In a recently published document by the Football Association it is emphasised that they do not approve of homemade and modified goals as most deaths from accidents have involved these types of goalsWe recommend that all wooden goals are replaced in order to conform to BSEN Standards and FA guidelinesAll freestanding goals MUST be anchored at all times. There are several methods to anchor goals:1Socketed goals where the sockets are correctly concreted into the ground is an extremely safe method2For freestanding goals where the possibility of tilting is greater, there are three areas to consider:AIndoor Sports Hall - Fixed built-in underfloor anchorage, wall fixings or counterweightsBSynthetic Pitches - Fixed built-in underground anchorage, fence fixings or counterweightsCGrass Pitches - Traditional Earthworm screws, large U pegs, 460mm ground pegs, cemented in ground socket with fixing loopor counterweightsAny of the above may be suitable, depending on the ground conditions, however if in doubt there is a formula given by the FA to ensure an effective method of stabilising goalsTaking our full-size freestanding aluminium goal as an example:* Goal height is 2.44m * Length of side bar is 2.36m* Height divide by length = 2.44 divide by 2.36 = 1.03 * 1.03 x 112 = 115.36kg * You need 115kg to stabilise this goal ORDER ONLINE ATwww.universalservicesuk.co.uk 99'
