I've looked at the alternatives and, unfortunately, I think I might just give in and buy some because binder clips don't come large enough for the 1" PVC (at least not at any stores I've gone to). It also appears that I either didn't push things in quite right or the jump cups take up a lot of room because my 4' jump pole barely goes the length of the jump. I will just have to buy more and have a bit longer of a practice jump. Even without the jump cups and smaller bar it can still be used as a cavaletti and my dog and I have been practicing that way. We're just beginning so she doesn't need height. Built the entire jump, unfortunately I can’t find the necessary supplies for jump cups.

At least, I find PVC stuff in the plumbing area of my local hardware store. It might be that the standards where you live are for 2-inch pipe and not the 1-inch stuff. If you go to Lowes and can't find it, try asking someone in the plumbing department and describe what you want to use it for. They might be able to suggest an alternative (or an alternative store to try). I think it is usually used for plumbing. At least, I find PVC stuff in the plumbing area of my local hardware store.

Everything seems so easy. Unfortunately I can't find any 1" pipe? Maybe it's because I live in canada, and the standard stuff is different?? But all I can find is central vaccum (2" stuff), of the black ABS pipe (at the smallest is 1 1/4 on the inside). And it's SO much more expensive then what you're saying! What is this 1" PVC pipe normally used for? Maybe that will help me find it in the store? I'll try Lowes too, now that it's in Canada ;) Thanks for the help!! Hi,

I posted photos on my Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1455135820 It was SOO easy. Thank you! I have Bassets and a Basset-mix who is learning agility. Haven't got the jump cup clips figured out yet. I can't find paper binder clips big enough, but I rigged something up for today and then will order the next ones.
