Watch the Cottage Coach build an epic jumping platform

Cottage Coach Adam Holman built a cedar jumping platform for his pool, but you can easily picture it living on the dock at the cottage. The frame is anchored securely with lag bolts to make sure it’s rock solid and ready for action. Beyond the build itself, the most important part is safety; whether it’s a pool, lake, or river, always check your depth and surroundings before taking the plunge. A good jump starts with good construction, but it ends with smart choices in the water.
