Bar jump

Materials needed:

• (2) 10’ x 1 ½" PVC pipe
• (4) 1 ½" T connectors
• (2) curved power tool peg board hangers (for holding the bar)
• (6) 1 ½" end caps
• pkg of #8 x ½" sheet metal screws
• Roll of black electrical tape
• PVC regular clear cement (4oz)

Let's get started..............

Cut all the pieces as shown. Follow the pictures as to assembly. Not hard at all. Secure the pieces with the sheet metal screws drilling 1/8" pilot holes OR use PVC glue (your option), glue on the end caps. I do not put end caps on the bar. It has open ends.

Drill the 1/4"holes on the upright pieces to hold the hangers for the bar as shown in diagram. There should be pairs (2) starting at 5" from the bottom and every two inches up. This will give the proper height when assembled (8,10,12, etc.) I do not permanently fasten the upright to the base because it makes it breakdown nicely if you want to haul it around(see photo below). Take the black electrical tape and make your black strips on the bar. I do two widths of black, leave two widths white, etc. The bar cradles on the holders. I know that it actually should fall off if hit. This is not a good thing with Chihuahuas…..it could kill them. And why would you want to scare a dog with a bar coming down on them? I have had my Chihuahuas roll off the top of it and not become afraid.
