There is scarcely anything in goal post manufacture that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little more cheaply.
Do not become their lawful prey.

Steel Goal posts

Anti-vandal football goal posts from ITSA Goal are the only fully locking goal posts available in the UK. These goal posts have numerous safety features and the unique patented system makes it impossible to remove and store the goalposts against a wall with crossbars attached to uprights. Other goal post manufacturers claim that they have lockable goalposts however only the goalpost uprights lock into ground sockets and anyone with a basic spanner can undo the nuts and bolts (if not rusted up) on the crossbar and remove the crossbar and uprights. DO NOT BE MISLED BY OTHERS CLAIMS OF LOCKING FOOTBALL GOALPOSTS.

Another feature only found on ITSA GOAL steel goalposts are the Industrial nylon push in arrowhead goal net fixings which are supplied to the rear of the uprights and the crossbar which helps protect paintwork. Goal post nets just lift on and off with ease. No tying or clipping is required which saves hours on match days. Goal post net fixings on the uprights have the added advantage of preventing children shimming up the posts and extending the lifetime of the paintwork.

Goalpost external and internal welds are electro plated on the goalpost corners to give added protection especially to unseen internal welds. Net supports on the goalposts are electro plated to prevent corrosion and quickly attach to the crossbar. With no bracket attached to the upright on the anti vandal version children find climbing onto the crossbar more difficult.

Goal Net supports can be easily removed after each game and stored with nets. A safer option for all permanently sited goal posts especially lower six foot mini soccer goalposts and areas prone to vandalism.

Our anti vandal goals are not just mass produced bits of steel bolted together but a patented engineered product that offers total security, accountability and added safety.

Each goal is dated then stamped with the makers initials.This attention to detail and quality control is what makes our football goalposts stand out from the rest.

The photographs taken around the U.K. of other manufactures goalpost highlight what the glossy catalogues do not show and indicate the problems found in heavy steel socketed and free standing movable football goal posts .

We have never made dangerous heavy free standing steel goalposts and do not recommend that they be used at all when lighter safer aluminum versions are available. We advise customers to avoid these at all costs.

(see football news story - Free standing steel goalpost accident & damages award which shows our decision not to supply goals that we consider may be dangerous was the right one -we put goalpost safety above profit)

ITSA GOAL - Raising football Goal post Industry Standards

As a company we do not follow what has gone before but improve existing products with new innovation and quality engineering. Making products cheaper inevitably means corners need to be cut which results in poor performance and may also compromise safety. This policy of continued development is why we have so much more positive customer feed back than any other company in the Industry. We make Goals that work and not goals that make work

By pointing out problems future development ,design, and improvement in safety of all goal posts is ensured. We highlighted the problem of crossbar expansion and informed customers about nets becoming entangled in heavy steel rear rollers on free standing goal posts supplied buy other manufacturers and this has forced other manufacturers to make changes.Our innovation of locking steel uprights has also now been introduced by other manufacturers which is good to see.

We lead others follow
