Usage Features
Before Assembly:
- Ensure assembly is performed on a smooth, flat surface.
- Lay out all components so they are in easy reach.
- Read assembly instructions completely to familiarize yourself with the components.
Assembly Steps:
- Frame Assembly: Assemble all lengths of tubing as shown in the provided diagrams. Ensure that each piece is inserted completely and that the ends of each tube insert tightly and are secured when the button of the tapered end pops through the adjoining perforated tube. The diagrams illustrate how the tubes connect, with arrows indicating the insertion direction and a visual representation of the button locking into place.
- Net Attachment: The net is designed with red tabs to identify the top corners. Follow the numbered sequence to attach the net. Use the self-stick closure strips to tie the top corners first, identified by the two red tabs, then tie the bottom corners, and the rest of the net area as shown in the diagram.
Safety and Compliance:
- Anchoring: The goal must be anchored while in use. Unsecured goals can cause serious injury or death. One adult is required to complete setup. Always anchor the goal; an unsecured goal can fall over, causing serious injury or death. Never let children climb on the goal. This can result in the goal falling over, causing serious injuries or death.
- Supervision: Adult supervision is required at all times when the soccer goal is used by children.
- Entanglement Risk: To reduce the risk of entanglement, keep small children away from the net area at all times.
- Choking Hazard: Not suitable for children under 3 years old, as small parts can cause a choking hazard.
- Age Recommendation: The minimum age for this product is 6 years, and the goal is for outdoor use only.
- Inspection: Inspect the soccer goal before each use. Make sure the strips and all parts are correctly and securely positioned and attached. Tighten any loose hardware. Replace worn, defective, or missing parts.

- Read Instructions: Read all instructions and complete all assembly before using.
Assembly and Installation Instructions:
- Clearance: Clear the area of the soccer goal; provide clearance from wires, trees, walls, fences, and other play areas. Maintain a clear space on all sides of the soccer goal. A minimum of 3 meters from the frame edge is recommended.
- Weather Conditions: Never set up the soccer goal in heavy rain, wind, or storm conditions.
- Movement: Always move the assembled soccer goal with at least two people to evenly lift the frame off the ground.
- Surface: Place the soccer goal on a level surface before use.
- Security: Secure the soccer goal against unauthorized and unsupervised use.
- Windy Conditions: Avoid use in windy conditions. If you anticipate high winds, the frame should be secured to the ground with the use of an Anchor kit. If you anticipate severe winds, the product should be moved to a sheltered location or completely disassembled.
