Gill Steeplechase Water Jump Cover; Recessed

The Gill Recessed Steeplechase Water Jump Cover lets your facility reclaim the water jump pit as usable, safe surface when the steeplechase isn't in session. Built from heavy aluminum planking framed in rugged aluminum angle, the cover panels bridge the water jump so athletes, crews, and other events can move safely across the area — then lift out cleanly when it's time to run the steeple. The recessed design sits flush with the track surface for a seamless, trip-free transition.

Key features & specs

• Each panel made from 9.5" x 1.75" x .125" aluminum planking
• Framed with heavy-duty aluminum angle for structural rigidity
• Four flush-mount handles per panel for safe, easy lifting and placement
• Recessed design engineered for a 0.5" (12mm) track surface for a flush fit
• Understructure supported with 4" x 2" aluminum beams

Coach's tip: Use the flush-mount handles and a two-person lift to seat and remove panels safely — the aluminum construction is durable but the panels are best handled in pairs. Care: Rinse off grit, dry before storing, and keep the beam understructure clear of debris so panels seat flush every time.
