I found the most affordable jump cups at horse.com at around $4.50 a pair. They work pretty well. But my favorite jump cups are the Dapple Equine one handed cups. They are fantastic, strong, and last forever. Sometimes you can find them on Amazon for around $11.00 a pair! But usually they are around $25.00 a pair. So pretty expensive.
My wife and I are about to build some standards this weekend. Thank you for making this video. I do have one question. Did you choose to use landscaping timbers vs. a 4x4s to save $$$ or do you just prefer the timbers instead? We bought 4x4s. Your jumps look awesome! I'm a newbie at building jumps and need all the help I can get! and Thank you!
Hi Layron! Congrats on taking the first step to making some jumps!!!! That is so exciting!!!! I like to use the landscaping timbers mainly due to cost, secondly due to weight. I have found the landscaping timbers to be lighter, and easier for me to move around, but ultimately it is the cost :) The conventional jump cups fit better on the 4 x 4 standards too But when you think about it, even by using the 4 x 4 wood, you will be able to create some great jump standards for a fraction of the cost of buying a set ready made. So you are a winner either way in my opinion :) Happy jump building!!!
Nice video. Don't understand why you skipped the step of attaching the base. Anyone can drill a hole or spread caulk. I'd have liked to see how you squared flat boards on round edges.
I use Rust-Oleum paint, and I get it at Home Depot. They have the best prices. The blue that I used in this video I bought at Big R (it's like a tractor supply store) and it was called Ford blue. It was more expensive than my usual, but it was wort it because I got the color I wanted :) I didn't like the blue Rust-Oleum has (it's called sail blue). I have also bought different colors I couldn't make at Sherwin Williams, but that was REALLY expensive, like $22.00 for a quart of paint.
Thanks for sharing.. My daughter and I have horses and she wants to start learning to jump... This is very helpful on building myself..
Love this Chanel I'm starting this for my summer project

Holy cow! You're amazing! Thank you so much for sharing.
Love this!! great channel! Building some jumps next week!
Thank you Lindsey :) I hope you have fun making your jumps!
Try setting up a stop block 16 inches from the blade, then you won’t waist time measuring and marking all that lumber. Fast repeatable cuts
What jump cups do u use

The conventional jump cups fit better on the 4 x 4 standards too

The Budget Equestrian thanks so much for the input!
Do normal jump cups fit on these jumps? Like the crossrails do they fit okay? I need to know asap

Any timber that is going to be in contact with the ground should be pressure treated so they don’t rot really quickly
what brand of oil based paint are you using and where can I buy it.

Great :-) video.
Why would anyone need 6' standards?
I made it by myself thanks to woodprix website.
