A stool is a seat that has no backrest . Depending on its design, it may have four or three legs .

furniture pieces

Benches are pieces of furniture . Generally their structure is made of wood and, in some cases, they have an upholstered or padded seat .

The height of the benches is also variable. High stools are typical of bars as they allow you to sit next to the bar . These bar stools usually have footrests . Although they are common in commercial establishments, they can be used at home for eating or drinking in a breakfast room or home bar.

street edge

In Mexico and Guatemala , on the other hand, the sidewalk is called a sidewalk : that is, at the edge of the street. The sidewalk is intended for pedestrian circulation and is developed somewhat elevated, thus differentiating it from the road along which vehicles advance.

Shooting benches

In the military field, a bench is a work that allows soldiers to take cover to shoot. The sidewalks are developed with earth that is piled up and linked to the embankment through a ramp. Two rows of soldiers usually sit on the sidewalk: one is carrying and the other is carrying.

Shooting stools are used to stabilize and support the firearm while the soldier fires shots. They provide a solid point of support to help reduce weapon movement and vibration, which in turn improves the shooter's accuracy and aim. They are usually compact and adjustable structures to fit the individual needs of the soldier.

They can be made of materials such as steel, aluminum or resistant polymers . These stools usually have a support platform for the weapon and an adjustment system that allows the height, angle and position of the support to be modified to adapt to different shooting situations. They are designed to provide stability and security .

Riding obstacle

If we focus on horse riding , a stool is an obstacle used in a horse show. The sidewalks are made with sod (mounds of earth covered with grass). They are structures that are placed on a jumping course so that riders and their horses can overcome them. They are also known as bars or jumps .

Stools are used to support jumping bars , providing a stable and secure base for horses to step over. They are placed at both ends of the bar and often multiple stools are used along the course to create different jump heights and configurations.

Rider and horse jumping over bar

The main function of the stool is to support the jump bars.

They are usually solid and durable structures. They can be made of wood, durable plastic or metal . Some stools are designed with an inverted “A” shape, while others may be shaped like a box or cylinder. The choice of appearance depends on the course designer's preference and the type of competition or training being held.

The height of the stools will determine the height of the jump bar. They are usually adjustable, allowing the bars to be placed at different heights to suit the skill level of the riders and horses. Adjustments are made using pins, pegs or similar mechanisms that allow the stools to be raised or lowered safely and quickly.
