THE JUMP CUP
Dog Agility Shop, LLC is proud not to be the cheapest jump cup supplier on Ebay! Are we crazy? Not at all! Folks, we have been selling our jump cups world wide for a decade now. Every now and again a snake oil salesman will pop up and start hacking up PVC water tees with a saw and advertise them as "Jump Cups". They can sell these dirt cheap to you because the materials are dirt cheap! PVC water tees are not designed to be hacked up and used as jump cups. This is very dangerous to both you and your pet and quite frankly, the sellers should be ashamed of taking advantage of folks like you.
Here is feedback from an actual customer of a seller on Ebay and their reply to the customer:
There are true 3/4 inch jump cups out there. These are DIY from 3/4 T fittings!

We offered to refund you upon return, But you want to Blackmail us & steal them
Folks, is this the kind of person you really want to deal with? It's dishonest and a shame!
We would rather give you the contact name and number of a reputable competitor to buy true snap on jump cups then see you waste your time, money and most importantly risk your safety with this junk.
This listing is for a total of 10 jump cups. These will fit ANY PVC pipe labeled on the outside of the pipe, 1".
-Made specifically to be a true "snap on" jump cup (not a water tee sawed in half!)-
-Fully adjustable to any height-
-No glue, screws, bolts required-
-Free building plans below! No need to wait to purchase materials!-
PVC LOGIC
With any PVC project, it is important to note that PVC pipe should be measured using the inner diameter if your pipe in not factory labeled. The jump cup ordered should match the size labeled on the pipe and/or inner diameter size, not the outside diameter.

D.I.Y. DOG AGILITY JUMP
WITH
DOG AGILITY SHOP
Today we are going to cover how to build your very own dog jumps for agility. These are relatively easy to build and take very few tools. The cost can vary depending on where you buy your materials but generally speaking, plan on spending or less per jump.
LET'S JUMP RIGHT IN! (no pun intended)
The jump below represents your finished product. The color that you choose for striping the jump may be different than ours but the structure will be identical.
TOOLS NEEDED:
Pictured above are the basic tools that you will need.
rubber mallet
#2 pencil or marker
tape measure
pipe cutter/pvc cutter or a simple hack saw will do!
optional: striping tape of your color choice
PIPE AND FITTINGS LIST
Pipe lengths
Pipe
You will need to purchase 2-10ft. lengths of 3/4" PVC pipe from your local hardware store to make the following pieces needed:
(3) pieces measuring 34 1/2" in length
(1) piece measuring 33 1/2" in length
(4) pieces at 1 foot in length
(2) pieces at 2" in length
Fittings
Fittings
You will need the following fittings:
(4) 3/4" PVC Tee's
(6) PVC Caps
(2) Dog Agility Shop Jump Cups 3/4"
**IMPORTANT**
We highly recommend purchasing jump cups
made for this purpose!
There are many tutorials out there that say you can saw up PVC water Tee's. This is
extremely unsafe
to both you and your pet. Water Tee's are made of a very brittle PVC and are not made to be cut for this purpose!
Cutting your pipe to size
Below is one tool of the trade that is probably the cleanest and easiest method of cutting pipe. This picture illustrates cutting your pipe to length with a pipe cutter which is available at most hardware stores in the plumbing section. Cost will vary depending on model and brand. Generally speaking, these are about for the tool. If cared for properly, you will get years and years of use out of the pipe cutter around the house. It is good for cutting PVC and copper.
Other options that will work almost as well are a hacksaw or chop saw with a fine tooth, plastic cutting blade.

ASSEMBLY OF PIPE
Although not required for this project, you may opt to use a PVC cement to connect the joints of your project. Since your jump will not be holding water or be subject to pressure, there really isn't a need to use PVC cement.
Step #1
Start with (2) Tee's, (4) caps, (2) 2" adapters and (4) of the 1 foot sections. These will assemble to form the feet of the jump. Below is an exploded view followed by the finished part.

Leg Pieces completed
All of the components can be assembled by gently tapping on the ends with the rubber mallet. Be certain to
use proper safety equipment including safety glasses
when working with your project!

Step #2
For this step, you will be using a 34 1/2" piece of pipe to make the cross bar support. It will require attaching the final 2 Tee's on the end of the pipe. It is important that the tee's are attached at the same angle on both ends of the pipe. Failure to do this will result in a jump that is tipsy and assembled crooked. The easiest way to achieve this is to lay the tee's flat (level) on the ground at each end of the pipe. Before tapping them onto the pipe with the mallet, be certain the pipe does not "wobble". Once they are tapped on to the pipe, the tee's will not come off!

Step #3
The final step is to assemble the uprights and attach the jump cups. Taking the final 34 1/2" pieces, attach (1) cap to each piece of pipe. The Dog Agility Shop jump cup can be attached as well. The caps can again be tapped on using the rubber mallet.

I will briefly mention here that this project can be duplicated in 1" PVC if you desire. Any of the parts can be striped at the end as seen below.
Taping your jump any way you like!
The last step is assembly! A picture tells a thousand words so here is an exploded view of the jump:
Note that the 33 1/2" jump bar can be added after assembly
