Hi,
Not all of us can build or buy our own professional jumps. Mostly, we have to made do with what we have in our backyard. Some people use brooms or sticks as poles, and stack shoes, flower pots, bricks, or anything else they can get their hands on for the sides.
What do you use for "homemade" jumps?
I used to use:
- Wooden Poles.
- Broken up garden stakes (checked for splinters)
- Bricks
- Logs (for sides)
Rachel.

Some of the things I use are:
-bricks
-poles/sticks/2x4's/and every other piece of wood imaginable : for the jump bars (I also use crocet (sp?) handles! Lol.
-produce crates (on ends, with rocks in them to hold them up)
-garden fencing
- NIC panels to hold bars
Basicaly, anything I find that is useful I use! Lol. I have one huge spread jump right now that I use 4 white poles for (im in the process of painting all my jumps very stylishly) the bars, 1 regular brick, 1 huge brick that has two holes, three NIC panels, a little horse-shoe "Stand" type of thing, and a bucket. All the poles sit at different levels to creat the most unique spread jump. I will try and get a picture of it later, it's soo cool looking.

I'd be interested to see a picture, as I can't quite imagine it from your description. How wide is it? Rachel. |

Hmm It's probably a good 2 1/2 feet wide. Yes I'll take a few pictures of it in just a minute, and then I'll upload them  ETA: Here are the pictures of the jump I explained above  --   --- Same jump, different angle. Top/side view. The black thing you see is the horseshoe stand. |

Here's a picture of the cleaned up course that I trained Magic on yesterday. The smaller course on the far right is for my sister's Polish who she and I are training. Those jumps weren't over 6 or 8 inches, although Savannah (the bunny) can jump extremely well and high!  |

Here is a simple jump that I made using 2 popbottle containers and poles from the chrokay (sp) set that I have claimed to use the supplies as rabbit jumps, lol.  I will take more course pictures later when I set up another couple of courses for lessons |

That kind of jumps might be dangerous, because the poles won't be able to drop if rabbit touches them. It might hurt the rabbit :\
