An obstacle stand for poles is known by several names. On the one hand, an obstacle stand is a frame for the safe storage of obstacle poles and, on the other hand, an obstacle stand is a carrier for poles on obstacles in show jumping.

Both versions of the obstacle stands are ideal for regularly setting up and dismantling courses or obstacles in the riding arena or indoor arena. The obstacle poles are placed on the stand as an obstacle for show jumping. After show jumping, the obstacle poles are placed on the other stand as a storage option when the poles are not needed.

Obstacle stands are available in different types, heights and materials and are a helpful storage option for show jumpers. A robust jumping pole holder will not fall over when poles are placed on it or taken down and therefore ensures safe storage. At Alfako, we sell a robust holder for storing obstacle poles, which is why we will only discuss this type of obstacle stand below.

When do you use obstacle stands?

Obstacle stands are used to set up obstacles and courses at show jumping events or for everyday training. An obstacle stand is available in different designs and sizes so that it is possible to store different numbers of obstacle poles on it.

With obstacle stands, it is possible to build and dismantle obstacles in no time at all. If you opt for low obstacle stands, even children are able to set up and dismantle obstacles for their riding lesson themselves. You can buy obstacle pole holders either with stable feet as a double-sided transport rack or as a single-sided rack for wall mounting.

Obstacle stands are therefore always used when obstacles need to be set up or poles stored. Obstacle stands can be used very individually, as you can hang them on the wall or place them wherever you like.

What types of obstacle stands are there?

There are 4 different types of obstacle stands: the obstacle stand with feet, the obstacle stand for wall mounting, the obstacle stand with wheels and the obstacle stand as a bar rack.

The following list explains the 4 types of obstacle stands in detail.

• Obstacle stand with feet: Obstacle stands with feet can be placed anywhere and have the advantage that they stand upright on their own. Obstacle stands with feet do not need to be fixed to the wall or the ground, as the high weight of the stand itself ensures maximum stability. Obstacle stands with feet have stirrups on both sides, which is why they offer more space for jumping poles for horses. 
• Obstacle stand for wall mounting: Obstacle stands for wall mounting are space-saving as they can be attached to the wall anywhere. Wall-mounted obstacle stands are ideal for installation on the wall of the riding arena, for example. Obstacle poles are thus permanently stored in the arena and do not have to be carried for long distances. 
• Obstacle stand with wheels: Obstacle stands with wheels offer easy transport of obstacle poles from one place to another. Obstacle stands with wheels are stored in a safe place and then pushed into the riding arena or riding arena to use the poles. The storage compartments on the obstacle stand with wheels are used to store and transport obstacle pads.
• Obstacle stand as bar rack: An obstacle stand as a pole rack is a low, robust rack that can hold up to 30 obstacle poles. Due to its small size, the obstacle stand as a pole rack takes up very little space and is also suitable for easy access for small riders.

How high are obstacle stands?

Obstacle stands are between 1.20 m and 1.75 m high. The low obstacle stands with a height of 1.20 metres are suitable for storing around 20 - 30 poles and the higher ones with a height of 1.75 metres are suitable for storing around 80 - 100 poles. The height of the obstacle stands differs depending on the type of obstacle stand. 

A jump pole holder with feet has more storage space than a single-sided rack for wall mounting, as the obstacle stand with feet has brackets on both sides. Obstacle stands for wall mounting are usually smaller in size and therefore have a smaller capacity for obstacle poles. Depending on the type of obstacle stand, only one obstacle pole or up to 10 at a time can fit on one bracket.

What material are obstacle stands made of?

Obstacle stands are made of hot-dip galvanised metal or aluminium. The hot-dip galvanised metal is very robust, has a high level of stability and is not susceptible to rust due to the galvanisation. Metal obstacle stands are weatherproof, making them suitable for indoor and outdoor storage.

Obstacle stands made of aluminium, on the other hand, have a low weight and small size, which makes it easier to transport the frame. Aluminium obstacle stands are also easy to maintain and therefore durable. The material of the obstacle stand offers a high degree of flexibility, which is why some obstacle stands can be folded up. 

Depending on the design of the obstacle stand, the feet can be folded in and either hung on the wall or easily transported from one place to another. The sturdy material of the stand ensures that the obstacle poles are not damaged. 

Some obstacle stands are also available in wood. Obstacle stands made of wood are chosen if you appreciate a rustic and natural look. Wooden obstacle stands are also ideal for building yourself. To do this, screw the required number of boards together to form an obstacle stand and attach thick screws to each end to prevent the obstacle poles from rolling down.

What are the advantages of obstacle stands?

The advantages of obstacle stands are that they are versatile, space-saving and easy to assemble. In addition, obstacle stands are made of robust materials, ensure greater safety, create order and have a long service life.

The following list presents the advantages of obstacle stands.

• Versatile in use: Obstacle stands are versatile, as they are suitable for storing obstacle poles and for setting up obstacles.
• Space-saving: Obstacle stands can be stored in a space-saving manner and are easy to transport as they can be folded up. 
• Easy to assemble: Obstacle stands are easy to assemble as they allow obstacles to be set up quickly and easily.
• Made from robust materials: Obstacle stands are made of robust materials such as hot-dip galvanised steel and aluminium, which ensure high stability and weather resistance.
• Ensure safety: Obstacle stands ensure safety as they prevent obstacle poles from lying around and thus minimise the risk of injury for horse and rider
• Create orderObstacle stands create order, as they ensure a tidy training arena or riding arena.
• High durability: Obstacle stands have a long service life, as the robust construction is easy to maintain and therefore guaranteed to last a long time.
