Agility Equipment?

[gremlin22]

am looking to get some really basic bits of agility kit to have a bit of fun with my dog in the garden. She's 6 yr old and loves to jump on things (she cleared a dry stone wall the other week). she's not built for agility and she'll never compete, also she's a bit hit and miss with other dogs so i can't really take her to a class or group. Have been looking on the net at what you can buy and the trixie and clicks stuff..well it looks a bit..lame? for what it costs. have seen some other bits by a small company called "max and storms place", reasonable prices and it looks a bit more solid..anyone else got any experience with any of these makes or advise on a different one to choose? i'm only after either 2 jumps and a tunnel, or a jump a tyre and a tunnel. She's not interested in toys or sticks and making the most of this keeness to jump seems like the best way to get her that extra bit of excerscise and fun she could do with.

I got a kids tunnel from Ikea, made some stuff and improvised with a hula hoop for a tyre, also got husband to make a see-saw. If you use plastic piping for weaves you can get the spikes for the bottom of the weaves poles from agility net, but check the size/diameter of the plastic. Another place was zooplus.

 

Have a wee look here, some info on making your own.
