 inches.

You have to tighten the set screw in the bottom of the pole to make it stationary before you can get it to loosen up. Then I used a pipe wrench to unscrew the top. The wrench they send is kind of useless

Answer below is correct. I've found every tool I've purchased attaches the same way to the pole. Use one and you know how they all work.

I do not think so. I have found the longer regular pole gets, the less stability it has as it is. So, adding another extension would even make it more difficult to manage.

There are 3 height positions on the inside of the poles holding the top pole. Just push the button, lower to one of the other holes and let the button click into that hole.

Simply twist & pull to open, then twist the opposite direction [indicated on the pole] to lock the height/length down; nothing to it. Do the opposite to close if desired [I leave mine set at the perfect height]; either way, works fine.

Haven't put my son's up yet. It's in the garage. It sounds to me like you will need to build a form up to the level of existing pad and pour concrete 12 inches deep to mount pole in. I don't think extending pole is an option.

You can move the net up and down a few inches on the poles (adjusting the rope that holds the upper corner of the net). Also you can drill an extra hole in the lower portion of the pole to telescope one part into the other a little further (locking them with the spring loaded button into the drilled hole) to make the pole lower. You can't, however, make the poles higher than they already are.

I used four staples and elmers glue. Two staples were used to secure the rope in place at the beginning, note: the staples were covered by the first row of rope. I then put a little of elmers glue a few inches up and started wrapping the pole as you wrap the rope around the pole be sure tap it down to condense rope. By tapping down rope you get a very tight wrap. Once the glue was covered I added a little more another 3 to 4" up continue the process up the pole. I ended with two staples

Funny! I tried it a for awhile, it did not work. Went back to it, it did not work. Finally I figured it out. Have you figured it out yet? A couple of things: 1) the pole pulls out to be longer. It should be as tall as you are. 2) it seems like it does not fit in hole. But, you have to push hard. 3) Look at picture on box. The parts will actually end up looking like the picture. (Smile)
