Building Agility Jumps (and Weaves)

I thought I'd share this - Benson has put up a "how-to" on her blog for building agility jumps. We built 5 jumps for her, to go with the homemade weave poles from last year.

We saved quite a bit over buying them ready-made. In all truth, we could have saved more if we had made our own jump cups (though that looked like a bit of a pain in the ****, honestly). We also wound up ordering 4-way connectors for the bottom. Each 4-way was only about 30 cents more than the two t-joints we would have used in its place, but the shipping charge was pretty high. I'd look for a different supplier if I did it again, just because of the shipping.

Of course, Benson loves them! Part of her daily walks now include a quick jump whenever we get near the agility field.

Thank you Benson for the instructions. I hope my mom doesn't get ideas. I wonder if a little sand in the upright post would help against wind blow over? It would be needed here, but I don't go outside when it's windy or wet.

If your dad hadn't glued the bases together, tiny screws can used to hold the verticals them then unscrew for storage, but I suspect it will take only deep snow to keep you out of your new toys.

Love your yard. We've been having RAIN!! :x I am unhappy because my feet get wet so I hold my "needs" far longer than I should. On the good side, the grass, er weeds, feel so good on my feet.
