How to Build a Flyball Ramp
- 1). Draw two 24-by-3 inches bars -- from now on "A" bars -- on one of the plywood sheets. Design another 56-by-3 inches bars ("B") and two 27-by-3 inches bars ("C"). Cut them out of the plywood sheet using a saw.
- 2). Make a 45-degree bevel cut on one end of the two C bars. On the other end of the bars, place the A bars, so that they form A and C bars form a right angle. Use 4-inch nails to keep the perpendicular bars together and create an L-like shape.
- 3). Make another 45-degree bevel cut on the top end of the two A bars. Place the B bar between the right angles of the two "L" shapes. Ensure the horizontal C bars face towards the same direction and use 4-inch nails to hold the right angles and the B bar's ends together.
- 4). Lay the untouched 5-by-3 feet plywood sheet on the four diagonal ends of the A and C bars. Use 3 1/4-inch nails on the four spots where the bevel cuts touch the plywood.
- 5). Apply glue near the edges of the foam board sheet and glue it on the plywood sheet. This is an additional safety measure for when your dog jumps awkwardly on the ramp.
