Awesome, I’m glad to hear that! If you’re planning to keep it outside, I’d use an exterior grade paint. It will hold up better than an interior grade paint, but it won’t last forever. If it gets rained on here and there, it’s not a big deal. But if you keep it outside 24/7, you should plan to repaint it as needed.
Love the video! I have a very large dog that I think would love this! Might have to alter it to make it a tad bigger!! Thanks so much for sharing, it’s so much easier to visualize when someone else does it first!!!
Thank you so much - glad it was helpful! Yea, you'll want to make it bigger/wider for a larger dog - the wider it is, the more stable it will be. Thanks for watching!!
Hey cool video. I have a suggestion for the latch problem. Using a suitcase strap seems like it would work great. Adjustable in size and they have the buckle opening and would be fast and easy to use. That's how I keep my senior dog's foldable buggy to stay closed, got one at a dollar store!
Funny you should say that - I’m actually working on the plans right now! It will include all the dimensions and a list of everything needed. I’ll reply back to you when I have them ready 😃
Abby - so sorry, life got in my way - but I FINALLY have the build plans ready for download - www.etsy.com/listing/1309809078/diy-agility-a-frame-for-dogs-build-plans?ref=listings_manager_grid I made the plans for a slightly wider ramp but you could easily modify a few dimensions to make it slimmer if you'd like. again, really sorry it took so long to finalize these!
the colored area has to do with the touch area the dog has to touch before contueing. (they are not allowed to jump over that area) in short has to do with agility rules 😀
You didn't put screws to secure the end blocks with the hinges to the plywood deck. That would make the hinge assembly anchors stronger and resist rotation.
The painted areas are contact zones. In competition the dog has to make contact with these areas at the start and end to avoid a fault time penalty - it has nothing to do with the dog seeing it as a ramp. Also note that the A-frame should be non slip surface and anti-slip slats should not be within 15.2 cm of the start of the contact area.
thank you for this barktastic video ! my hooman is going to try making this because i wuv agility , there are a couple of videos on my channel if anypawdy would like to see a sausage doing agility x 🥰
I believe at the time it was about $85 total. But that was over a year ago before lumber prices increased. Click on the link in the video description for the project page and I should have a list/link to all the items and materials you’ll need to build this. Let me know if you have any other questions! 😃
Great instructions. I have a lot of DIY agility equipment but not an A-frame. The only thing else I have to comment on is that the background "music" was repetitive and annoying. Better to leave it out altogether.

Wow, the safest,and most eastiest a-frame for me to diy to train for competition that I’ve seen!
Awesome! I’m glad it was helpful 😃
This was a great vid! You showed me & the wife all things no to do wrong & make this a one step process.
Awesome, I’m glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!

This is very usefull, thank you! Can you also keep it in the rain? And what kind of paint do you use if you want to keep it outsite?
Awesome, I’m glad to hear that!

Great video! I wish my grass was pretty green like that 😅.
Thank you!
The grass may have been touched-up in photoshop a bit 😉😁

That's a great idea! Thanks, I'm definitely going to do that 😃
Awesome video. Beautiful Merle you have there too!
Thank you very much! 😁
How heavy would you say it is while carrying it?
I just weighed it and it was 60.5 lbs 😃
great video i just wish there was a list of exact materials list like how much of each item
Funny you should say that - I’m actually working on the plans right now! It will include all the dimensions and a list of everything needed. I’ll reply back to you when I have them ready 😃
@@DoingWhatever Awesome! thank you so much!! I can't wait to make it for my dogs. I like the smaller size of yours

How long are the peaces of wood? 12 foot
Each side is 6’ long so the entire length is 12’. Thanks for watching!
the colored area has to do with the touch area the dog has to touch before contueing. (they are not allowed to jump over that area) in short has to do with agility rules 😀
Ahh gotcha, that makes sense! Thanks for clarifying!
Aww great video🤗
Thank you!

ahh I see what you mean, good point! thanks!

Thanks for the tips!
Cool thanks for posting! We might just be making one of these! :)
Glad you enjoyed it! Yea, go for it, it’s pretty easy!
What length chain did you use on each side? Thanks
@@OpIndependence 7.5 feet long chain on each side. I cut a 15’ chain in half.

haha 😂 this was an excellent comment!
How much did you spend in total?? 😭 I want to see if it’s worth building my own

@@DoingWhatever awesome! Shouldn’t be that expensive. Thank you for the fast reply !
@@kimberlycruz5446 good luck making one! 😃
There needs to be a cap plate for the top. That's a leg injury just waiting to happen
Great idea, thank you!
@@DoingWhatever EMTs see broken bones EVERYWHERE! 🙄

I appreciate the feedback - thanks for watching!
Stfu and enjoy this beautiful masterpiece he gave us
Can you build me one and shipped to me
This would be very costly to ship lol
👍👍👍🌈

Who you calling screw eyes?
🤣
The music volume on this video it too loud. It makes it hard to hear what you are saying .

Thank you!!
My eye hooks keep breaking
Looks like a great video but CANNOT HEAR YOU. And the volume is ALL the way up. Disappointed.
I appreciate the feedback
Your hand is so damn close to the blade dude. Gives me anxiety watching you
sometimes the camera angle makes it look closer than it actually is, but I appreciate the concern 🙂
Awesome video. Beautiful Merle you have there too!
Thank you very much! 😃
