Ahhhh, those are really nice. Pat, I can help you out with these if you like. I think we should do six of them. If that means we have extras that we don't use, then all the better in case one gets damaged and we need to replace it.

Grant, do you still have that netting that we scored from Masterson a few years ago?

I've made plastic goals once. I'm thru fucking with plastic. I'm making metal ones. You all can cry about it after you fall on them.

There were a few different designs in there brian, i think the best would be like a normal goal but have more of a box frame shape. so the top of the goal would have some depth too like the trapezoid pictured but use the 90* line for the front of the goal

I thought the design with low-profile black PVC was a good design. I especially liked the inner-tube stretched across the top instead of actual pipe.
