Factory-direct
Wholesale & B2B — Inflatable Goals, Markers, Field Lighting
We're TAY Sports — manufacturer of the Rigid-Air Technology (RAT) behind this portable training kit. For distributors, clubs, schools, academies and councils across the UK and Ireland, we ship by sea from China (FOB Ningbo/Shanghai) to your destination port — with CE/UKCA and BS EN 16579 documentation. UK trading entity: TAY SPORTS LTD.
Why buy factory-direct
40–55% lower unit cost
Versus catalogue or specialist-retailer pricing. The same goal, the same build quality — without two layers of reseller margin in between.
Compliance documentation
CE/UKCA marking and BS EN 16579 (the British/European safety standard for portable football goals). Project-specific, signed declarations of conformity within 1–2 working days. EN 16579 is held as a manufacturer self-declaration.
21 years of manufacturing
Making since 2005 in Shaoxing, China. Established distributor relationships in 30+ countries. Stable production capacity — not a trading company.
Sea freight to your port
FOB Ningbo/Shanghai by container to Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway or Liverpool. DDP on request. Typical transit 25–45 days port to port.
UK & Ireland buyers — sea freight / container orders
Most distributors mix products into a 20ft or 40ft container (goals + markers + lighting), which we coordinate end to end.
Destination ports
Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, Liverpool; Dublin for Ireland. Existing customers in the UK, Ireland, Germany, France and the Netherlands.
Compliance
CE/UKCA marking + BS EN 16579 for every order. Material composition and REACH / UK REACH details for the TPU fabric, frame and adhesives.

Payment terms
Typically 30% deposit / 70% before shipment. Letter of credit (L/C) for larger orders. Volume pricing in GBP on request, by product mix, destination and certification needs.
