Portable posts for Rec-Footy Leagues

What you need: 6 x 10' 2.5" poly pipe 4 x 2.5" poly couplings to fit the end of the pipe 8 x 4' steel pickets Hack saw for cutting poly pipe.

Preparation: Cut 2 all the lengths of poly pipe in half to make 12 5' pieces.

Assembly:

  • Attach the 4 couplings to 4 pieces of poly pipe.
  • Connect 4 lots of poly pipe together in pairs to make 4 x 10" posts. These will be your main uprights.
  • At each end of your field, drive 4 steel pickets into the ground where you want your goal posts.
  • Place the 5' pieces of poly pipe over the 2 outer pickets and the 2 10' posts over the center two posts.

Note: Cutting the two tall uprights in half allows for easy transportation.


Large Posts for USAFL Matches

What you need: Bigger poly pipe Couplings to fit the end of the pipe Bigger steel pickets Possibly a hack saw for cutting poly pipe

Assembly:

Follow above instructions allowing for different sizes of equipment.

Suggestion:

Build the main uprights in 3 pieces (approx. 20' tall) and the point posts in 2 sections (approx. 10ft tall). To make them less top-heavy, use 4-5" poly pipe for two bottom sections of the main uprights and bottom half of the point posts works well with the top third/half being smaller 2.5"-3.5" pipe.
