This goal is incredibly easy to set up, even for kids to do on their own. There’s no frame to put together, and it simply pops up straight out of the bag. When you want to put it away, it’s easy to collapse the goal down into the included carry bag. It’s lightweight, and the carry bag comes with a shoulder strap so it can be taken to the beach, park or a friend’s house. All of the materials are fully weatherproof as well, so there’s no need to take the goal down everyday after use. The net itself is UV treated, protecting it from degrading in sunlight. Folding portable goals – the easiest and cheapest option. They fold out and fold down again. All you have to do is fit the ground anchoring pegs.

Lightweight free standing – you need to fit these together, but once in place they can stay put for years. This type of goalpost can be anchored with ground pegs.Got two so my kids can do 1v1 2v2 etc with mates and Dad of course. Brilliant design, we use them with foam balls in the garden so we don’t break any windows and a Futsal low bounce ball in the park. One thing I didn’t quite like was the some of the plastic had small white particles inside and I had to vacuum my living room after! I think this could be rectified with some kind of industrial vacuum/blower during the manufacturing process. But if you’re building the goals directly in your garden it isn’t really an issue. Made from 42 mm galvanized steel, the FORZA Steel42 Football Goals are extremely high quality, premium goal posts. Polypropylene is a modern and popular material for goal netting. It’s a type of plastic that’s much more hardwearing than fibre or twine nets. If you can find HDPE – that’s high-density polyethylene, it’ll last even longer. It's also all weather-proof and incredibly sturdy, with no pegs or weights required to keep it stable.

Steel free standing – large steel goals need construction and must be securely anchored. If you don’t plan to move them, the feet can be concreted into place. If you’re looking to splash out on professional standard goal posts then look at steel which is the gold standard and much stronger than aluminium. I wouldn’t recommend steel football goal posts for smaller children though, as they can hurt themselves bumping into the posts. For those looking to have fun with the family - and perfect those precise shots - a target goal gives you varying points to aim for to improve accuracy. For this reason, it’s one of the best football goal posts if you’re after something small, compact and portable that can easily be carried – even by young children.
