Scoreboard Mounting Measurements

Before we fabricate your mounting hardware, we need accurate measurements of the existing structure your scoreboard will attach to. Pick the option below that matches your structure and provide every measurement listed.

01 · Option A — If your structure is I-Beams

Three measurements required. Measure each beam in the same place to confirm they're identical.

CENTER-TO-CENTERDEPTHFACE WIDTH
  • Center-to-center distance from the center of one beam to the center of the other

  • Depth front-to-back dimension between the outer faces of the flanges

  • Face width width of the flange face (the part you'd see standing in front)

TipHook your tape on the same edge of each beam (left face to left face). As long as both beams are identical, that distance equals center-to-center — much easier than finding the exact center.

02 · Option B — If your structure is Round Poles

Three measurements required. If the poles taper, measure the diameter at the planned scoreboard mount height.

CENTER-TO-CENTERHEIGHTDIAMETER
  • Center-to-center — distance from the center of one pole to the center of the other

  • Height — distance from the ground to the top of the pole. We use this to confirm your scoreboard will sit at least 8 ft off the ground; if it won't, we'll recommend an extension.

  • Diameter — width of the pole at its widest point, at the planned mount height

Accuracy required: within ½ inch. Mounting hardware is fabricated to the numbers you provide — beyond that tolerance, our crew arrives on installation day with parts that won't fit, meaning a return trip, schedule slip, and an inaccurate-measurement charge. Take your time and call us if anything looks unclear.
