Professional goal post installation - football and sports goals assembled correctly with proper ground anchoring. Net attached securely. Safe for enthusiastic play.
Garden Football Done Right
Goals in the garden mean endless entertainment. But they need assembling properly and anchoring securely - kids hang on crossbars, swing on nets, and use goals as climbing frames.
💡 Pro tip: Position goals so the ball lands somewhere safe - not into the greenhouse, flower beds, or neighbour's garden.

🔧 DIY Tips
Installing yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Screwdriver
- Mallet (for ground pegs)
- Allen keys
- Possibly a drill
📐 Safe installation

- Check all joints are tight

- Attach net with all clips/ties
- Test stability by pushing crossbar
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Not anchoring to ground
- Loose frame joints
- Net attached poorly

Frequently Asked Questions
Do goal posts need anchoring?
Absolutely - children climb on goals, hang on crossbars, and swing on nets. Unanchored goals tip over and cause serious injuries. We always anchor them.
What types can you install?
Football, rugby, hockey, lacrosse - any garden goal that needs assembly. From small kids' goals to full-size 8x6 models.
What about the net?
We attach the net as part of the installation. Nets need proper fixing or they come loose during play.
Can you put them on paving?
Goals need anchoring. On paving, we'd need to use weight bags or alternative anchoring. Grass or soft ground is easier to secure properly.
