DIY Jump Plans By Breanne Long, photos by author These lightweight PVC single-bar jumps with 4'-long jump bars are a straight forward do-ityourself project. Materials Tools This materials list is for making three jumps. The jumps cost about $22 each to make using schedule 40 PVC. Using furniture-grade color PVC will increase the cost. All of the materials are available at CleanRun.com. * PVC cutter or hacksaw * 6 - 1" PVC 5-way connectors * Carpenter's rule or tape measure * Pencil or marker Directions 1. Take 3 of the 10' lengths of PVC pipe and cut each one into the following pieces: * 30 - 1" PVC end caps * 5 - 10' lengths of 1" schedule 40 PVC pipe * 3 - packages of Large Clip and Go Clip-on Jump Cups (10 per package) or pairs of Clip and Go Jump Cup Strips. (If you buy the white clip-on strips from CleanRun.com, the price is the same as for a package of 10 jump cups.) * 2 - 3' pieces * 1 - 4' piece 2. The 4' sections will be your jump bars. You should have 3 of them. Label each with a "C" and set aside. 3. You should have 6 pieces that are 3' long. Label 3 of them with an "A" and set aside. You will use the other 3 in the next step. 4. Take the remaining 3' sections you cut in step 1 and cut each into 9"-long pieces. You should have 12 pieces when you are done. Label these 9" sections with a "B." 5. Take one of the remaining 10' lengths of PVC pipe and cut it into 3' lengths. You will get a total of 3 pieces. Label these with an "A" and set aside. There will be 1' of scrap. Label or discard the scrap so it doesn't get mixed in with the 9" pieces of pipe. 6. Using the last 10' length of PVC pipe, cut 12 pieces that are 9" in length. Label these with a "B" and set aside. There will be 1' of scrap. Label or discard the scrap so it doesn't get mixed in with the 9" pieces of pipe. 7. 60 Assemble the jumps as shown in the diagram?photo. Fit 4 "B" pieces into the 4 receptacles in the base of each 5-way PVC connector. Fit an "A" piece into the single upright receptacle of each 5-way PVC connector. Attach end caps to the four base sections and the one upright section. Clean Run | December 15http://www.CleanRun.com http://www.CleanRun.com
