LUMBER and HARDWARE: All jumps are built using treated lumber, deck screws. Cavaletti are cut 4x4s bolted together with galvanized bolts through the entire X, not just on arm. This means you can tighten them up as wood dries out and shrinks.

COATINGS: Erika uses exterior stain/seal, exterior primer and exterior paint. Everything is primed and painted multiple coats with rollers and brushes, to ensure that primer is worked into the grain and that the paint is applied full thickness, not watered down for a sprayer.
