Best Football Goal Posts made by itsa goal posts

Itsa Goal Posts Ltd are the original inventors of uPVC Portable Children’s mini soccer goals size 12’x6′ – 3.6 x 1.83m . This lightweight portable goal invented by our MD John Wilson ( circa 1986) led to many copy cat goalposts including samba goals, forza goals, mitre goals to name just a few.  All these football goalposts are not the same design as our unique Itsa Goal Posts designs. Our goalpost corners are specially strengthened to make them stronger and will last much longer. They are calculated to be 300 % stronger and this is we offer a much longer goalpost guarantee.  

Before you buy garden goals look at the component parts and make sure they are strong and include a long guarantee.

Before buying a garden goalpost consider the following :

1. If the net support can bend at the back it is made of much thinner tube than can crease and break, all Itsa Goal posts have a much stronger wall thickness of tube.

2. Our corner brackets are 300% stronger than all other upvc goalpost corners which is why we offer the longest goalpost guarantee.

3. The nets will last much longer on goals that include proper net fixings,  Arrrow fixings are the best way to fit nets to goals and are recommended by the National Playing Fields Associatiation.

4. Nets wrapped around posts on the ground will fray along the ground and quickly wear out - buy  Itsa Goal where the net fixes on the top edge of the ground bases to prevent this.

5. Always check product reviews, not service reviews…..you need to know how the product stood up to use not how fast the delivery was! Dont take our word for it read our goalpost reviews spanning back more than thirty years.......this is our best review....

If "Carlsberg" made football goals.......I don’t normally write reviews but felt given the level of personal service and the quality of the football goal I received, it was imperative that I did.  I wanted a football goal for my son, aged six. I did the usual research, others dad’s and the Internet, as well as the high street stores and supermarkets. All sources came back with mixed reviews, faulty nets, goals that either collapsed, rusted, or needed a degree in quantum physics to understand the instructions!  I then found www.itsagoal.co.uk  I rang the number on the website and spoke to John Wilson, he could not have been more helpful, he listened and listened to my ever-expanding needs, a personal service as it should be, no hard sell, just friendly advice on what to look for in a goal. 

In time-honoured fashion, I left it late to order for my son’s birthday. I rang www.itsagoal.co.uk and spoke to Jon Paul Wilson who was fantastic (personal service runs in the family) as although in the middle of stocktaking and closed, he organised and sent out the football goal which arrived the next day! The football goal is perfect, a late-night construction and I am no DIY expert! Hey, presto the chance to relive my youth, oh and of course a present for my son and heir! Study, solid and withstanding the great British weather! Before you ask, no I am not related or work for Itsa Goal Posts I am just a dad who wanted a football goal in the garden for his son. An excellent product, superb company, as I said in the beginning, if Carlsberg made football goals........... this would be the place. Thank you so much for your help and patience. I will be back to buy again and have already recommended to all and sundry.

Best Goalposts – Are you considering buying a children’s football goal and need advice on what size football goal to buy and which are the best goalposts? This handy football best goalpost guide covers everything you need to know to get the most suitable value for money goal for your garden.

With all the various garden goals what size football goal is hard to decide. Finding the best football goal for your garden is primarily determined by the area you have available, the age of the players, the surface played on (normally grass) and also do you intend to store goals after games as some goals can be left in situ and some fold away. We also offer a full size adult 24'x8' goal that has a sectional crossbar that packs away in a bag !

How much space do you have in the garden ?

Check your garden space before buying a goal. The photogrpahs online are hard to see the proportions. Measure the width and length of your garden area. Most goalposts are measured in Feet,  the most common goalpost for a garden is 8 foot wide, which is 2.4m or 12 foot long which is 3.6m wide. Ideally if the space allows leave some space on either side of you goal for corners, however this depends on your garden. The most important factor is the goal fits the space with an area in front for play.  

How old are the players using the goal ?

Age range is a factor to consider. The garden goal post height needs considering in relation to the child’s height. A full size regulation goal in adult matches, is 24′ x 8′ (7.3m×2.4m) so with this in mind if the goal is for an outfield player the goal should  ideally be in proportion to afull size goal, so from an early age practice shooting into a goal that is a similar proportion length to height to a regulation adult goal may help in development. 

Our mini soccer 12’x6′ (3.6mx1.8m) goal is proportionally accurate so provide a more realistic goal size for a child. However, if you goal is for budding goalkeeper the goal width and height would be better to be a little larger to enable practicing diving. Furthermore, this is why the official leagues use 12’x 6′(3.6m x 1.8m) for under 11 years of age players and likewise 9v9 Youth games use 16’x7′(4.18m x 2.1m); they are proportional goals to full size goals.

You can see by the goalposts size chart below this is a proportional goal so children have a more realistic goalpost for their size. With this in mind if you garden is large enough the 12’x6′ (3.6m wide by 1.8m high) goal is a great size of goal if your child is around 9-11 years of age as they may start to play in this size of goal in local organised mini soccer leagues.
