The goals should be made out of thick walled steel, this would not be an issue.
Basically, if you are building goals that are different than Lexington's in any way, you're fucking doing it wrong.
Moving the nets
Whats the actual rules about moving nets right now?
I remember an old school rules about pylon, and it was that the one who made it move should put the pylon back at his original point. This rule wasn't stupid, most of the time now, on big walls courts, the nets are hard to replace for a Goal judge (Cf Calgary, Toronto). And the nets are pretty lights, or if they aren't, the top bar make them move really often.
...to the people who say steel is dangerous; if you can't avoid a goal, you shouldn't be playing bike polo.
from the nets whats best thread
I am sick of nets that move around. Time to start making those maf's out of solid steel. Calgary was especially horrible for this (despite their creativity to wrap the bottom of the goals with rubber tubes which did help) because there was a giant fence between people with the ability to help and the goals. This creates so much unnecessary controversy over goals or non goals on a net that was out of place. Polo players are generally good enough on their bikes to avoid 150+ pound moving objects. I think it is fair to assume the same caution could exist with an inanimate object. If not steel some sort of non permanent non surface damaging anchor system would be great. Polo playing engineers please get going on this.

What about intalling some knock out plugs & the filling the bottom PVC rails with sand?
At NAHBPC 2010 a goal was scored against my team when i was moving toward net and hit it off the line with my steering handle bar end(accidentally). the ball went into the moved net but did not cross the line that was painted on the ground. It was called a goal. At NAHBPC 2011 i was the one with the ball and a defender crashed into his net hence moving it. i had shot the ball at the same time he crashed into the net and it crossed the line and went into the net. it was called no goal, because the net was moved. PLEASE MAKE A CONSISTANT RULING ON THIS.
oh wait i just reread your post and are you asking about who should replace the nets when they move? well my point still stands on the rules issue.
