Question

What size pipe will fit in the jump cups ?

Community Answer

Landscaping timbers work best. PVC shatters easily so don't use it.

Question

How long is the pole?

Community Answer

The average length of the jumping poles range from 70cm to 3m. But shorter ones should NOT be used for jumping, only walking over. The average jumping pole seems to be 2m.

Question

What size are the posts? What kind of wood is it?

Community Answer

The size of the posts should be 4X4, and since these are often exposed to the elements, I'd choose a pressure-treated lumber.
