For a set of 6 pole weaves you need 3 10 foot pieces of 3/4" PVC and 8 3/4" slip T connectors. (cost is about $15)
Cut 2 2" pieces.
Cut 6 36" pieces.
Cut 4 10"-12" pieces.
Cut 5 20" pieces.
Assemble by placing 2 of the 10--12" pieces in the bar portion of the T so they are opposite each other. Insert the 2" piece into the remaing spot, the "leg". Place the bar of another T on the end of the 2" piece so that the "leg" of the T is up in the air. Place a 20" piece into the other side of the "bar" and a 36" piece into the "leg" which is in the air. Repeat this until you are out of 20" and 36" pieces. Place the remaining 2" piece into the open "bar" of the last T. Place the "leg" of your last T over this 2" piece and then insert your remaining two 10-12" pieces into the open "bar" spots of that T. You now have a set of WAM weave poles.

For a jump. Go to CleanRun.com and order 2 1" 4 way connectors and 1 set of PVC Jump Cup Strips. Will cost you about $25. Buy from a hardware store, 2 10 foot pieces of 1" PVC. (cost is about $6) Cut 4 10" pieces, 2 36" pieces and 2 48" piece.
Insert 2 of the 10" pieces into the "bar" of the 4-way. Insert one of your 48" pieces into the leg of the 4-way that will be on the ground. Insert 1 36" piece into the remaining "leg" so that it stands straight up in the air. Attach the other 4-way connector onto the end of your 48" piece that is on the ground. Insert the 2 10" pieces into the "bar" of the 4-way and the 36" piece into the last "leg" of the connector so it sticks up into the air. Attach the jump cup strip per the instructions on the packaging. Use your remaining 48" piece of PVC as your jump bar.
Note: For inside use or for smaller dogs, cut your 2 48" pieces down to 36" to make a smaller width jump.
I've done the whole, cut PVC T's in half to use as jump cups and the jump cup strips are TOTALLY worth the cost in ease and less hassle.
