Any online order outside this distance may incur a delivery surcharge to cover any additional fuel charges.

 

 

 

FOOTBALL GOAL DELIVERY – ONE SECTION CROSSBARS – Carriage on smaller football goals up to six foot wide cost less however other goalposts we supply include single section crossbars and the delivery of these cost a little more due to the longer package. Please bear this in mind when comparing overall prices for goals. Although the carriage is more expensive, we would always recommend a single section crossbar as they are straighter, stronger, and easier to install. These goals are worth the additional shipping charges. For more information contact the office on 0114 242 4244 or one of our mobile numbers 07803341483 or 07455383302 which are manned twenty-four hours a day. We also have a live chat option.

32. SPECTATOR PITCH BARRIERS Due to the fluctuation in the price of steel the price provided in any estimate may change at any time and this change in cost will be advised to the customer before proceeding with any order. To make any claims under any guarantee stipulated for the steel barrier or uPVC barrier, the faulty items must be returned for inspection at the buyer’s expense. The guarantee does not cover any damage caused during the installation of the barrier or fencing by a contractor. Powder coated steel barriers may become scratched and water may penetrate the steel and cause rusting; to prevent this the buyer of the steel barrier must regularly maintain and paint the barrier to prevent rusting. The guarantee does not cover any rusted steel barrier or steel mesh infill panels or any parts where the barrier has not been maintained. An estimate can only be provided for installation; finished costs on installation depend on the ground type, and therefore time to complete work. The cost of delivery of the complete barrier/raw materials/components at the start of the job, from the steel stockholders, may be added. Please note the goods will need to be stored securely on your site and will be your responsibility at the football ground/storage area. It is important there is a secure area ready to receive delivery with no obstacles otherwise this may incur delays. Please note the Steel Barrier system although rigorously tested it is not designed to be a load-bearing system; it is primarily a perimeter fencing system. Due to the availability of materials, any agreed delivery dates and dates for final installation or delivery of the steel barrier or plastic barrier cannot be guaranteed and the company is not responsible for any losses in this situation.
