I imagine you could cut the PVC pipe in your sleep now. Have fun with the broad jump!

Thanks so much for your detailed instructions and photos – this should be a great help in building our Broad Jump!!! We’ve already built 8 PVC based single, double and triple bar jumps plus the tire jump so we are quite adept at cutting PVC pipe!!!

I have been pestering for both of those obstacles myself. Roger is, I think, currently working on the design (on paper) for a dogwalk. So hopefully if he gets some spare time (and some dry weather, since he has to do all this outside in the bed of his pickup truck), he will be able to put one together!

I like this design! And I like some of the alternate suggestions for it also so I am going to have a new broad jump one way or another!!!
Your site is wonderful and I wish it had been around 10 years ago when I trained my first golden! Would you pretty please design an A Frame and a Dogwalk? And while you are at it, a teeter base! Of course my husband will not like this as it will pull him off HIS tractor also! Thanks muchly and have a blessed day!

wow this site is amazing!! We have a nearly 2 year old labradoodle who is really good at jumping. I wanted to buy some agility stuff but it is so expensive so i’m gonna make it instead! thanks!!!

Thanks so much for this site. Your instructions and pictures are simply awesome. You have inspired me to think that I can do this stuff. I haven’t actually made any of your designs yet, but you inspired me to make my own tire jump. And I plan on doing a modified version of your broad jump soon. (I’m going to do the rails and pipes that go down in varying lengths so that the boards rise up at varying lengths. But I’m not going to connect them all across the bottom. I want it to be more like a traditional broad jump. I’m so excited to try this next.)
Thanks! – JJ

We appreciate any links, and we’re pleased folks are finding the site useful. Allie especially likes comments because she can then goad me to quit fiddling around with the tractor and build her some more stuff!

Thank you for the fascinating information. I’m going to try to make some of the basic equipment. I had bought some over the internet but it was incredibly expensive, so your site is a wonderful resource.
Linked to you from my own blog, hope that is okay.
