DIY Water Jump

[ThatConnemara]

I'm looking at prices to build a water jump. Has anyone built one?
I'm trying to find the cheapest way to build one, but it does not have to be exactly like in the picture, it could be as small as this
(Not including jumps)

Cheapest way?
Trailer to XC course and use theirs.
It will be safe ie not a swamp in the bottom.

This. Why build your own to then have to stress and pay out for the upkeep when you can use someone else's who looks after it professionally?

There isn't much point in having one at home, as they soon 'learn' the one at home, but not necessarily learn that all others are safe. Best to travel to a variety of courses, some of which will have 2 or 3 water obstacles in one venue.

ETA - Ah, just noticed who the poster is - I would forget the water jump and get the budget sorted for the horse to be purchased in whatever country you end up living in.

There is no xc course within 7 hours of my home, I have considered these options.

I don't see why everyone is looking in other places, we are building the stables right now, and I'm looking at how to build a water jump in the field we just bought next to my house.

I see why everyone is saying this but I can't drive to a xc course, it would be 14 hours driving there and back.
