Competition Tunnels

How heavy are the competition tunnels?

10, 15, and 20 feet Competition Tunnels with 4" coil spacing, weigh 34 lbs, 43 lbs, and 55 lbs respectively.

What does the 4 inch spacing/pitch mean?

This is the space between the coils. The closer they are, the more coils and weight there is to the tunnel, therefore making it sturdier. Our Competition tunnels all have 4 inch spacing, making them acceptable to use in Agility Trials such as AKC and USDAA.

Which color should I get?

The lighter the color, the brighter it is inside for the dog to see while running through, and perhaps the visibility of the tunnel itself on the course. Or you can challenge your dog with a darker color, which might be a good idea in case a trail has a dark tunnel. All of our Competition Tunnels have black stripes on the coils which also helps the dog to see it.

Which length should I get?

All lengths are acceptable for trial use, though 15 foot is the most common. 20 foot is the runner up after that, and 10 foot is the minimum length for trial use. 10 foot may be more manageable for home practice.

How do I keep the tunnel from rolling in the wind, or after my dog runs through it?

Cradle-style Braces can be used to secure your tunnel and are easy to move around. Though for best holding power, check out the SaddleBags or even the Pro-Series Saddlebags.
