Steeplechase Equipment

The Gill 6' Training Barrier is the practical solution for programs that need steeplechase-specific training without the space, cost, or logistics of full-width competition barriers. At 6' wide, it fits comfortably on standard training tracks and indoor facilities while delivering the same beam construction and height adjustment system used in Gill's competition-certified full-width barriers — giving athletes the authentic barrier feel they need to develop proper steeplechase technique and water jump approach mechanics.

• • 5" x 5" Aluminum Beam with Synthetic Track Surface — The barrier beam is constructed from 5" x 5" square aluminum tubing wrapped in synthetic track material, matching the exact beam dimensions and surface texture of full competition steeplechase barriers — giving athletes the authentic footing feel for lead-leg plant and clearance technique that's critical for proper steeplechase form development
  • Three-Height Pull-Pin Adjustment — Base legs adjust to official competition heights of 30" (women's), 33" (intermediate), and 36" (men's) using a simple pull-pin mechanism that allows height changes in seconds without tools — making it fast to configure for different athlete groups and training scenarios during practice sessions
  • Same Materials as Competition Barriers — Built using identical materials and construction methods as Gill's full NCAA and World Athletics-certified competition steeplechase barriers, ensuring athletes train on the same beam feel, surface texture, and height geometry they will encounter during sanctioned meets
  • 6' Width for Training Environments — Compact 6-foot width fits standard training lanes, indoor facilities, and practice track configurations where full 16'5" competition barriers would be impractical — ideal for technique drills, approach work, and barrier clearance repetitions without requiring a dedicated steeplechase pit setup
  • Powder-Coated Durable Finish — Heavy-duty powder coat finish protects the aluminum base legs and frame hardware against rust, surface corrosion, and outdoor weathering through years of training use in all seasonal conditions without requiring refinishing or touch-up maintenance
  • Sold Individually — Wheel Insert Kit Available Separately — Barriers are sold as individual units for flexible quantity purchasing; optional wheel insert kits (74014050) are available separately to add foot-engaged drop-down wheels for easier repositioning between drill sets during practice

The Gill Steeplechase Barriers (Set of 4) equip a course with the sturdy, regulation hurdles distance runners clear throughout the steeplechase. Built with 5" x 5" square aluminum beams wrapped in synthetic track material, these barriers combine the immovable stability the event demands with corrosion-resistant, weatherproof construction. A pull-pin design on the base legs makes height adjustment fast, so one set covers multiple competition levels.

Key features & specs:

• 5" x 5" square aluminum barrier beam wrapped in synthetic track material
• Base legs with pull-pin design for quick height changes
• Adjustable to three heights: 30", 33", and 36"
• Powder-coated for a durable, weather-resistant finish
• Meets NCAA specifications and is World Athletics certified
• Sold as a set of 4

Coach's tip: Set every barrier to the same height for the race distance and confirm the pins are locked before competition. Store the barriers under cover between seasons to protect the synthetic surface and preserve the powder-coat finish.

The Gill Steeplechase Water Jump Barrier provides the immovable hurdle that defines the water jump on a regulation steeplechase course. A pull-pin design makes height changes quick and simple, and the beam is finished with synthetic track material to match the running surface. This version includes ground sleeves for permanent in-ground installation and is compatible with Gill's F610 water jump form, giving programs a durable, certified-quality water jump barrier.

Key features & specs:

• Barrier beam is 4" x 4" square steel tubing wrapped in synthetic track material
• Pull-pin design for fast, tool-free height changes
• Adjustable to three heights: 30", 33", and 36"
• Welded gusset adds strength and support to the beam
• Includes ground sleeves for in-ground install; compatible with the F610 water jump form
• Meets NFHS, NCAA, and World Athletics specifications; 5-year limited warranty

Coach's tip: Set both ends to the same height before competition and confirm the pins are fully seated. Aluminum or mesh barrier seals are sold separately; keep the sleeves clear of debris so the barrier drops in cleanly each season.
