Pole vault standards are built to last—but like any piece of equipment, they need attention along the way.

In this Gill1918 Project episode, Mike Cunningham breaks down nine of the most common pole vault standard maintenance problems coaches and facility managers may encounter.

🔧 Stiff or difficult adjustment mechanisms
📏 Worn, damaged, or hard-to-read measurement scales
🛞 Wheel and mobility issues
🔩 Loose, missing, or worn hardware
🌧️ Weather exposure, corrosion, and storage concerns
🛠️ When a small repair can prevent a larger issue

A few routine checks can help keep standards operating smoothly, protect the investment your program has made, and avoid unnecessary meet-day frustration.
