Tools needed: Table saw or a Skill saw, Jig Saw, Drill, Drill bits, Sander or sand paper.
When purchasing the plywood from the lumber store, ask them to make
two (2) - 32" cuts for you on ther cross cut saw (if they have one).
You want three 32"x48" peices of plywood. This makes it easier to transport and to work with.
To make sure all the uprights are uniform, make a card board tracer with the
appropriate dimensions.
Sand and paint. The 7" base boards and slats must be painted white as per NAFA regulations. Exterior oil base paint is recommended.
If Jump heights higher than 12" are needed you will need to cut out another
4-4" or 8-2" slats from an extra piece of 1/2" plywood.
You may also purchase some pre cut Sintra slats as well.
Please note: Sintra slats are recommended for the tops of the jumps to avoid injury to the dog.
