:D :D :D I made two jumps for the boys today. They came out to $17.65 each! They each have four connectors at the official heights for the AAC. If I ever get to compete with them, Kaedyn would be jumping at where the bottom bar is sitting, and Kai would be jumping at where the top one is.

I can't wait to take the jumps and weaves to the field to try them out! :D

I wish I was handy enough to make jumps! A friend of mine makes them for herself, she's probably going to make me some. MUCH cheaper than buying them!

What did you make them with? Or are they one of those Some Assembly Required deals? I would like to do agility, one day! :D

For one jump, all you need are:

-2 10 foot pieces of PVC
-10 T-joints
-6 End caps

That's it! It's a bit tricky figuring out where to cut the two 10 footers.. but aside from that, it's SO easy to make!

Oh wow, thanks! :D Hubby and I have to go to Home Depot so I will check out the prices and see if he will build it (or, at least, help. I am not very handy :( ). :D Well, when the time comes. I don't know if a Chihuahua would be very good at agility. :D

I posted what I used up above. It's all PVC that can be found at your local home depot, rona, etc. :)

That looks great! I've been meaning to make one for my pups (rather bugging my dad to make one!)

What a great job you did! They are easy and cheap to make aren't they! I used to make them when I was training in agility with my ex's husky, Mylo. I also made a few sets to sell, jumps, weaves, tables and hoops.
I'm sure I'll be making some here in the near future. :p
