Northern Stone 8x5ft Steel Football goal

This is a decent quality goal with a sturdy metal frame. My son uses it virtually every day. After about 9 months the net started to tear and gradually got worse over time. We continued using it for a few months and then tried to source a replacement net. I messaged the supplier to ask if they could supply replacement nets and they offered to send me one for free, and it arrived after a couple of weeks. Excellent customer service! After a year of being outdoors the bolts on the goal have rusted but I was easily able to replace them with new bolts from a DIY store. The goal looks virtually brand new again!

Solid metal frame, I don't have grass, on fake grass, so it stands by its self and has only fallen over when I did a steven gerrard worthy top corner screamer. The frame is solid I don't see that breaking any time soon. I didn't use the clips for the net, instead I fed the goal frame through the netting as I figured that way would be much easier, and it think it is. Basically I didn't use the clips and pegs. The instructions are a shambles and just give you the layout of how it should look in the end with the part number next to it so if you have a brain you can assemble it as it isn't too hard and if you put something the wrong way round you just simply switch it later which is what I did. The frame uses some screws and they're fiddly and are barely long enough so one has fallen out and luckily I didn't lose it and screwed it back in. The size is fine recommend for about 12 years and under. 8 ft x 5 ft.

Take time to get organised. Parts all bagged separately but only one in each bag is numbered. Thread net as you go. Great sturdy product.

It's been set up for a week or so. So far so good. Our 13 year old gives it some really strong shots and no issues. As someone has already commented....it seems to take blows well. Can be a bit fiddly to get the net on at the rear corners. Dont be afraid to dismantle it in parts to get the net on and then re-assemble. I dont see this as being portable... I know it comes with a bag but the install really does take time - not an issue for us as we are fine with it pre-made and staying like that but just for others who want a quick pop up net...not sure this would be it. Overall 5* is due to proportion and build quality (btw feels light and a little flimsy but it it not) - and for us these 2 are most important features.

The goal was very easy to assemble, it only took about 30 minutes and the instructions were very clear. The goal comes with a bag so will be easy to disassemble and move if we needed to. The goal appears to be very hardwearing and stable and has already taken hours of penalty shoot outs since the lockdown.

My 12 year old son has had great use out of this net for a year now and the frame has held up well. However, the net now needs replacing as it has completely come apart at the top. I can see others have been able to get a new net from the manufacturers but I cannot see how to contact them for one. Any help would be appreciated.

Only had it a few months and it's falling apart already. The net is ripped, it's going rusty and it's only used a few times per week by a 8 and 9 year old. So hardly hitting the ball in the net hard. It's also impractical to be portable. It takes way to long to put up and take down.

Easy to assemble. Not very sturdy. Bought as a present for my grandson, he is pleased with it. But can't see it lasting long.
