We has goal

cricket netting

That should be strong enough. Nice one, Rik.

Still too expensive guys :(

what is the budge? the cricket one is £4 per sq/m

what is the budge?

Yeah, what's the fucking budge?

what is the budge? the cricket one is £4 per sq/m

Ok well i'd like one piece that runs up the sides and across the top so that's 80+180+80=3.4m so rounded up that's 4m wide. Gonna need between 1-2m deep, so 2m.
So that for two goals in total is 4x4m.
For the cricket netting plus vat plus postage is £73.25.
A bit too much I think.

Just been on to my builder mate, he's about to order 17000 square meters! Could be sorted.

Brilliant works Dan, let's see how these hold up.

p.s. netting - cheaper in two thinner strips, sewn together?

nice work dan, we just played with the nets in a tournament, they definitely need to be glued or bolted, i half glued and half bolted mine with wing nuts so they could be dismantled with no tools.. even so, the glue came loose after an impact,

i would suggest adding another couple of supports for the posts, but keep the bungee, this would stop the bungee pulling the posts in and make them stronger

it would also pull the net out a bit, i kept getting it caught on my bars when i was keeping and fell..

nets are awesome!

netting, get mark to pick you up hockey nets from canadian tire (or i can send) $7.99 and its more than enough to cover the goal, its a huge net

Yeah maybe more structural support is needed.
Looks like we're sorted on the netting from my mate. Hopefully it'll be tough enough and the right sized squares. He knows what it's for and seems to think it'll be ok.

definitely, but i would also definitely fix it some how, it just wont stay together if you dont and will be a pain in the arse.

maybe some kind of tension here would help. Or maybe that'll just drag the whole post across as opposed to just making it lean in. Back to the lab...

Fail. Would need to be fixed to the ground.

Thinking out loud.

Weight it with water? Or we go for the proper steel (?) pipes that Karlsruhe boys used? Even then, they were velcro-ed to the floor.

only problem with that is the transport and storage, we need somethig light to carry around

I am not a polo player but for a cheap but usable goal that is a grand effort the only thing I would say is that if it needs weighing down then there must be enough team members with bags that could just lay then across the rear section.

I could most probably be able to knock something up in galvanised conduit if I had the tools to hand but then I suppose it would be too heavy to carry around.

good job dan. I think thin pipe could be an issue for strength, but let's see!

Iain, the K'ruhe goals are aluminium.

you could attach it to one of these and solve two problems in one

toilets at downham anyone ?

piss in the pipes. the weight would eventually help stabilise the goal. dismantling the goal will then be more exciting too.

good work dan! :D

top work Dan

Looks good. hmm strength you could fill the tubes with expanding foam?

water seems to make the most sense.

Nice work!

good job danno!

fill the pipe with sand, man
