A-frame Height - Page 1

Having trouble finding this info: what is the regulation height for the A-frame in schutzhund/IPO? One site I found said 71 inches, but that translates as 1.8 m. which seems a bit odd. Isn't it supposed to be 2 m.?

Length: 191cm=75"

Width: 150cm=59"

I think the info is on the UScA Web-site...

From GSSCC site, official trial rules, page 25:

1.8-METRE SCALING WALL 

1.3-metre base 

The dimensions of the two sides of the scaling wall are 1.91 metres long by 1.5 metres wide. The wall shall be 

constructed of sturdy materials and reinforced to make it rigid. 

The scaling wall must be covered with non-skid material. Three cleats 24 mm x 48 mm on each side, that

extend the width of the wall, shall be located approximately 25, 55, and 85 centimetres from the top edge. 

The scaling wall is the same for all degrees. 

At the beginning of obedience, the equipment, as specified by the trial rules, is to be checked.

If you're building one for training, not trialing, it easy to make one from two full sheets of plywood. Wide horse stall hinges and enough 2+4 s to make the plywood ridged is all you need. A piece of carpet and a two inch 4 ft PVC pipe for the top. 1+2 slats cut to length and screwed on for traction works.
