To the creation of a dacha playing field instead of a garden, Zhenya and I went for long three years. And this spring, we finally pleased the sons - put two football goal. In this post, I'll talk about our misadventures with lawn grass and how to make a football gate with our own hands made of plastic pipes, ropes and screws.
Football instead of potatoes
In the first spring after, in May 2014, we made a big mistake - almost everywhere we made a garden. Plowed half a lot of the motoblock and planted potatoes. All summer potatoes interfered, took time to weed, and in the autumn it turned out that everything was in vain - "peas" were born on sandy soil.
Since then, we decided not to plant potatoes at all, but at this point to arrange a football field for Boris and Gleb. They go to a group of sports school, so a place to work out strokes and just moving games is necessary.
In May 2015, we plowed a garden, and I sowed a mixture of seeds "Sport". The lawn appeared barely - it was "hammered" by weeds. And only by the autumn there appeared on the site something remotely resembling a grass carpet.
But he was not destined to grow further. Because by the spring of 2016 we finally understood that nothing grows on local soil, and we ordered a car with chernozem. There was a choice: either the truck will pass through the lawn and dump the chernozem in a convenient place for us, or the land will have to be transported on a wheelbarrow.
We regretted our backs and chose the first. On the level, already green field were deep traces of a huge machine. The hillocks reached 50 cm! The wheels so pressed the soil that in the places where the car drove it became stone. The site went in waves, and the dream of a football field had to be removed until next year.
In the fall of 2016, we plowed an uneven plot and sowed lawn grass again.
And now, finally, the field has become not only flat, but firm (legs do not fail), although not yet perfect. On the edges, where there was the very first lawn, the grass, like a carpet, and on the plowed field, the earth looks through. But this small thing did not stop us.
For the manufacture and installation of two gates of meter height and half a meter in depth, Zhenya and I left the day. This post we write, because I do not understand the pipes and screws. And yet, although the idea of a gate made of plastic pipes is not new, Zhenya has completed the design himself. We will be happy if our idea is useful to someone.
What to buy for the manufacture of some football gates:
What tools will be needed:
- Shurupovort
- Boer or shovel
- Felt-tip pens
- Roulette
- A hammer
We collect a frame from pipes
Connect the three 1000 mm pipes with each other using the elbows from the top. Bottom the pipes put two tees, and to them attach two pipes 500 mm. Between pipes of 500 mm put the fourth pipe 1000 mm. It should look like this:
Secure the pipe joints with screws. Pipes of 150 mm while lay aside - they will be needed for installation.
We weave a net for a football goal
We proceed to the longest stage. You can skip it if you buy a ready-made sports net, but I was interested to weave it myself. I offer you also.
On the back of the gate with a felt-tip pen, mark the pipe points every 10 cm using a tape measure. Markings must be on all six sides of the goal. Screw in the points of self-tapping.
Wind the cord from the bottom pipe to the top, fixing it on the screws.
The rope should not be stretched like a string. It should sag slightly.
When the cord is stretched vertically, begin horizontal weaving. I tied the sides with ordinary knots. The first couple of rows had to think about how it was more convenient to drag the cord, then it began to go out "on the machine", as with knitting on knitting needles. On the second gate I already wove so fast that Zhenya jokingly called me Shnyuk (who does not know, this is a kind spider from the animated film "Luntik").
The sides of the cord must form a square. In the photo, the diagram is well understood. But I'm sure that you will get it all intuitively, because it's very easy and even calms down - you make nodules and think about your own.
I wove the sides in the last place.
When the gate is ready, you can proceed with the installation. This is a fast stage, but very important. From the way you fasten the gate, it will depend on whether they fall during a strong wind.
Mounting of the football goal
Put on the tee pipe 150 mm. Important! Do not fasten these joints with screws, because so it will be inconvenient for you to remove the gate for the winter.
Choose a convenient place and dig a hole with a depth of 150 mm with a drill or shovel.
Insert the gate into the hole and sprinkle with the soil. At the back and sides, additionally fix the lower tube 1000 mm with the help of pieces of wire, driving them into the soil with a hammer.
The gate is ready! To create a full-fledged field for the game, you can put the same opposite.
I wish you an interesting and productive stay! Tell me in the comments, do you like football and play it.
Passion for sports positively affects human health. If in the cold period to keep a good physical shape it is possible in various gyms and a swimming pool, summer significantly expands the range of training. Interest in football for men does not fade throughout life. Organizing a summer vacation in the country, support the body in a tonus will help your favorite game with the ball. Therefore, in order not to interrupt regular classes away from the civilized stadiums, it will be necessary to make a football gate at the dacha on your own.
Types of structures
Before you begin to explore the possible models of the football goal, you should carefully consider their location. The main condition - nearby there should not be windows and other fragile surfaces. It is undesirable for the football goal to be installed in front of a wall or a fence, this will provoke premature destruction of concrete or damage the soft corrugated board.
Advice! In the absence of other possibilities, behind the football gate you can make a screen from the grid of the rabitsa, which with success will perform a protective function.
Ideally, the missed ball should not fall on the garden plantations. After determining the location and setting the size of the football field, go to the selection of a suitable gate model. As a solution, the design can be done on its own or pick up ready-made gates, in a wide range presented in sports stores. What features each version has, let's consider in more detail.
Instances for Mini Football
If you make your own football gate do not have enough free time, ready-made copies intended for mini football will come to the rescue. Their main advantage is mobility. What are they?
- The most common portable football gate is made of steel pipes with different diameters.
- The main frame resembles a stretched letter P, the vertical side racks are complemented by straight or curved pipes. They serve to stretch the net and ensure the stability of the entire football structure.
- Individual models of the football gate are complemented with fixing fixtures in the form of four metal hooks for penetration into the soil.
The maximum convenient door size is 180/120/60 cm, but you can choose more spacious specimens if desired. To protect against corrosion, the football gate is treated with contrasting paints, which makes them well visible in any terrain. The mesh size varies from a minimum of 40/40 mm, to a maximum of 100/100 mm.
Advice! If you want to practice the accuracy of the impact, a training screen made of a nylon thread that has two holes for the ball should be installed in front of the gate.
Stationary and mobile gates
It is not necessary to buy a standard gate, it is much more interesting and cheaper to make a football construction with your own hands. In what cases is it practical to make stationary inventory? There are several factors influencing the choice:
- Availability of the necessary material (wood or metal) in the required volume. This is important in the absence of the opportunity to purchase new raw materials.
- Professional skills of the welder or possession of woodworking tools (depending on the material selected).
- Operation of football gates on an ongoing basis.
- Confidence that in case of a long absence in the country they will not suffer from vandals.
- Lack of free storage space in winter.
If in most cases the answer to the above points is negative, it is worth considering to make a mobile football gate. As a basis for them, plastic pipes are most often used.
Material selection
Having studied the properties of each material used to build a football goal, it will be easier for you to decide on a suitable design.
If you like to work with natural raw materials and do not want to engage in seasonal assembly and disassembly, it's best to make a wooden copy of the football gate with your own hands. Of course, for him is not characterized by increased strength, but the process of creation is simple.
If you want to equip a stationary sports structure for a long period, it is practical to make it out of metal. A mandatory condition is the availability of welding skills, safety in the winter also plays a role.
Attention ! If these requirements are not feasible, make the metal model more practical with the help of self-tapping screws.
Optimal version of the mobile football gate - a copy of plastic pipes. The monolithic design can be made with a special soldering iron, for the assembly version, PVC pipes of larger diameter will be required. Lightness, strength and easy installation process are the main advantages of the chosen material.
Arrangement of wooden gates
Make a quality football goal without a preliminary drawing is almost impossible. When creating a sketch, consider the free space for the game and the age category of the players. The availability of a ready project allows you to proceed to the preparation of material and tools. Particular attention is paid to the method of connection. In view of the cheapness, wooden structures can be created integral, however, if transportation is necessary, it is better to provide a collapsible version of the structure. So, the whole process of installing a football goal consists of the following steps:
- The wooden beam is sawn to individual elements according to the dimensions indicated in the drawing.
- For safety reasons, it is recommended that all wooden components be thoroughly sanded.
- Stainless steel bolts fit as fasteners.
- The main frame is complemented by struts and a retaining board to impart greater stability. Their second purpose is fixing the grid.
- Fastening of struts should be made at an angle of 45 °.
Advice! Treatment of the wooden structure with an antiseptic compound will prevent damage to the wood by fungus, insects and prolong the overall period of operation.
At the final stage, the frame of the football gate is painted with paint, which will ensure their good visibility in the landscape of the site. The final touch is the fixing of the grid. How to do it and how to fix it will be discussed below.
The process of assembling the gate from plastic pipes
The initial steps for assembling the plastic construction are similar to the previous one: it is necessary to make a project of a football goal. Followed by:
- Purchase of constituent components. It is desirable to choose a flexible plastic with a rubber content. This will reduce the likelihood of its deformation on contact with the ball or the body of the player.
- PVC pipes are cut according to the draft of the football goal.
- The next step is to make two rods out of the pipes.
- After moving to the formation of corners for the football goal.
- When assembling the plastic structure, attention is drawn to the location of the tee, which will include an additional support. Only after selecting the correct angle of inclination can make the welding seam with a special soldering iron.
- Further it is required to make a connection of tees and rods using plastic pipes of larger diameter.
- It is recommended to make a tight fitting of the net on the football goal with a special collar.
It should be noted that a full-fledged football match will require a pair of gates.4
Important ! To exclude the goalkeeper's injury will help to carefully fix the frame of the football construction.
Making a mesh
Of course, you can buy and finished product, but there are other options for equipping the football structure with a protective element. The easiest way out is to find a fishing tackle among the inveterate fishermen. But this is not entirely aesthetically pleasing - to decorate the brand new football gate with an old grid. It is better to go to the end and make it yourself. Choose the most convenient method from the options below:
- Ability to weave a fishing net, the presence of a shuttle and a wooden plate for a set of loops allows you to make a grid for the football goal for a couple of evenings. The width of the oblong plate is equal to the size of the square (cell) for the future grid. As a material, a nylon thread is suitable. The advantages of the method are the strength of the product, among the shortcomings, the complexity of the process and the need for associated tools are noted. Standard sizes of the football goal

Article for those who decided to make a football goal with their own hands, rather than using ready-made solutions offered in the market by manufacturers of sports and gaming equipment.
If your football house does not yet have a football goal, but there is some spare time, tools and the ability to work with your hands, you can easily make a design yourself.
Football gates with their own hands: the main nuances
First, you need to decide on the main material: children's football gates with their own hands can be made of wood, metal or plastic pipes. Football goal for mini football with their own hands must withstand the impact of the ball, mechanical stress, temperature changes and high humidity. The mesh for the football goal with your own hands must be strong, suitable for outdoor use. For these purposes, an economic rope is ideal
You decided to make your own hands of wood? Then in work use firm breeds, and it is better - glued in some layers a wooden bar. The main advantage of this material is that its parts can be easily interconnected. By the minus we attribute the lower strength, in comparison with the plastic pipes and the metal profile.
Before starting work, make a preliminary drawing of the gate. The easiest way is to make an integral design, but if in the future you need to transport a football gate for mini football, it is better to provide a collapsible version. When the sketch of the gate is ready, you can start preparing the tools and material.
The process of creating a gate for a game of football
- Saw the beams into individual elements according to the dimensions indicated in the drawing.
- Thoroughly grind every detail.
- Use a stainless steel bolt to secure the parts in the same construction.
- To add greater stability, add the frame to the struts (at an angle of 45 degrees) and the retaining board. The grid is also fixed on these elements.
- Treat the resulting structure with an antiseptic compound. This will prolong the operational period of the gate and keep them from the action of fungi and mold.
- Paint the gate with paint, which will stand out against the backdrop of your playground.
If you do not have free time to make a football goal from the pipes yourself, on the site "Success." You are guaranteed fast delivery and reasonable prices. Our football gates made of plastic pipes are suitable for installation in open areas and in closed sports halls.
Playing football, good sporting entertainment for children of any age. Moreover, for this game a lot is not necessary, level ground, ball and some kind of gate. The ball has to be bought, the playground can be found on the site, and small light gates can be made with their own hands made of PVC pipes.
The size of the gate is more childish, for younger age. To a child, these football gates are too big and incomprehensible. In total, you need to buy and cut a few pipes and then connect them with tees and knees.
In this version of the construction, PVC pipes with a diameter of 20 mm were used. , a total length of about 6 meters.
You will also need 90 * knees, six pieces.
Tees are four pieces.
Dimensions of the gate parts from the pipes.
The length is 150 mm. - 4 pieces.
The length is 450 mm. - 4 pieces.
The length is 600 mm. - 2 pieces.
The length is 780 mm. - 2 pieces.
The size of the gate in inches.
The longest pipes go to the rear diagonal slopes, they are put already at the end of the assembly. First, we collect vertical posts and the upper crossbar from three parts with installed tees.
We collect the lower horizontal tube, as well as the tees and then connect the parts with knees, and insert the rear hocks into the tee. For strength all joints can be glued in addition, only the gates are not collapsible.
If the pipes come into the fittings sufficiently tightly, then the door parts can also not be glued. Close to the topic, homemade.
The gates are 600 mm high. , width of 750 mm. , the depth along the lower bridge is 450 mm. .
This is for small children, for schoolchildren it is better to increase the dimensions of parts in two to three times and pipes to take a larger diameter.

The back cover is covered with a thin mesh of capron or other material. The grid pushes against the gate at the back and is attached to the racks by bandages from the twine. The main thing here is that using such a simple design, you will be able to assemble a gate of the right size.
Successful rest and entertainment!
Instructions
The first step is to determine the size of future gates. It all depends on what site they are intended for. Do you want your game to be as realistic as possible? Then make goal by standards, which are used in professional football. But do not forget that for such gates you need a field of the appropriate size. Unfortunately, not every yard has such a playground. Therefore, you need to carefully consider the dimensions of your gate.
Make a detailed drawing. The dimensions of all parts must be indicated on it. Also, pay special attention to the way the main parts are connected. The gates will be assembled from several beams, so they can be made collapsible, it is very practical. You can take them out on the field, install and enjoy any game. And then take it apart and take it back. This will help extend the life of your gate. They will also preserve their original appearance for a much longer time and enjoy the appearance of the players of both teams.
The next step is to choose the material for manufacturing. You can use almost any material. Gates made of aluminum beams or tubes are distinguished by their high strength. However, football is a contact game, so players often goal. The impact of a bump on aluminum goal can be deplorable. Wood goal requires care, but much better than iron. The lowest level of trauma is goal, made of plastic. Plastic should be selected flexible, with the addition of rubber, so that when in contact with the ball or body of the player goal bent, but did not break. It is worth noting that goal of flexible plastic are not suitable for playing professional football, but for court matches are ideal.
Make all the details of the gate according to the drawing. Check the manufacture. All parts must have a rounded shape. If you manufacture goal from wooden bars, it is necessary to sand the surface to give an ideal smoothness. Also need to paint goal. The color can be chosen absolutely any, but it must definitely stand out, so that players can see football goal. After this, allow to dry the paint. now you can take the newly made goal armpit and boldly walk on the football field. Remember that a full match needs a pair of gates.
For an economical and hardworking master, convinced that everything is done at the proper level, of good quality and in time, only he can, it is important to know and be able to do many things. When building a fence around the site, the main attention is paid to gates, as to the central front entrance to the territory of your home.
Instructions
Before you start building a gate, you need to decide what type of gate you want to build. Will it be an automated climbing gate or a swing gate. Most often put a gate, consisting of two valves without any automation.
After you decide on the choice of the design of the gate, you need to decide what material you make them from. If the gate is made of wood, then you need to take that wood, which has been treated with antiseptics relatively recently, wood with long-term treatment against termites and for resistance to negative effects of the environment can release toxic substances.
The gate made of iron is more durable, but they can be made either from a solid sheet of metal or be laced with forged ones. They are painted with paint or treated with a special protective compound to prevent the appearance of corrosion of the metal.
On how long the gates will last and how reliable they will be depends on the foundation under which they are laid. It is usually laid at a meter depth. Void between the laying of the foundation and the walls of the deepening, pour rubble, which must be compacted and put a thick layer of concrete on top.
If you want to make a wooden gate yourself, you first need to draw a design drawing. This helps to more accurately represent the scope of work, in advance to purchase the necessary materials. When drawing the drawing, we must try to ensure that all the details and elements of the construction are in full conformity with each other.
How to install support for the gate
From wooden beams it is necessary to make vertical support. Their size should be calculated as follows: to the height of the gate to add another meter for penetration. The greater the depth, on which the supports are installed, the more stable and durable the design is. So during the operation of the gate the probability of skew is reduced.
Remove the garbage from the place intended for installation of the pillars. Dig out pits - their diameter should be 20 cm more than the pylons. Tamp the bottom of the pit and make a pillow of rubble. The part of the pillar to be filled with concrete must be pretreated with a compound that will protect the wood from rotting - for example, bitumen mastic. Check the verticality of the post installation with a plumb bob. The pit with the installed pillar should be poured with concrete and wait until it dries.
Manufacturing of gates
To make one of the gate racks, you need one bar for the top and bottom, two bars for the side racks, two for the middle bridge. Calculation of the dimensions for the gates is made depending on the size of the machine. All parts must be treated with antiseptic impregnation.
The frame parts are laid out on a flat surface, holes must be drilled in the joints. They put nagels in them - they give rigidity to those places where the parts are connected. In the middle of the frame are installed jumpers from the bar. In the corners, the jibs are fastened, which are bars with slices at the ends at an angle of 45 degrees.
Calculating the height of the frame, it must be taken into account that the boards of the skin should protrude beyond it and from the top by 20 cm. The boards must be prepared before cladding - cut to size and work as a plane. They can be attached to the frame and tightly to each other, and with a certain pitch. After all the planking boards are in place, the top should be cut and cleaned with sandpaper. Now, the hinges are fastened to the flaps, using self-tapping screws with screw threads. Self-tapping screws can also be used to fix the fasteners to the racks.
