How to Build Agility Equipment

Here are some links to plans to make your own agility equipment

Agility Equipment Links <-link to lots of ready made and DIY plans

Agility Jump <-link to easy to make PVC Jump

Agility A-Frame  <-link to the plan I used for my A-Frame

Agility Teeter <-link to the plan I used for my Teeter.  It's adjustable to different heights!

Dog Agility Home - Equipment Plans <-another site with lots of links

Inexpensive PVC Fittings<-link to PlumbingSupply.com that has very good prices on fittings -- if you buy in bulk, you'll save on handling charges.

Hard To Find PVC Fittings<-link to PVCFittings.com that has some hard to find 4-way and 5-way PVC fittings.

Agility-Equipment Yahoo Group <-This is a yahoo group with plans and discussions about making agility equipment.  Also, it's a very good place to get help with your plans if you need some.

Agility Tunnel<- the only piece of agility equipment that you really can't make yourself.  I bought my tunnel from this vendor

Other Ideas:

- Pick up ideas by looking at agility equipment at an agility class, or from what is being sold online.  I designed my dog walk bases by finding a picture of one being sold online.

- Look at the rules for the specifications for agility equipment in the UKC, AKC, or NADAC rule book (can be found on the venue's websites - ie. www.akc.org, or www.ukcdogs.com )  UKC has very good directions to making some of it's more unique agility equipment.

- Find something that imitates what you are trying to train (for example, I used three chairs lined up together to practice the UKC crawl tunnel, and I used a retaining wall to practice the AKC table.)

- Do Google searches for "Dog agility plans" or "Agility teeter plans" etc.

- Check Ebay for agility equipment or pieces and parts that you might need (jump cups, tunnels, teeter or dog walk bases.)
