Half brag (because I’m glad it’s over), half instructional.
Previous arrangement was that I had to take down jumps every time I set them up. No jumping has ever been allowed in the indoor, outdoor was ok. This is a big PITA, so after some negotiating with the BO we agreed that I could leave jumps up, if and only if they were painted pretty.
Game on.
It should be said this is a small barn where nearly no one rides, so this is primarily for me. There were 8 standards existing at the barn, and minimal jump cups (of the ultra cheap variety). These were not built by me, but were inherited from previous boarders who did not take them with them. I typically would use jump blocks (which I do own) to set quick and dirty courses, because I didn’t have the time or the energy to drag standards around to ride one horse.
First up: Standards.
After repainting the existing standards, I began formulating a design for my own. I decided to build the bases out of wood, with only 18" of 4x4 sticking out the top. I would then cut a pvc 4x4 x 100" sleeve in half, drill it, cap it, and then slide it over the 18" protruding wood 4x4 of the base. I decided to make 18 (!) of them.
Worth a mention - whoever here in a past thread said these are easier to paint disassembled, you are a sick individual and I hate you. :lol:
Tools/equipment: circular saw, miter saw, impact drill, zinsser primer, dutch boy trim paint.
Materials: treated 2x6s, treated 4x4s, pvc 4x4 x 100", pvc post caps, 3" spax screws.
