Obstacle stands for obstacle poles are known by several names. An obstacle stand is either a frame for the safe storage of obstacle poles or a support for poles for the safe standing of obstacles in show jumping. In show jumping, the poles are placed on the stand.

After show jumping, the obstacle poles are placed on the other stand as a storage system when the poles are not needed. Obstacle stands are available in different types, heights and materials and are a useful storage option for show jumpers. 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 horse shows or in everyday jumping training and riding lessons. It is possible to place many obstacle poles on obstacle stands. Obstacle stands make it possible to set up 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. Obstacle stands are 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 are the advantages of stands for obstacle poles?

The advantages of obstacle bar stands are that they are versatile, space-saving and easy to assemble. Stands for obstacle poles made of robust materials ensure greater safety, create order and are highly durable.

All the advantages of stands for obstacle poles are presented in detail in the list below.

• Versatile in use: Stands for obstacle poles are versatile, as they are suitable both for storing obstacle poles and for setting up obstacles.
• Space-saving: Stands for obstacle poles are space-saving to store as they are either mounted on the wall in the indoor arena or stored in a free space in the barn. 
• Easy to assemble: Stands for obstacle poles are easy to assemble, as most brackets simply need to be folded apart quickly and easily. It is not necessary to screw the individual parts together.
• Made from robust materials: Stands for obstacle poles are made of robust materials such as hot-dip galvanised steel or aluminium, which ensure high stability and weather resistance.
• Ensure safety: Stands for obstacle poles ensure safety as they prevent obstacle poles from lying around and thus minimise the risk of injury for horse and rider.
• Create order: Stands for obstacle poles create more order in the stable, as they ensure a tidy training area and a tidy riding arena without obstacle poles lying around.
• High durability: Stands for obstacle poles have a long service life, as the robust construction is easy to maintain and therefore has a long service life if properly maintained.

What types of stands are available for obstacle poles?

There are different types of stands for obstacle poles, such as the stand with feet and the stand for wall mounting. In addition to the bar rack with a fixed stand and the holder for the wall, there are also stands for obstacle bars with wheels and a holder as a bar rack.

The 4 types of stands for obstacle poles are detailed in the following list.

• Stand with feet: 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 floor, as the high weight of the stand ensures maximum stability. Obstacle stands with feet have brackets on both sides, which is why they offer more space for jumping poles.
• Stand for wall mounting: Wall-mounted stands save space as they can be attached to the wall in any location. Wall-mounted obstacle stands are ideal for installation on the wall of the riding arena, for example. Obstacle poles are permanently stored in the arena with wall-mounted stands and do not have to be carried over long distances. 
• Stand with wheels: Stands with wheels offer an easy way to transport 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. Storage compartments on the stand with wheels allow for the storage and transport of obstacle pads.
• Uprights as bar shelves: A pole rack stand 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 many obstacle poles fit on obstacle stands?

Obstacle stands can hold between 20 and 100 poles. Low obstacle stands with a height of 1.20 m are suitable for storing around 20 to 30 poles and the higher ones with a height of 1.75 m are suitable for storing around 80 to 100 poles. The space for the obstacle poles varies depending on the type of obstacle stand.

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

What material are obstacle stands made of?

Obstacle stands are made of plastic, wood, hot-dip galvanised steel or aluminium. Plastic stands are weather-resistant, do not splinter and are easy to clean. A wooden holder is very stable and resistant. Stands made of hot-dip galvanised steel are robust and not susceptible to rust due to the galvanisation.

Obstacle stands made of aluminium have a low weight and small size, which makes it easier to transport the frame. Metal and plastic obstacle stands are suitable for indoor and outdoor storage. The material of many obstacle stands offers a high degree of flexibility, which is why some stands are collapsible.

The wooden obstacle stands are also ideal for building yourself. For the self-built stand for obstacle poles, screw the required number of boards together to form an obstacle stand and fasten thick screws at the ends at a slight angle so that the obstacle poles do not roll down.
