# Low coop jump: DIY coop horse jump plans [View illustrated instructions](https://diyplans.org/plans/coop-jump-6014/variants/standard) [Plan and other configurations](https://diyplans.org/plans/coop-jump-6014.md) Explore the proportions of a low coop-style horse obstacle. The model shows a 10 ft long, 2 ft wide form rising to 30 in, with six internal frames and two closed faces.

Revision: 5 Status: published Difficulty: intermediate ## Before you start - Design inspiration: dimensioned visual reference and editable concept geometry, not a construction plan. - Use the files to study proportions and possible variations. A physical adaptation needs its own connection, release and installation details. - The model does not specify structural fasteners, ridge/seam connections or ground anchorage, and it has no established impact or load rating. - The illustrated panel and frame ridge edges are steep bevels. Their coordinates describe geometry; they are not instructions to exceed a saw or jig operating limit. - Actual panel stock must be measured: the 95-15/16 in main panels leave only 1/16 in total length allowance on a nominal 96 in sheet. ## Dimensions - Length: 120 in. Illustrated concept geometry; no use or load rating. - Base width: 24 in. Illustrated concept geometry; no use or load rating. - Height: 30 in. Illustrated concept geometry; no use or load rating. ## Shopping list Indicative full-stock allocation for comparing the illustrated timber concept. This is not a complete purchase order. Hardware, structural connections, coatings, ground anchorage and installation materials are outside this timber takeoff. - 5 board: Southern Pine No.2 2 x 4, 8 ft. Two 34 in leg blanks per board. UC4A because feet meet the ground. - 3 board: Southern Pine Industrial 45 1 x 6, 8 ft. Six 24 in and six 12 in tie blanks total. UC3B minimum. - 1 board: Southern Pine No.2 4 x 4, 8 ft. Two 34 in seam-leg blanks. UC4A ground contact. - 3 sheet: PS 1 Exterior plywood with decay protection specified, 3/4 in x 4 ft x 8 ft. Two main faces and two extensions. Exterior glue alone does not protect against decay. ## Materials in the model Modeled timber components in one illustrated concept; not a complete construction bill of materials. - 2 x 4: 10 installed pieces - 1 x 6 Industrial 45: 12 installed pieces - 4 x 4: 2 installed pieces - 3/4 in PS1 Exterior plywood: 4 installed pieces Not quantified: - Hardware, structural connections, coatings, ground anchorage and installation materials are outside this timber takeoff. ## Tools and equipment - FreeCAD for editing the native solid model - STEP-compatible CAD software for exchange geometry ## Instructions ### 1. Read the silhouette - Start with the 120 x 24 x 30 in outside envelope. The sloping faces create the coop shape; the internal frame is visible in the end view with the skins hidden. Check: Identify the outer envelope and the separate internal frame. ![Low coop jump front and end elevations with illustrated dimensions](https://diyplans.org/media/packages/b968b60dc2c293b7c6677f4c658b8f3b40eda46a049eeef004bd5a377e06a4d7/dimensioned-image/coop-jump-inspiration-r5-dimensions.png?brand=1) Design inspiration. Illustrated geometry; construction connections and suitability are not specified. ### 2. Look inside the frame - The illustrated frame centers are 3/4, 24, 48, 72, 96 and 119 1/4 in along the length. Five frame pairs use 2 x 4 stock; the wider seam frame uses 4 x 4 stock. These choices describe the model, without establishing strength. Check: Locate all six frames and the wider frame at 96 in. ![Low coop jump front and end elevations with illustrated dimensions](https://diyplans.org/media/packages/b968b60dc2c293b7c6677f4c658b8f3b40eda46a049eeef004bd5a377e06a4d7/dimensioned-image/coop-jump-inspiration-r5-dimensions.png?brand=1) Design inspiration. Illustrated geometry; construction connections and suitability are not specified. ### 3. Follow the panel seam - Each face combines a 95-15/16 in main panel and a 23-15/16 in extension, with a 1/8 in gap over the wider frame. The stated 32 5/16 in width is the outer sloping face. Check: The two panels and gap total 120 in on each face. ### 4. Explore variations in CAD - Try colors, face treatments or proportions in a copy of the native model. Keep the original as a dimensional reference. A size change also changes panel shapes, frame geometry and material quantities. Check: Save a separate study copy and identify every dimension changed. ## Drawings and views ![Low coop jump concept model](https://diyplans.org/media/packages/b968b60dc2c293b7c6677f4c658b8f3b40eda46a049eeef004bd5a377e06a4d7/overall-image/coop-jump-inspiration-r5-overall.png?brand=1) Design inspiration.

The dimension spreadsheet is informational and does not regenerate geometry. - The STEP export carries matching concept geometry. Missing joints, cups and anchorage are intentional omissions from this visual reference. - Save changes in a separate study file. When changing dimensions, update the related model geometry and reference quantities together.
