With the crazy price of lumber these days, I’m seeking ideas for creative, lower cost jump fill. Would love to replenish/spruce up some of mine without spending an arm and a leg! Thoughts??
Pool floaties. We have a cute duck under a jump currently! Make sure to put a rock or two in there. Bonus because it makes a noise when the sand hits it, so it really desensitizes them.

Sometimes tractor supply co has fake plastic logs. They look like this https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/red-shed-log-planter
They go on sale regularly. I got mine for $10. They look nice with some fake flowers in them.
Every once in a while I go in an check what they have. Sometimes they have wagon wheels, tree stumps, etc all out of plastic. I’ve had mine 3 years with no fading or cracking.

My trainer found these small decorative barrels on clearance at a Home Goods (or similar store). She buys old artificial christmas trees at garage sales, pulls the branches off and uses them as filler. She added it in around either side and at the bottom and it turned out to be the cutest little fence. I bet you could find some stuff on Craigslist from people trying to sell their wedding decorations or something too. There are always lots of fake flowers and the rustic “wood” stuff is all the rage right now.
Here’s the fence before she added the brush in.

Thanks all! I am totally going to pick up some pool floats and look for those logs at tractor supply!!
When Halloween comes around, pumpkins and corn husks are great as jump fill and as ring decor.
