Goals

[matt25]

Hey guys i'm currently looking for a goal for my backyard here. I know this may be concidered a preference thread, but i don't know much about goals and i was wondering what brand you would recommend that won't get all screwed up if it stays outside here.

You don't really have to worry about the frame getting messed up, but the net. Maybe you should consider buying a crappy goal and a nice net, assuming it would be cheaper. If that doesn't work out I would just buy a standard high school goal.

http://qclax.com/detail.aspx?ID=305 is what I have and it's holding up quite nicely. I think it's worth it to put some extra money into a goal, considering:
1) If you don't, it's sort of a waste. Who wants to chase balls after every shot.
2) You'll have it for a really long time.

it wont really matter what type of goal you get, all of them are made for outside, but follow riots advice and get a nice net. 300LPN is a 3mm net, those hold up pretty good, but the 4mm nets will never rip, my friend has had his for 3 years. Definately go with riots cage b/c thats amazing for the price and it wont be worth it to buy the 4mm net now b/c that can be around $300 w/ a goal

So if i don't really feel like spending 200 for a goal get a nice net and it should hold up here?
