    Advice on building jumps?

    A friend wants to build vertical jumps for training in AKC obedience.  I guess he's less inclined to purchase the "practijumps" when he thinks he can build it himself out of pvc and plastic siding.
    Anyone else ever done this?  I told him he's got to make the right measurements on it after it's erected before drilling holes for the height markers.  Anything else he should do?  These are only intended for practice.
    Thanks all!

    I found this link when I was trying to find a way to build agility equipment. It has a section on building jumps. HTH

    I've gotten too lazy for my practijumps - I recently put industrial strength velcro on the high and bar uprights so I won't have to mess around with the wing nuts and bolts. Now if I didn't have to drag them in and out of the van. :)
