Mark Placement Overview Pole Length Worksheet
The Mark’s optimal height is based on the crop you are monitoring.
Use our worksheet to help determine
the length of your pole.
Using our Mark Height Placement Guide on
the opposite page, write in the measurements
appropriate for your crop. Add the measurements
together for your total pole length.
NOTE: the Mark will be looking at a circular area below
it with a diameter that is twice its mounted height.
If you are installing a freestanding
pole, it should be:
12” in the ground + canopy height + recommended
height above the canopy = total pole length
If attaching to pre-existing infrastructure only add in
2-3’ and max crop height.
For example, you want to install a new pole among
plants with a canopy expected to grow to 18” and
planted in a 36”-wide row:
12” (underground portion)
+
18” Crop at full height
+
(36”/2=18”) Recommended above-canopy height
--------------
48” total pole length
2-3’ ABOVE CANOPY
+ MAX CROP HEIGHT
+ 12” BELOW SOIL LINE
= POLE LENGTH
