What jumps to buy?

[pairciban]

Hi
We need to get a set of show jumps for the yard. We want plastic ones as all the liveries put poles on the floor, forget about them and they rot! They are going to stay out in the jumping paddock (grass) all year round so need to be hardy. Buget is £2000 and we want as many as possible. Not worried about having wings, uprights will do and some fillers would be good.
I have phoned jump4joy and polyjump for quotes, just waiting for them to get back to me.

So question, what jumps do you recommend for a long life and value?

Thanks

Jump 4 Joy are really good and some of their fillers are really bright. I'm not a fan of plastic poles so I've got wooden ones.

Definately polyjumps.I do use wooden poles but lag them in marine varnish first so they are waterproof and do not rot for years.

A friend of mine has Classic Showjumps. She likes them and they look fine to me

Jump4Joy, definitely. don't bother with polyjumps, mine were rubbish. J4J are by far the best.

The poly jumps are great but be careful which poles you get as some are not suitable for use as trotting poles or for jumping over 2ft9

I have to say i'm going towards jump4joy.

Why aren't some of the polyjump poles suitable? are they too light?

i'd buy J4J uprights and fillers, and wooden poles from local woodyard etc (much much cheaper) and then paint them, or put polerolls on them... £34 ish per pole for heavyweight plastic poles from J4J is a lot, you can save lots of money with wooden poles and get a lot of plastic uprights and fillers instead, best of both worlds!
i haven't had polyjump poles, i've had fillers (which warped very badly) and uprights (which the cups snapped off, very annoying.) J4J ones as good as new after about 7 years so far...

Jump4Joy!!!!

I've just bought a set for my livery yard. I bought the Novice course plus more stands for £1,690. I'd like to buy some planks as well soon.

I didn't go for PolyJumps in the end as the qulaity isn't as good.
