Franklin Premier Folding Goal (5-Ft. x 10-Ft.) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased 2 of these goals for recreational play.
I play 2x a week with a group of 10-15 adults.
I upgraded from PUGG 6 Footer Portable Training Goal Boxed Set (Two Goals & Bag)
The PUGG Goals are great, 10 seconds to put up to play, and they fold up nicely.
Then why the upgrade?
Pros:
1) Size. Its much more fun to take shots at goal, when there is a decent sized target to take aim at.
2) Sturdy goal. A full grown adults take shots at this goal, and the ball bounces back from the Post.
3) Playing a game of soccer with REAL goals, instead of just cones. A completely different game compared to when playing with Cones or PUGG goals.
Cons:
1) Assembly ( takes about 3 minutes to put up the frame, and 2 minutes to put the net up.
2) Dis-assembly - same as above
3) No Carry Bag Included. I purchased a separate 42"x25" Bag to house the goals in.
4) WEIGHT.. They are 25LBS EACH. So a total of 50lbs to be carried to and from car.
5) Size. Takes a a Decent amount of space in my trunk.
Overall VERY satisfied with the Build quality, especially for the low price.
The boxes that came with the goals, got rained on in the first game we played.
The boxes are cardboard and got ruined. I purchased the following Duffle bag:
Side Zipper Canvas Duffle Bags
One 42x25" Bag holds both goals, nets, and a ball with room to spare.
I have uploaded pictures of everything I thought was valuable information.
Leave a comment if you want more pictures or have any other questions.
FYI Current Amazon Price, which is the lowest I have seen for these goal is $[...]EACH.

Update August 2010
Our Net ripped on accident when a cleat was stuck in the net.
But its not big enough for a ball to go through so far we are fine.
Just in case someone needs replacement parts you can acquire some at the following phone numbers:
