Do not become their lawful prey”

Steel Goal Information

ITSA GOAL anti-vandal socketed steel football goal posts are the only fully locking re-enforced goal posts available in the UK. The goal posts have numerous safety features. This unique patented system makes it virtually impossible to remove and store the goals against a wall with crossbars attached to uprights.

Industrial nylon push in arrowhead net fixings are supplied to the rear of the uprights and the crossbar which helps protect paintwork. Goal nets just lift on and off with ease. No tying or clipping is required which saves hours on match days and fixings on the uprights have the added advantage of preventing children shimming up the posts.

External and internal welds are complimented by three spot welds on each connecting corner and all are electro plated to give added protection to internal welds. Net supports are electro plated to prevent corrosion and quickly attach to the crossbar and not the uprights. With no bracket attached to the upright children find climbing on to the crossbar more difficult.

Net supports can be easily removed after each game and stored with nets. A safer option for all permanently sited goal posts especially six foot high goals 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. indicate the problems found in heavy steel free standing moveable football goal posts and that is why we do not supply this type of goal and advise customers to avoid these at all costs.

The type of protruding corner found on basic steel nut & bolt goal posts.

Steel ground back bars on freestanding movable goal posts rust and can damage expensive artificial grass. All our movable freestanding goals have aluminium ground frames

Photograph shows the problems and damage to paintwork that have nets pulled and clipped around the front of the post.

Photograph shows how difficult it is to store folding goals that do not lock the side frames under the crossbar. ITSA GOAL fold-in goals are flush and have no moving parts or nuts and bolts.

Some existing designs of swing in side frames have finger and hand entrapmet areas and can act like a guillotine,if unsecured,when goals topple forward

Low net supports aid climbing and may detach from upright

heavy steel goals that may cause serious injury if they topple onto children

Low net supports that children may run into and cause injury is why ITSA GOAL only supply quick release removable net supports on Mini Soccer Goals

ITSA GOAL LTD - Leaders in goal post design that is raising Industry standards.

By pointing out problems future development ,design, and improvement in safety of all goal posts is ensured. Our stance on the additional welding of crossbars to upright corners and electro plating to protect internal welds is a first and has yet to be followed however the problem of nets becoming entangled in heavy steel rear rollers on free standing goal posts has led to design changes. Our non lifting twist & lock steel uprights are also being introduced by other manufacturers which is good to see. We lead others follow
