Sorry, this will hopefully be the last jump post I will bore you with! lol

Last month I decided it might be cheaper to make my own jumps. So we made a pair of wings before my dad gave up on the idea!!!

The wings cost me £30 in wood to make, £5 in paint, £20 for two pairs of cups and £20 in poles adding up to £75 for a home made jump!!! Not really the bargain I had banked on in the end lol.

Soooo, have now found a guy who makes much better quality jumps than what I have for the same price! Before I go ahead and order what do you make of these prices....

£75 for an unpainted jump set.... pair of wings, 2 poles, 4 cups (He charges £95 if you want them painted but it's cheaper for me to do that myself as I already have the paint)

£28 for a road closed filler including a pair of flat cups which cost £11 to buy seperatly.

£50 for two planks. Again including 4 flat cups which would cost me £22 to buy seperatly.

Gate for £45 including cups

Hanging fillers and cups for £55

Does this sound reasonable?
 
Sounds pretty reasonable to me. OH makes jumps and they are time consuming and the materials are expensive!

Could either of you tell me how you went about making them! My Dad is in the wood working machine buisness so he can get the wood- did you have a special plan book or plans or anything? Please help as i really want some jumps and my dad says he will make them if i can tell him what to do
