Having a Kick about in the garden is great fun for kids of all ages – whether they fancy themselves as the next Beckham, Kane or Ronaldo or just want to stay fit an healthy.
Finding the best garden goal is important as the right garden goal can last many years and so the garden goal needs to be strong and stand up to the the hardest shots. Not only will the goal keep children fit the goalpost may improve shooting accuracy and encourage kids to be active in the fresh air, away from computers.
There are garden football goals designed for a different age groups and also grass or hard surfaces. Goals should be anchored for safety, the lightweight uPVC goals are safe but anchoring your goals will keep them stable. The larger aluminium goals should come with ground anchors so the goals are safely anchored in positon during play.
Children will play better if the goals have a touch or realism, and they can imiate their footballing heroes, so go for a goal that looks professional and maybe avoid the pop up type garden goals that just aren’t up to the job.
A strong robust goalpost design will keep the goalpost frames securley in place, make sure locking football goals also include locking back net support tubes. Many of the upvc goals have thin walled back tubes designed to bend and sprag into the back of the goal; be aware of these types of goals because the back tubes will eventually crease and then not sprag in place, we recommend choosing a garden goal that has a proper roof to the net and that the top net back tube locks into the corner, these types dont crease and they do lock in.
Fun for all the family, Keep fit and healthy outdoors.
Here’s our advice of some of the best garden goals on the market in the U.K. right now.
The garden goals are for children who are going to recreate the world cup in their back gardens, so look for a realistic goalpost, with a proper roof to the net, white posts, a goal that will last many years of constant use and includes a top quality white net.
