Whats the best way to create a A Frame? Weeve Poles? See-saw and Shoot?
Answers:
-You can make weave poles by getting those sports cones
like these:

and then put a broom through the hole at the top.
-For a tunnel, just get one of those kid's tunnels at Wal-Mart or somewhere
-For a Chute, find a plastic barrel (like this:)

and cut out the top and bottom of it. Then, just take a sheet or something and wrap it around one end.
-For jumps, take two chairs, buckets, boxes,etc. and lay a broom across them.
-For the rest table, use a baby pool and rest a large piece of wood over the opening.
I personally would not try to make my own dog walk (bridge), see-saw or a frame. It would not be sturdy enough and I would be afraid it would collapse. If you know any carpenters/handimen that would be willing to make one, I'm sure they could. Good Luck!

www.CleanRun.com is a website which has plans for building some of those obstacles. I also have found some on EBay that are reasonable.
Weave poles - PVC pipe
Tunnel/Shoot - child's play tunnel from Toys'R'Us with/without a sheet attached to cover one end
Afame %26 See-saw - These are a bit harder: If you don't want to buy them (I know they are $$$!), you can find plans for these online to make them, or have an experienced carpenter make them for you if you are uncomfortable doing it yourself. (Make sure these are study, so the dog does not fall off and get injured!)
I purchased my equipment from eBay .It was less expensive than buying the materials and making the obstacles myself
