Questions & Answers
I recently purchased the goal and experienced the same issue. My bottom broke right in the middle. After reading the reviews, I purchased 5mm or 3/16 shock cord ahead of time. I tied a double vice versa knot on the broken end and restrung it to the left corner, then to the right top corner with another piece of shock cord. As a result, the entire back is twice as strong, and one bungee is no longer under tension. With the extra bungee cord that came in the box, I had already doubled the top. I hope this information is useful. A hundred feet of shock cord, I believe, is less than 20 feet.
No, but it's something I'd like to see happen. It is, however, the best goal and rebounder for soccer that I have ever owned or seen.
It's bigger than a pop-up goal, but it's not quite as big as an U-8 goal! It has a lot of substance to it!
Taking it down would be difficult. I left mine up all winter and it worked out fine, but I do live in the south.

Obviously, a 12-year-old designed this product. If you don't want a divorce and an unhappy child, don't buy it. Oh, and if flushing $200 down the toilet isn't a problem for you! I am completely dissatisfied with this product - there are no words to express how disappointed I am. I bought two and was so disgusted with the product that I gave the other one away to someone I dislike. br>I'd love to meet the product's creators and kick a ball at them!.
This was purchased for use in the backyard and for training with my middle schooler. The assembly of the frame is simple and straightforward. Excess paint in a few screw holes made it a little more difficult to screw in with the provided elbow-drive screwdriver. Allen wrench in the shape of a hexagon The bungee cord that held the net to the frame was difficult to thread through sections of the net because it had to be pulled tight and threaded correctly. It took me about 2 hours to complete the installation, from unboxing to putting the assembled goal in place. br>br>Note: If you're looking for a unique way to express yourself, try using the words "creative My net had a factory defect, which was quickly addressed by the manufacturer with a replacement shipped to my door for free. However, the original is still functional for the time being, so I've ordered a replacement. I'm not looking forward to removing the old one and installing the new one!.
This is my third or fourth attempt to buy a soccer goal and rebounder for my three children, ages 6, 9, and 12. Save your money and just pay the full price to get this done. Other than that, no other goal or rebounder has lasted more than a year. They're falling apart in months due to rust, the sun, and regular use. I know it's tempting to get the $99 goal or rebounder, but you might as well burn that Benjamin. br>br>So what makes this goal or rebounder so special? First and foremost, the structure and materials are of the highest quality. To protect against rust and sun damage, all metal parts are powder coated or enameled. All of the nuts and bolts are also made of metal (which may seem redundant, but most lower-cost goals have plastic fittings). The fabric sides have the most wear potential, but they appear to be extremely heavy duty and sun resistant. The design is also fantastic. br>br> The overall size exceeds the standard goal of under $200. When shot from the goal side, the net (which is made of very strong braided cord) is affixed to the frame with elastic cord, which gives the entire surface a very lively rebound effect, allowing you to keep shooting (no digging in the net to retrieve your ball). When shot from the backside, it acts as a true rebounder with a slight upward angle, allowing the ball to return higher than it went in. This is a great way to practice trapping the ball and controlling it in the air. Both sides have a lively rebound effect that returns at least as hard as you sent it in. br>br>At the end of the day, I spent $400 on shoddy equipment and $250 on something that I'm confident will last me a long time. Trust me when I say that saving $400 on the Goalrilla is a great idea.
About four years ago, we received this. This is where the boys, and now my little girl, practice shooting, passing, and some basic goalie drills. The main back chord, which runs along the bottom, tore about a year and a half after purchase, and we were able to easily replace it with sturdier bungee type chords. The back net has torn a little (I'm not sure when, but it's two small tears only near a corner), but it's still in good shape. The frame is still in good condition, as is the rest of the netting and chords. To keep the elastic chords firm, we decided to reinforce them with a smaller elastic chord. Because we live in a hot climate, I keep the rebounder/goal out all year. Rain, cold, and heat, to name a few factors. The kids all play club soccer and use it at least once or twice a week for the past four years, so they haven't harmed the product's durability. It's a good product that's well-made and will likely last a few years longer. If you have a yard where you can simply keep it in place, this is something I would recommend. It's not light, and breaking it down on a daily basis would be difficult.
It appears to be well-made and functions well as a rebounder. My 12- It's a hit with my 7-year-old - He is a goalkeeper for his travel team and trains with this a lot. The net, on the other hand, is a little more difficult to set up. I did use some math (calculations of percent of length - approx) to figure out how much bungee cord to use on each length from corner to corner, which came in handy after three "guess-and-hope" attempts. That didn't go as planned. The bungee must also be fed through "every other square," according to the instructions. This is true EXCEPT that to get the corners to come out right, you must go two consecutive squares in the very middle of the two long stretches. On the final attempt, we repeated the process, and the net was finally neat and parallel. Because it's made of steel, I'm not sure how long it'll last before rusting, but we bought some rustoleum anti-rust paint. Rust spray over any areas where the paint had been scratched, as well as at the joints. Also, be aware that it is VERY heavy, so place it exactly where you want it unless you plan on getting assistance moving it. Unless it's a very windy day (like a tropical storm), I don't think you'll need the anchors. storm- winds of force).
For the price and the amount of time we used it, I believe it should have lasted longer.
It is not simple to put together - Regardless of the book and on-line resources, We'd start stringing the net, get a certain distance along, and then realize it wasn't lining up right, so we'd have to start over. We eventually got it put together after a lot of trial and error and a lot of muscle. br>br>The rebounder/goal is fantastic in and of itself. My children are having a great time while also gaining valuable experience.
