Each pack contains four (4) metal U-shaped ground anchors.
They are made from heavy-duty galvanized steel with a zinc plating for rust resistance.
These anchors are primarily designed for soil or grass. Use on artificial turf is not recommended unless specific ground preparation is undertaken to allow for secure anchoring.
Products are usually dispatched within 3 working days, with delivery typically completed in 3-5 working days within the UK mainland from the dispatch date.
Drive the U-shaped anchor into the ground so the goal frame sits securely within the loop. Ensure all four anchors are installed evenly to provide stable support.
The galvanized steel and zinc plating offer significant rust resistance for outdoor use. However, in extremely harsh or coastal environments, some minor surface rust may eventually appear, but the anchor's structural integrity should remain strong.
Ensure the ground is slightly damp, not overly dry or waterlogged. If the ground is very hard, consider pre-digging small pilot holes or using a heavier mallet.
Check that all four anchors are fully driven into the ground and that the goal frame is properly seated within the anchor loops. Ensure anchors are placed at the widest points of the goal base for maximum leverage.
While designed for rust resistance, prolonged exposure in harsh environments can eventually affect the coating. Clean the anchor and consider applying a rust-inhibiting spray if minor surface rust appears. However, structural integrity should remain sound due to the galvanized steel.
Setup:
Compatibility:
These anchors are designed for use with most standard football goals that have a base frame suitable for U-shaped anchors. They are best suited for installation in soil or grass. They are not recommended for artificial turf or hard surfaces without appropriate ground preparation.
Care:
While the galvanized steel and zinc plating offer excellent rust resistance, regular inspection is advised. Clean any excess soil or debris from the anchors. In coastal areas or regions with high salt content, occasional rinsing with fresh water may help prolong their life. Store any unused anchors in a dry place.
