Quick,easy and cheap.
Make your own.
Use any square-ish pole/landscape timbers work great they come in 8' length cut in half drill holes through every 3" any 2x4 or scrap wood put 4 legs on [nail one on each side] or 2 longer legs[ H] paint add jump cups

Pvc poles from a DIY store

plywood-cut length wise in 3 pieces, that gives you a top and 2 sides use scrap wood as braces nail together paint[brick wall]

2x4- drill holes through cut 6 inches off each end nail to bottom[opposite direction T ] for feet. Fill holes with plastic flowers from dollor store.

Metal or plastic 55 gallon drums-turned on sides or standing up right-how high do you want to jump?

Plywood- cut 1 piece in a circle then cut circle in half=ends. Cut second piece length wise into 5 strips nail strips to half circle ends, cover with carpet remnant=rolltop.

Dollar store plastc table cloth=Water jump.

Fancy wing standards-Buy a panel of PVC fence [DIY store] Cut lengthwise into 2 1/2' strips nail to standard poles as above.

press board [plywoods to heavy] cut into half twice nail together to create a box. Nail to 2x4's up on opposite sides. more press boards to make a roof,another 2x4 on outside edge with holes drilled for jump cups. Wishing well standard.

Use your imagination the possibilities are endless.

Sweet! Thanks for that post! Jumps really are easier to create than some people might think.

Default Thank You

You went to a lot of effort to post those instructions. I don't jump, but probably a lot of people could benefit from your information. Thank You for sharing.

We have heaps of jumping shops over in NZ cheap ones too
but...me and my sister just got out this jump book and made our own...with
Barrels and planks and brush.
our local horse club.. lets us (members) use the proper jumps, we just have to make them up with the poles, barrels, whatever its cool.

I have had to fix every jump we have bought online from jumps usa. The plastic PVC jumps all came cracked. I made some braces and glued them in the corners and they are fine now.. A simple fix. I don't know why they wont do it.

Wouldn't be that bad of a product if they did.
