Goal for the garden

Anyone know somewhere which sells a decent quality garden goal. Nearly every one I've looked at is so flimsy they break / fall over whenever a ball hits it.

My friends and me pitched in to get this: http://www.thesoccerstore.co.uk/football-goals/kickster-academy-12-x-6-football-goal

There are smaller and cheaper ones of course but this one has going for over 2 years of having grown ups smash the ball at it every Saturday.

They look pretty flimsy to me though. This one is what i'm going to get:

What size do you want or how old are the kids ???

Samba goals are pretty decent

Might be worthwhile seeing one of your local Junior football teams. They will all be getting new nets for the new season so they might have an old set of decent one's available for a donation or nominal fee

Kids are from 6 - 9. I've opted for a 6x4 goal for now. Decent enough size without looking too big in the garden.

They're not. The base is anchored into the ground steel U bars, and the whole thing is in tension.
