Over time, football nets may wear out, but with the right guidance, finding durable and affordable replacements is easy. At The Soccer Store, we specialize in two main types of football goals: Samba goals and steel/aluminium goals, both designed for match and training use. To help you select the best football nets for your needs, we’ve prepared this comprehensive guide. Types of Football Nets Available Choosing the correct football net depends on your goalpost type. Here’s a breakdown: Replacement Nets for Samba Goals Samba goals are lightweight and made from durable plastic, available in various sizes for ease of use. Materials: 3mm or 4mm twisted HDPE, ideal for match and training purposes. Design: Match nets include top and bottom runbacks, while training nets are more basic. Replacement Nets for Steel/Aluminium Goals Designed for durability, these nets suit a wide range of weather conditions and goal sizes. Styles: Choose between flat runback, continental, or international goal nets. Sizes: From compact 8ft x 4ft to full-size 24ft x 8ft posts. Different Goal Designs and Their Nets Flat Runback Goals Simple design, with the net running directly to the ground. Best for compact spaces or casual use. Continental Goals ‘D’ shaped top runbacks keep nets clear of the playing area. Preferred for professional matches and full-size pitches. International Goals Box-like structure with deep net support for a professional look. Provides ample space inside the net, ideal for official games. How to Measure for Replacement Football Nets To ensure the right fit, measure your football goal dimensions carefully: Width & Height: Measure from post to post and from the ground to the crossbar. Depth: Measure both the top (roof runback) and bottom (base runback) depth. Net Support Type: Identify whether your goal features flat, continental, or international support. Twine Thickness: Choose 3mm or thicker nets for match play, as they are more durable. Fitting Your Replacement Football Nets For Samba Goals Attach the net using Samba Net Clips or ties, starting from the top corners. Gradually secure the sides and bottom for a taut fit. Test the tension and alignment for a snug fit. For Steel/Aluminium Goals Use Samba Net Clips or channel net clips to secure the net. Align the net flat and position it correctly. Ensure proper tension by evenly spacing clips or threading the net through the channel. Why Buy from The Soccer Store? At The Soccer Store, we offer: A wide selection of replacement football nets.
