If you aren't handy or don't want to build your own equipment there are many companies offering high quality agility equipment at a reasonable price. For all the time and money you can spend building your own agility equipment you might be better off getting pre-made agility equipment. Especially if you are like me and aren't the handy type.

Free Agility Plans and Resources to Help You Build Your Own Agility Equipment

However, if you are even a little bit handy, building your own agility equipment is easy with these free agility equipment plans. This can be an inexpensive way to get started in the sport of dog agility training. Many of these plans use PVC piping which is relatively cheap and easy to work with.

Helix Fairweather's site has a great free agility plans page that features a ladder, training barriers, pause table, play tunnel, jump, buja board and a weave pole base. You can't get much less expensive than these cheap and dirty jumps.

Camp Bandy Pet Resort features free agility plans for a solo standard jump (two separate free-standing standards) and an agility bar jump (with bottom bar connecting the standards) as well as a tire jump, free-standing lattice wings and wing jumps.

Also, check out an article this site, Starting Dog Agility: DIY Dog Agility Equipment by Kate Suchodolski. In it, Kate discusses making your own dog agility equipment out of simple things you can find in and around your house. This is the second article from Kate who, at the time of writing, was a "Junior Writer" (under 16 years old) for the site. You can find Kate's other article Starting Agility Training With Your Aussie here.

Hopefully these free agility plans will give you some ideas on how to get started with building your own agility training obstacles.
