As of January 1, 2004 the EPA has halted production of the CCA (chromated copper arsenate) pressure treated lumber (which is the main type we've always used). The industry has replaced it with a much safer copper based chemical called ACQ (alkaline copper quat). This new ACQ pressure treated lumber costs between 15% to 35% more than the old CCA lumber.  We also had to upgrade the hardware we use to assemble our jumps to either stainless steel or triple galvanized, which is necessary to avoid corrosion.  This is also at a substantial price increase.  Unfortunately, Jumps4horses price increases are a reflection of the new material costs.
