Making and painting show jumps?
Hi, I plan to make some show jumps during the easter holidays because the ones you can buy are so expensive!
First of all, how can I make show jump standards and also proper wings 4ft high? What type of wood shall I use? Could you also give me some measurements and instructions on how to make some fillers? And how shall I paint them so they last longer? Do I need to use an undercoat or just gloss? Any colour scheme ideas and patterns for the poles?
Sorry that there's so many questions! Thanks!
Sounds fun! They are VERY expensive, that's why my dad made mine.
Here's how to make some nice standards:
What you'll need:
Tools-
.::Saw or chainsaw
.::Circular saw
.::Drill with ¼-inch bit
.::½-inch spade bit
.::Phillips head screwdriver
Materials-
.::One 8-foot length of treated 4”x4” wood
.::Two 8-foot lengths of treated 1”x4” wood (1"x4" is lighter to carry, but if you want sturdier wings, use 2"x4")
.::Box of 1 1/2-inch wood screws and pair of jump cups
Instructions:
Step 1-Prop the 4”x4” beam up off the ground; sawhorses or bags of shavings/hay bales work equally well. Measure and saw into two four-foot halves.

Step 2: Measure 18” away from the ground end on each of the four-foot pieces just cut. Start marking for jump cup holes in the center of the beam every three inches until you get to the top.

Step 3: Using the ¼-inch drill bit, make a hole at each mark, all the way through the beam. Switch to the ½-inch spade bit and widen each existing hole.

Step 4: Prop a 1”x4” (or 2"x4") plank off the ground, measuring and marking every 20”. Using the saw or circular saw, cut the board into four “jump feet.” Repeat with other 1”x4” (or 2"x4") plank.

Step 5: Prop up a four-foot 4”x4” beam so one of the feet lines up at a 90-degree angle along the bottom. Use two screws to mount the foot to the base of the beam.

Step 6: Rotate the beam and continue mounting the other three feet in a pinwheel pattern, using two screws for each one.

Step 7: Set up your new standard to make sure it’s sturdy, then try mounting a jump cup and pin to check the fit through the holes.

As for fillers, there are lots of things you can use! Straw/hay bales, buckets and barrels, tree branches, pallets, logs, horse blankets (hung over the top), etc. My instructor also made some flowerboxes cheaply. She bought some empty flower boxes (for real flowers), and got some wood to fit inside it. Then she drilled some holes in the wood, and stuck some cheap, fake flowers in them. Really easy, really inexpensive. Unfortunately, she got her plastic flowers TOO cheap, and the heads fall off, but if you get the right flowers, it will work fine!

As for colors, look up some things people do on their walls. You can do a sponge kind of thing, some swirlyness...idk, lol And I saw one person splatter paint on a solid painted standard. Just be creative!
