Agility gear?

Any ideas on where to get cheap/ basic agility gear?

My grandma has a nice set that has cones with 3 holes in to make a jump - but these are £25 for 2 jumps (4 cones, 2 poles).

Surely there must be cheaper alternatives for backyard fun?

The only way cheeper I know of is to make your own (plastic plumbing pike can make alsorts if you are imaginative

Or ask agility people if they are selling their stuff off.

Afraid to say that is cheep for agility

I make a silly little play course for Tilly using canes on bricks for the jumps & a kids play tunnel (£10 from Early Learning Centre)
I got the tunnel when she was a pup & wasn't sure if she could still fit through it, but got it out today & she was straight through.
I haven't got any weaves as hub won't let me poke holes everywhere

Or look on the Fleamarket page of Agilitynet as that is where most agility folk sell their equipment.

I made a hurdle out of plumbing pipe, ended up costing around £25 certainly wasn't cheaper than buying one

I've got a flat tunnel - sown together bedsheet & dining room chair. The box his dog food came in might also make a good tunnel mouth.

Will probably get some garden cane and make weave poles...

Well, I just bought 50 bamboo canes for £5.....hopefully that'll start me off! I only have a small garden! Chaospony, thanks for that. If Jin and I really enjoy it than I may invest in some better gear in the future or maybe even a club.

We'll see!

Thanks for the help guys.

I also have childrens pop up tunnels on my watch list and want a small hula hoop- adverage sized are far too big.... Hmm!!!!
