Assembly Instructions
Assemble Goal
- Lay the Crossbar (2) and Uprights (1) on the ground
3
with the groove facing upwards. Slide the Square Head Bolts (6) into
grooves of the crossbar and uprights as shown in Fig 6. Push the upright onto
the plate in the crossbar and hold in place by fitting the Crossbar Fixing Plate
(5) securing with Washers (9), Net Clip (12) and M10 Nyloc Nuts (10), all as
shown in Fig 6. Do not attach Button Screw (11) at this moment, this needs to
be fastened once net is hooked into it.
Erect Goal
- When the concrete has cured, lift the Goal Frame into the Sockets,
4
making sure that the groove is at the back of the goal. (You may, if desired, fit the
net while the goal frame is laying on the ground).
Fitting The Net.
Attach the hooks to the net approx 250mm apart, then insert the hook into the slot on the goal section and twist
to lock.
Hook the top corner of the net into the net clip, using an allan key tighten the button screw down onto the crossbar
fixing plate. As a guide you should fit one hook to each mesh or 60 to the crossbar and 20 to each upright.

Socket Installation
- Concrete the Sockets (4) in place at centres given in Fig 4, making sure that the sockets are facing the
1
correct way. Leave the socket top 25mm below ground level, and finish concrete at 40-100mm below ground level (as
shown in Fig 3). Insert a piece of wooden dowel through the hole in the socket plate and withdraw when set, to create a drainage
hole through your concrete. Allow concrete to cure before assembling the rest of your goal.
IMPORTANT NOTE
- The sockets are elliptical and need to be installed facing the right way (see Fig 2)

Adjustable Foot
- Screw an M10 Nut (14) onto each Adjustable Foot (15) and
2
screw into the bottom of each Upright (1), as shown in Fig 5. Position the foot so
the bottom is approximately 50mm from the base of the upright and tighten the nut to
the base to prevent unwanted movement. The exact regulation height of the crossbar
can be obtained by re-adjusting this foot later.
Set Crossbar Height
- Once the goal is in position, measure from the underside of the Crossbar to ground level (it is always
5
best to measure approx 200mm in from the upright, as the ground around the sockets is often slightly lower due to
settlement). Check the heights at each upright and compare with the required regulation height (FBL-548 = 2.44m, FBL-546
and FBL-242 = 2.13m, FBL-544 = 1.83m). If required, remove the goal and adjust the feet as described in Step 2.
When regulation height has been achieved, slide the Socket Wedge (4) between the socket and upright and secure with an M10
x 40mm Bolt (8), as shown in Fig 2.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If elbow brackets are to be used, please consult
INS557 (Aluminium Elbow Football Bracket Instructions) before
proceeding as an additional square head bolt needs to be fitted. If intending to
fit a hinged bottom net support, see INS529 as the back plate should be
inserted before the crossbar is fitted.
