Football Goalposts must at all times be used in accordance with the fitting instructions provided. When freestanding moveable goalposts are being positioned prior to a game, children should not be allowed to use the goalposts until they are secure and anchored safely. Never position the goalpost and then go for the second goal before first making sure the first goal is securely anchored down.
Goalpost should be checked regularly and must be stored away safely as per instructions when not in use. This care and Maintenance information follows our own risk assessments and those of the Football Association Guidance Notes of ‘best practice’ to help ensure goals are safe. Sufficient counterbalance weights or anchors must be attached to the goal at all times if it is left in its play position. When stored against a wall the goal frames MUST be secured on suitable brackets. If brackets are not available they should be stored flat face down on the ground. They should never at any time be lent against a wall unsecured. All Heavier free standing goal frames above 45 kilos in weight require additional care and attention when used around children. The elliptical foldaway goal was designed specifically with transportation and storage in mind. The goal is designed to be used on a grass with multi-surface anchors or on artificial grass with counter balance weights. Permanent anchor points can also be used to secure the goal in a fixed and permanent match position. Note:- LARGER GOALPOSTS MUST BE MOVED WITH REAR GROUND FRAME ATTACHED.
