Show Jump Poles - Two Colour, Plastic Showjump Poles

Product Information

There are numerous different types of horse jumps you can build in a course, including cross rail jumps, simple verticals, oxers, post and rail jumps, water jumps, triple bars, and more. However, you can find a large variety of horse jumps across different disciplines. Ok, so you have figured out what you are going to put your timbers on, great! First we need to sand the wood. You want to use a lower grit sand paper, because sometimes these timbers can be very rough. The lower grit sandpaper makes fast work of rough edges. When I am sanding, I sand all of the wood first, and then move them off of the stands. Horse jump rails are one of the most important pieces to consider when you take on the project of making your own horse jumps. And of all of the pieces of building your own horse jumps, the rails seem to be the most difficult part. Finding ready made round rails that are long enough to be used as horse jump poles confounds me. I am always looking for something affordable that I can use for poles. The weights may vary slightly as wood is never 100% consistent. Therefore weights given are an approximation only. And once the finish coat of paint is done in a period of 2-3 days, then I still have 2 days left of the work week that if I wanted to add stripes, I can do this too! Ready, Set……Done!

A lot of people will attempt to use PVC pipe for poles, and I can understand why. They have the ‘look’ that we are trying to achieve with our homemade horse jumps. They are the perfect size, and they just look like they are perfect for poles. But, really they aren’t. PVC pipe is not intended to be used as poles for horse jumps, so please don’t be tempted to use them. Where To Find Horse Jump RailsAfter you have painted all visible areas of your rails, allow them to dry. Depending on where you live, and what time of year it is, you can anticipate at least 12 hours of drying time. I like to paint my rails after I come home from work, and have already gotten my barn chores done. I like to do it this way because it can always be light in my garage, and I only have so many hours of daylight, or temperate weather to be with my horses. So after I have gotten my barn chores and horse work done, I will come to the garage and paint my rails. It will take me about 30 minutes to paint 6 rails. And when I’m done, I go inside and watch TV, or write an article or two. But then when I come home from work the next day, I flip the rails and paint the remaining sides.

When you are painting with oil based paints, they take longer to dry than latex. Keep that in mind when you are painting because all your components will need to completely dry in between coats of paint.
