Make your own agility equipment (long jump)

So part two (I'm enjoying this), yet again very simple. The long jump I have made is for a small dog and conforms as best I can with my sawing abilities to KC regs with a length of approx 50cm.
You take your two poles from your hurdle and make another one of the same dimensions (114cm long with a 100cm piece of lagging). You need 10 90 degree angles and 2 t ones.
You need to saw yourself the following lengths of pipe. 4x 20.7cm, 2 x 6.7cm, 2 x 11.8cm and 2 x 16.9cm.
Take a 90 degree fitting and place it on one end of a 20.7cm pole, attach a t fitting long ways to the other end of that pole and fit another 20.7cm pole onto the other end. You then place a 90 degree fitting at the end of that. You will then have a 90 degree bend, pole, t fitting, pole and 90 degree bend in a straight line with all the holes pointing up.
Repear with the other bits so you have two identical pieces.
Place the 6.7cm poles in one of the 90 degree bends, the hole in the middle fit a 11.8cm pole and the 16.9cm pole goes on the other end. Repeat with other side.
Fit 90 degree fittings to the tops of these poles and fit the bars lengthways. Voila! a long jump for small dogs.



My model this time is Wilson. If you are worried about having a static pole then cut down the tops of the 90 degree bends to form a cup so they can be easily dislodged. I prefer mine static and these units are so lightweight that your dog probably has a greater impact throwing itself on the sofa than these but the choice is there for you!
Becky (having fun!!)

You're on a roll now ain't you girl

Excellant idea though I must admit to just using the logs in the forest to keep them entertained.

I'm waiting for the A frame made out of cornflake packets and double sided sticky tape

Great idea though.

...what, you mean you don't have at least 2 doors in your house that you never close anyway?
