Way To Weave!

Bases are made from structural U-channel steel, powdercoated for rust resistance. The inverted U-shaped steel (only 1/2" tall and 2" wide*) is superior to flat steel or aluminum bar, which can easily bend and twist. It also has a high stability-to-weight ratio.

The space beneath the running surface is where we fit our connectors, which are made from steel bar, 2 screws per connector. With rigid connectors (included), a set of six 2x2's is almost as sturdy as a single 12-pole set ... and affordable to ship! With hinged connectors (optional), you can fold the attached units completely flat, or you can prop them up using our T-Tails.

The space beneath the running surface can also be used to attach extra weights. With 2 screws per weight, it's easy to fine-tune sets for stability or portability. Even without added weight, our sets tend to stay put, because the 'rails' of the U-channel bar concentrate the full weight of the set onto the ground. We recommend weighted options for NADAC and other venues where securing to the ground is prohibited or impractical.

Poles are made from furniture-grade, UV-stabilized PVC pipe. By contrast, plumbing-grade PVC ages faster, becomes brittle and will shatter more easily.

*AKC allows up to 3/4" height and 3-1/2" width

Safe for dogs and humans!

Careful, consistent and quality-controlled fabrication ensures that all sets are free of rough edges. Bases are finished with a non-skid additive that's part of the powdercoat protection itself. The top of the steel running surface is completely flat, except for the slim-profile rounded tops of button-head screws for (optional) connectors and weights.

PVC poles rest around the support posts. We don't use cups to hold the poles, because cups collect dirt and moisture, and poles are sometimes difficult to remove.

24" pole spacing is standard. Other spacings are available.

Plastic plugs are included for any unused stake or weight holes.

Some users may prefer our heat-shrink tubing (instead of tape) for PVC poles. Tape eventually dries up and unravels, and may catch longer coats or scratch your dogs' eyes.

Compliant, modular, versatile, unique!

AKC, USDAA, NADAC, AAC, UKI, FCI, IFCS, UKC, CPE, TDAA, ASCA etc. - our weaves meet or exceed equipment specifications! [Please check current and future specifications for the venues in which you plan to compete.]

All Competition and Training sets use the same structural U-channel steel bar for the main part of the base. All sets use the same connectors, weights, hardware and poles. See our Basic Training Combo for an affordable way to interconnect different products.

You don't have to buy one set for this and one set for that. For weaves that will support you and your dog through all phases of training and competition, let us help you choose the right options for your needs. With our all-inclusive design approach, it may be easier than you think!

2x2's are simply 2-pole units of our Competition sets (also available in 3-pole units). Put them together with our rigid connectors, and you've got a regulation set strong enough for the heaviest duty trial use.

With our multi-purpose Training sets, ALL-WAYS Weaves^TM, you can use the same set from the earliest days of Channel method (or Weave-A-Matic method, with angled poles ... or both) all the way to a set that's compliant with regulation use. Each slider (sliding pole support) is independently and infinitely adjustable.

ALL-WAYS Weaves^TM:

• DON'T have two separate bases (one for odd-numbered poles, another for even-numbered poles), making footing unnatural and awkward;

• DON'T require you to unscrew pole supports, move them to arbitrary, pre-determined widths and then re-attach them;

• DON'T have crossbars that slide across the main axis and end up of the wrong side when poles are inline;

• DO appear similar to Competition sets from the first day of training until they're inline;

• HAVE BEEN APPROVED by AKC reps and used in official AKC trails!

ALL-WAYS Weaves^TM are protected by U.S. Patent #7,819,085. Other patents are pending.

If you prefer Traditional WAMs, we've got those too!
