A fellow club member and I built her some jumps the other day, so I thought I'd share the do-it-yourself steps. These are light weight and you can break them down easily for transport. Here's a photo with the measurements:

We used 3/4 inch PVC pipe. You'll also need four 3/4 inch, 3-way connectors for the base and brace. As you can see, the base and jump bar are 47 inches each. The uprights are 41 inches and the 4 brace pieces are 12 inches each. To connect the 3 way connectors together, I cut a small piece 1 1/2 - 2 inches in length.

If your dog is bad about knocking the bar off, you can get two caps for the bar and add sand in it to make it more substantial. If you do that you might have to cut 1/2 to 1 inch off the jump. Just try it and see before you make a cut!

I bought a tool called a Ratcheting PVC Cutter and it was well worth it. Not expensive, but makes square cuts and is easy to use.

For the cup clips, I ordered the 3/4 inch ones from Clean Run's store. There's ten in a package.

I also bought some colorful electrician's tape to put on the jump bar.

As I was rearranging my jumps to practice treadles, I noticed something on one of the uprights.....




....so I decided to leave that jump for awhile..... Didn't want to disturb my little friend's hunting spot.
