Weaves?

Bess is really doing well in her agility class. She can do a small course off lead no problem.
I have just ordered a set of 12 weaves from agility warehouse, but i'm not sure what the set distance is between them. I'm going to start with them open and encourage her to run through then slowly close them.
Does anybody know the distance between each pole?
Thanks in advance

I think it's 20 inches, but I may be wrong, did you buy the poles that stick in the ground, or the training poles that move out sideways, if you bought the latter, they will already be spaced out

Jules - I bought a weave spacer off ebay - fantastic buy - and now my weaves are always even LOL - makes such a different not having such wonky weaves now!

These are the ones i've ordered. The webbed spacer is fantastic. I shall log onto my ebay account and buy one.
Thanks for your help guys

Found that as well, just in case you couldn't find something cheaper on ebay.

its 18 inches isn't it?

The current [ KC ] rules state :

"They should be a minimum of 457mm (1ft 6ins) and a maximum of 609mm (2ft) apart between the poles. "

I did hear a whisper that a proposal will be put forward to streamline all KC competition weaves to the same distance apart, something I hope goes through as it can really put dogs off to train at one commonly used distance, [ getting a consistant stride and pace ], then face a different distance in one ring at a competition - I`ve seen a lot of dogs completely thrown throughout a weekends competition because a set of poles in one ring was very different to `the norm` [ most are 20" I believe ] including all the other more `average` sets in all the other rings at the one show.

Thanks for all your replys again. I have ordered a webbed spacer off ebay.
Just looking forward for them to arrive now

i didnt know the spaces but i just give millie quite abig gap in between them to give her a good start

we use blue poles that we got rfom the netting when we camped - were going camping next year (OMGLOL) so we use them again then
