It installs easily in standard ground anchors and ships with steel ground anchors and rubber base plugs, so it equips first base on a game diamond without special field work. The double width separates runner and first baseman on a baseball and softball field that runs an anchored line like the M250 set. A straightforward pro double base, it is the fixed-feel companion to a safety-focused first base such as the breakaway {a("M950","M950")}.

Lift it for storage and cap the anchor with the included rubber base plug comparison part.
