making your own agility equipment?
Does anyone know how to do this or websites that tell you what to get and/or teach you how to make it yourself
Also, any good flyball websites please?
google gives so many when you search so thought i'd ask for the best ones from you guys who probably know
THANK YOU
These two sites are pretty good for finding plans to build equipment:

Also, check with agility clubs and trainers in your area. I know in my area, some of the agility clubs/trainers have equipment building workshops where you learn how to make certain pieces of equipment (the price of the class includes all the materials as well). At the end of the workshop, you have a piece of agility equipment to take home.
Here is a link that will help you find a trainer or agility club:

If you are comfortable with carpentry, or have a friend or relative that is, you can have them make some of the equipment as well. Most good carpenters don't even need "plans" to make the simple structures of agility equipment (A-frame, dog walk).
Depending on how big your dog is, you can improvise on things as well. For example, I bought a kid's play tunnel for a fraction of the price an "agility" tunnel would cost ( http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5481440 ). Keep your eyes peeled and be creative!
Here are some sites to buy equipment if there's pieces you don't want to make (note: equipment can be expensive):
