Manufactured to FIH Specifications

The Gimtrac steel field hockey goal is the aluminium goal’s design built in steel: the same 3.66 x 2.14 m goal mouth to the FIH rules, the same side- and back-boards faced with galvanised steel and green turf, the same bent arches holding the net back, and the same two rubber wheels at the back. It is heavier than the aluminium goal and stands firmer.

Specification

• Goal mouth: 3 660 x 2 140 mm inside, to the FIH rules
• Overall: 3 809 wide x 1 461 deep x 2 190 high
• Uprights: 50 x 50 mm steel
• Crossbar: 50 x 50 mm steel, bolted
• Board frames: 50 x 38 mm steel
• Side- and back-boards: 460 mm high, galvanised steel faced with green turf
• Net fixing: laser-cut steel lugs, 10 mm aluminium rods
• Wheels: two 200 mm solid rubber
• Net: León de Oro, 3 mm white, 40 mm mesh
• Weight: ≈ 159 kg
• Longest piece: 3 660 mm

Three finishes

• Hot-dip galvanised: the whole frame dipped in zinc: silver grey, the toughest against the weather and the lowest upkeep
• Powder coated: brilliant white gloss, as the aluminium goal, over the bare steel
• Galvanised and powder coated: galvanised first, then powder coated white: the look of the white goal with the galvanising’s protection underneath, the longest lasting

The finishes look the same from the touchline; the choice is in how long the goal is to last and where it stands.

Features

• Built to the FIH Rules of Hockey: a 3.66 x 2.14 m goal mouth, 50 mm wide uprights and crossbar, 460 mm side- and back-boards
• The 50 mm square steel crossbar is bolted to the elbows
• Side- and back-boards: welded frames faced with galvanised steel, green artificial turf glued on the inside to deaden the sound of the ball, bolted on with M6 cup squares; the back-board bolts to the side-boards
• Bent arches hold the net’s top back; the net’s rods run through laser-cut steel lugs welded on the frame
• Two solid rubber wheels at the back, just off the ground: lift the front and wheel the goal away
• Supplied with an imported León de Oro 3 mm white hockey net

Flat-packed: four pieces and a box, bolted together on site

The goal leaves the workshop in four welded pieces: the two side frames (each upright with its side-board, arch and net fixings welded on, the turf-faced plates already bolted in place), the crossbar, and the back-board with its wheels. On site the crossbar slides onto the elbows and bolts on, the back-board bolts between the side-boards, and the net rods slide through the bushes. The longest piece is 3 660 mm, so the goal is easy to transport and to store. The steel goal comes the same way.

In the box

• Two side frames: each upright with its side-board, arch and net bushes welded on, the turf-faced plates bolted in
• The crossbar
• The back-board, its turf-faced plates bolted in and its two wheels on
• Six aluminium net rods, the net and ski rope in a box, every bolt, washer and nut

The net

Every Gimtrac field hockey goal is supplied with an imported León de Oro hockey net: white 3 mm cord in high tenacity polypropylene, UV-stabilised and rot resistant. The 40 mm mesh and 3 mm cord meet the FIH Rules of Hockey for a goal net (3 mm cord at least, 45 mm mesh at most). The net is made 0.9 m deep at the top and 1.2 m at the ground, and hangs loosely inside the arches so a ball in the net stays there instead of bouncing back out. Gimtrac is the Southern African agent for León de Oro nets, made by Tecnología Deportiva S.A., Spain.
