Kickmaster Quick Up Goal And Target Shot

Product Information

The crossbar is also extremely strong, which is the component which often starts to badly ‘dip’ after months of tension and pressure on standard goal posts. Customers report that this premium goal holds its shape much better than plastic goal posts, and is in another league (!) in terms of stability compared to cheaper models.

The following guide will give you a better idea of what to look for when choosing football goal posts for the garden. Materials This goal measures 1.8 x 1.2 m (6 x 4 ft) which makes it a good size for children up to approximately 10 years old. Although it may not be quite as robust as the solid-frame goals featured on this list, it’s a really excellent option if you’d prefer to have temporary posts in the garden that can be speedily put up and taken down. If so, aluminium posts are very popular as they’re rustproof and take the hassle out of putting them up and down if it rains, plus they are lightweight enough to move single handed. Pop-up goals are available in all sizes, so you don’t have to be limited to a compact goal. However, even small 1.2 x 0.9 m (4 x 3 ft) pop-up goals can be enjoyed by children of a large age range; they’ll just be more like target practice for older kids. You should also consider a pop-up goal if you want something that’s easy for kids to take to the park, beach or on holiday .There are different designs available, depending on what you’re after. Goal posts with targets can help improve precision, whilst larger nets stop footballs going into the neighbour’s garden. Alternatively, pop-up goals can be a great option for family holidays or smaller gardens. As you would expect, these goal posts are extremely robust and can be left outside in all weather. Although the galvanised steel may suffer some discoloration, it doesn’t rust – even after several years. As with all the best football goal posts, the Steel 42 comes with bungee cord net attachments and anchor pegs to keep it safely in place.

Simple to build in just 15 minutes, these are some of the best football goal posts for ease of assembly. There are less clips to connect the net to the crossbar, which is the part that can be particularly fiddly with other goals. This does mean that the net is unlikely to have the same level of tension of some nets, like the Forza Steel42, but it’ll be less fuss to put together. When it comes to material you should think about whether you need to leave football goal posts outside all year round. Steel free standing – large steel goals need construction and must be securely anchored. If you don’t plan to move them, the feet can be concreted into place. This goal is incredibly easy to set up, even for kids to do on their own. There’s no frame to put together, and it simply pops up straight out of the bag. When you want to put it away, it’s easy to collapse the goal down into the included carry bag. It’s lightweight, and the carry bag comes with a shoulder strap so it can be taken to the beach, park or a friend’s house. Portability: The ability to move your goal around the garden is a significant advantage. Goals with lightweight frames are appreciated for their convenience.

You'll find pop-up goalposts which are handy for those who don't have a ton of garden space and don't want to keep their goal out the whole time, but which you can assemble at a moment's notice. When it comes to permanent goal posts, there are a few options in terms of construction material. Choose galvanised steel posts if you want the most durable option – the crossbar is unlikely to dip over time which can happen with other models.

Suitable for young children up to teenagers, this 1.8 x 1.2 m (6 x 4 ft) goal comes with the goal posts, a strong rot-proof net, net clips, and ground anchors to keep the goal firmly in place even if the keeper bashes into it. Of course, you can ignore this advice as it’s only regulation for professional games, and after-school clubs, but you’ll find the sizes make sense compared to your kid’s height. The thinnest netting grade is 1.6mm. It’s cheap and won’t last long, a better option is netting that measures 5mm – this is what they use in professional matches. It’s more expensive but it’ll last you longer. Folding portable goals – the easiest and cheapest option. They fold out and fold down again. All you have to do is fit the ground anchoring pegs. All of the materials are fully weatherproof as well, so there’s no need to take the goal down everyday after use. The net itself is UV treated, protecting it from degrading in sunlight.Durability: Garden football goals need to withstand all sorts of player abilities and weather conditions. We look for goals constructed from sturdy materials like steel or weather-resistant PVC to ensure they can handle the elements.
