What's nice about these is that they break before you do should you fall on them- not a feature of, say, pressure-treated 2x lumber. They are also light, and twist flat (or disassemble) should you want to take them somewhere. As far as standards go (height?), I routinely learn and forget this several times/season
I built something very similar but I used two horizontal bars to make it sturdier. My barriers are also a little wider. This is a very cheap way to do it and makes the hurdles very mobile as well. I have two built and stick them on my shoulder and ride down to the park to practice. Below is a picture of one of the hurdles. If you build like this, you will need two elbow joints, four tee connectors, and enough PVC. Not a bad set up. Plus you can take off the top tube and practice bunnyhops.
