Introduction/Liability Disclaimers
Thank you for your purchase of the SG20 Series Soccer Goal. To ensure that our equipment will
provide years of use to you, we are including this installation, operation, and maintenance guide.
This guide will provide information on the proper assembly and installation methods, operating
procedures, and preventative maintenance of your soccer goal.
Please note that a Bill of Materials is being included with this guide. Please check that all of the
parts called out on the Bill of Materials are present prior to beginning assembly. Please do not
substitute for factory parts. Please contact the PSS or Gared Sports customer service department and
allow them to determine if substitute parts are acceptable.
It is recommended that an individual who has been properly trained perform assembly and set up
of the Soccer Goal. No one under the age of 18 should attempt assembly or set up of the unit, unless
properly supervised.
To prevent normal wear and tear from shortening the life of the unit, preventative maintenance
inspections and repairs should be performed at least once per year. If the units are subject to high or
unusual usage, inspections should be scheduled to occur more frequently. If items are found to be
nonconforming, replacements can be ordered from Gared Sports or one of our authorized dealers.
When contacting PSS or Gared Sports, please have information regarding the dealer/installer who
sold the unit, the name of the project, and any applicable warranty information.
Before proceeding with assembly, read all instructions and assembly proceedures. Make sure all parts
have been received and are not damaged.

Goal Frame Assembly
*Use the following step by step instructions to assemble your SG20 series soccer goal.
1) Attach a Backstay Mounting Bracket (7) to each end of the Top Rail (4) as shown in the
following illustration. Use 3/8” x 3/4” bolts (13), and 3/8” lock washers to attach the bracket.
The 3/8” square nuts (19) fit into the slot in the extrusion as shown. Slide the bracket up and
hand tighten the nuts. Position is not important at this point. Go to step 2.

2) Next attach the Side Rails. Position the Connecting Tube (6) between the Side Rail and Top
Rail. Align the four holes. Attach the Side Rail (5) with 3/8” x 1-1/2” bolts (12), 3/8” flat
washers (16), and 3/8” lock washers (17). Use the illustration below as a guide. When
everything is aligned, securely tighten the bolts.

3) Now attach the lower Backstay Mounting Bracket (7) as shown in the illustration below. Use
the same hardware as the top bracket. Then place the Rectangular Vinyl Endcap (10) onto the
end of the side rail. The backstay bracket will overlap the endcap as shown. Mount the bottom
end of the Backstay Pipe (2) to the bracket using two 3/8” flat washers (16), a 3/8” x 2-1/2”
bolt (14), and a 3/8” nylon lock nut (20) to attach the backstay. The bottom side of the backstay
pipe should be even with the bottom of the vinyl endcap so that the goal sits level.

4) Attach the top end of the Backstay Pipe (2) to the top of the Backstay Mounting Bracket (7) as
shown in the illustration below. Use the same hardware as the lower bracket. The height of the
backstay pipe will determine the final position of the top mounting bracket. When all parts are
aligned, securely tighten the bracket bolts (13).

5) Attach the Backstay Brace Pipe (3) near the back of the two side backstay pipes. (see the
following illustration). Use two Brace Clamp halves (8) to attach each end of the brace pipe.
Insert a 5/16” x 2-1/2” carriage bolt (11) from the bottom as shown. Secure with a 5/16” flat
washer (18) and a 5/16” nylon lock nut (21). Make sure the brace pipe is perpendicular to the
backstay pipe and tighten the nuts securely.
6) Position goal in the upright playing position. Check all connections and make sure the goal is
stable. When the goal is properly positioned on the playing field, secure it to the ground with
two J-shaped anchor stakes (9) on each backstay pipe as shown in the following illustration.

7) Install net using plastic clips (item 15). Insert the clips over the edge of the net as shown.
Rotate the clip 90 degrees and insert it into the channel. When fully inserted, rotate it back 90
degrees to lock it into the channel. (See the illustration on the following page)
8) Inspect all joints and connections to make sure the goal is ready for play.

Maintenance
1) General inspection of equipment when used should be performed to ensure no catastrophic
failures have occurred during the course of use between yearly inspections.
2) It is recommended that yearly inspections be conducted to determine if any bolts or other
hardware has become worn or loosened.
3) During yearly inspections, check all joints to make sure they are tight and secure. Check the net
for wear, holes, torn rope, etc.
4) Any loose bolts or nuts should be tightened.
5) Replace any components that are missing or worn.
