Soccer Goal Netting

The Simplest and Easiest Soccer Goal Netting. The simplest, easiest, and least expensive type of goal to build is to put two pressure treated 4x4's in concrete, put wood or a metal pipe across the top for a cross bar and hang a net. Your total materials cost, not counting the net, can be in the $50 range. The advantage is that it is cheap, easy, and durable. The disadvantage is that it isn't movable unless you put steel sleeves in the concrete so you can slide the posts in and out. This type of soccer goal net is great for backyard use where the main objective is a backstop to shoot into. You can make it 6' tall or 8' tall by 8' wide fairly easily. After having built 3 PVC soccer goal netting, I would build this type the next time. Five suggestions: (1). Use plenty of concrete and buy some concrete wire to put in the hole to help prevent cracking. (2). Leave the top of the concrete 4" - 6" below the top of the ground and fill that with sand. Later, if you move the posts, you can fill it with dirt so the concrete isn't visible. (3). Put the posts 2 feet into the concrete. (4). For safety, place padding around the posts. (5). Plastic ties do not work well to hold the nets for players over age 12 (they break too easily) and Velcro is expensive and won't last. I think the best ties are a simple cotton or nylon twine; it is easy, cheap and lasts a while. I've heard that Bungee Cords make good fasteners and it makes sense that they would.

There are many suppliers of soccer goal netting. Tip: Check the thickness and mesh size of the soccer nets and the weight of the soccer goal netting for clues as to quality.
