My OperaHow to Build a Cheap Soccer Goal
Friday, March 2, 2012 5:47:00 AM
The easiest, cheapest and fastest type of soccer goal to build is always to put two pressure treated 4x4's in concrete, put wood or a metal pipe across the superior for a cross watering hole and hang a web. Your total materials charge, not counting the web, can be in that $50 range. The advantage is it's cheap, easy, and resilient. The disadvantage is not wearing running shoes isn't movable unless people put steel sleeves in the concrete to help you slide the posts within and out. This type of goal is great for backyard use where the most crucial objective is a backstop to help shoot into. You makes it 6' tall or 8' tall by 8' wide fairly easily. After having assembled 3 PVC goals, I would build this type the very next time.
Six recommendations :
(1). You will need to dig the holes about a few feet deep.
(2). Use plenty of concrete and buying some concrete wire to include the hole to help prevent cracking.
(3). Leave the top of the concrete 4" - 6" below the top of the ground and fill which area with sand following your concrete hardens. Later, in the event you move the posts and cut them down, you may fill it with dirt and so the concrete isn't visible.
(4). Put the posts 2 feet in the concrete.
(5). Plastic ties don't work well to hold the nets for players over age 12 (people break too easily) and Velcro is expensive and won't last. I think the best ties are a simple cotton or nylon string; it is easy, cheap and lasts a while. I've heard that Bungee Cables make good fasteners and it's wise that they would.
(6). I recommend you put at least one padding around the posts for safety. The simplest and cheapest might be some sort of foam that you wrap with duct tape. Duct tape will last outdoors for a 12 months. You could also affix it with plastic scarves.
