conditions. Oil and clean the lock to ensure the keys are working well at all times. If a key breaks inside the lock a local locksmith will be able to remove it with a special pick. Spare keys are locks are always available. At the end of the season when the goals are not in use check all welds to ensure they have not become damaged. Check periodically through the season that the goals have not been damaged especially if they are left up in areas prone to vandalism. When installing your goals take your time and do a good job to ensure the best results and performance. The installation guides need to be read carefully prior to fixing. Visit itsagoal.net if you need any advice or help or contact the office. To protect the life of your paintwork we suggest that 50mm wide plastic stretch tape be wrapped around the base of the posts about 600mm up from the ground to protect the paintwork from goal keepers kicking the foot of the posts to clean boots. This tape can be purchased from our web site or any local DIY store and should be renewed as and when required. It is much better however if you can ask all visiting and home goal keepers not to kick the posts. A thorough inspection each year and when goals are installed should be carried out and recorded. A goal post maintenance sheet is available to be down loaded from our web site www.itsagoal.net . Problems should be recorded, noted down and acted upon straight away. NEVER USE DAMAGED GOAL POSTS. Goals need to be treated and handled with care and they will then last longer and will perform better. Any paint chips need to be repaired as soon as possible. Rub down with emery paper to form a smooth surface down to bear metal and apply a good quality aluminium primer undercoat and then a top coat to seal the affected area. Any areas left untreated will allow water to penetrate between the powder coat finish and the base metal and if left un checked the paint work will star t to peel away. Any local DIY store will supply what you need. If you treat the goalposts with respect and maintain them properly they will perform year after year.

Multi-surface anchors

Multi-surface anchors are designed to secure the freestanding goalposts to normal grass sur face pitches (to 1100 Newtons forward pull test). On a grass surface, use the ground pegs provided in conjunction with the multi-surface anchors. If ground is softer then more ground anchors can be used to spread the load or longer pegs can be inserted. Always angle the pegs as shown on the tting instructions. To remove stubborn pegs use another peg to lift out do not pull out with the anchor itself or it may damage the securing cross holding the peg in place. This is strong system designed to twist under stress and will not easily be damaged. If you are planning to anchor your goal post on tarmac the xing positions for the multi- surface anchors need to be secure. We advise :-

1. Dig holes in your tarmac (to sizes specied in tting instructions ).

2. Fill holes with concrete, and drill two 14mm holes 12cm apart and 70mm depth.

3. Position goal and multi-surface anchors and use a suitable10mm concrete bolt instead of the safety grass pegs. For other surfaces such as wooden sports hall oors wood screws in our multisurface anchor or counter balance weights can be used. The total weight to conform to the current standards for the goal post topple test can be calculated using the equation stated below.

Goalpost Nets

All our square mesh nets are made to the shape of the net. If you are putting nets up each week we recommend that you locate the top corners rst and mark them using tape so that you can easily identify them each time. Place the net over the frame and t each end onto top stanchion by securing on each corner of the crossbar and uprights using twist and lock net xings. We recommend only nets with 100mm x 100mm mesh be used with children, to cover head entrapment regulations, Nets with 120mm x 120mm mesh are acceptable for use by adults. Nets can be tied into a bundle and placed into a pillow case (not to damage washing machine) and washed at 40 degrees Celsius with normal washing powder to keep them in tip top condition. Be aware rabbits and rodents have been know to nibble at the base of nets. If nets are left outside we advise lifting from ground level. If you have this problem sprinkle pepper along the bottom of the net and this should help deter most wild animals.

Counter balance weight system - OPTIONAL EXTRA not supplied with goal.

The ITSA GOAL posts counter balance weight system consists of two counter balance weights each weighing 11kgs fastened together, 22 kilos of counterweight spread over 500mm. The counter balance weight system is used on at level playing surfaces or where multi-surface anchors can not be used i.e. sports halls, ar ticial grass pitches etc. The two connected weights together can be lifted on the frame and used externally. If anchoring your freestanding goalpost is not possible, the guidance and technical notes set out by the Football Association give clear instructions for the use of counter balance weights. If you are unsure what weight you are required to use on your freestanding goal posts, you can work out the weight needed by using the following procedure. 1 Measure the height of the crossbar., 2 Measure the length of the goal’s side bars. 3 Divide the height by the length. Multiply the result by 112Kg and make a note of the answer. This is the total weight in kilograms that should stabilizes the goal to safety standards. Example: A Regulation Goal, 2.44m high with a 244m ground sideframe the calculation would be: 2.44 divided by 2.44= 1 therefore 1 x 112Kg = the total weight required for this goal would be 112Kg (less the weight of the back ground bar).

GROUND PEG REMOVAL

USE THE HOOK ON THE END OF THE RED GROUND PEG TO REMOVE PEGS FROM THE GROUND OR USE A CLAW HAMMER FOR PEGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE.

Longer pegs (available separately) are to be used on sandy or soft ground earth. A risk assessment of soil conditions suitability should be carried out when anchors are to be used.

The Football Association Goals for Football Guidance Notes & Technical Details

Freestanding goals will only be safe if you stabilize them properly. Always use the accessories and anchors supplied for the purpose of anchoring a goal. The most reliable methods of stabilizing freestanding goals are: A. attaching the back bar to permanent fixing points, B. using adequate weights attached to the goals backbar, C. adequate ground anchors. We strongly recommend you use one of these methods. The diagram on the right shows a typical freestanding goal foundation that will givea permanent pitch fixing.

Test each goal post before use to satisfy yourself that you have enough counter balance weights attached to the goal to prevent toppling. Chain and cable attachments - Whatever method is used to stabilize a goal, any

attachment chain or a wire cable between the goal and the weight, anchor, eye bolt or other xing point should be as short as possible and not allow the back bar to lift more than 50 mm.
