A while back I asked on the Board for ideas on how/where to get agility equipment that I could use with my 4H club.  The used equipment idea worked out!  I got an email that my agility trainer sent out to all of her students--she knew of someone selling several pieces of used agility equipment.  I bought the set, picked it up, and with the help of my husband and kids--refinished it all this weekend.  Let the fun begin!

Before:
chute-

tire and table-

table-

a-frame-

teeter plank, dog walk, a-frame legs-

weave poles/base-


During:




After:
dog walk legs-

chute-

a-frame-

dog walk approach (on ground)-

dog walk plank (on ground)-

teeter and table-

tire-

adjustable weaves-


Fun after the hard work!

WOW!!  Amy, I can't believe the amount of work you got done!  And look at all that equipment! You have your own training field!

Now you're going to have to work out a schedule for training vs lawn mowing.  Big Grin

The tunnel came with the set.  It is under my mini-dog walk that my dad made for me last year.  I got a chute, dog walk, teeter, a-frame, 3 single jumps, table, tire, weave poles, and tunnel.  My sister will take the pieces that are duplicates: tire, table, weave poles, dog walk, and bar jumps.  Our 4H club needed the teeter and a-frame, so that was my main motivation in buying the equipment.  With the proper equipment to practice on, maybe I can compete like Kathy someday  Big Grin  I m having fun learning in the meantime!

I'll bet your dogs thought it was like Christmas with all that fun equipment in the yard!
It looks fantastic after all your hard work fixing it up. What a great find!
