”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 post 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  electro plated to give added protection to internal welds.   Net supports are electro plated to prevent corrosion and quickly attach to the posts. With no bracket attached to the upright on the anti vandal version 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 lower 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 movable 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 aluminum 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 and once the sides are locked they can not swing about like a guillotine.

  

The photograph shows a typical swing in side frame that is not locked, has finger  entrapment areas and sides that can move and act like guillotines when they swing inwards .

Low net supports aid climbing and may detach from upright as this photograph shows.

NOT AN ITSA GOAL PRODUCT

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

NOT AN ITSA GOAL PRODUCT
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 - Raising Industry Standards

As a company we do not follow what has gone before but improve existing products in the market place with innovation and quality engineering. Making products cheaper inevitably means corners need to be cut ,lesser quality materials are used which can result in poor performance and this 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. 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
