Here's how to make an agility ladder out of rope and some pvc pipe.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
The first thing you will need to do is head out to your local home improvement store to pick up your supplies. Agility ladders are incredibly cheap and easy to make at home because of their simplicity. All you will need is some rope and some pipe for the rungs. Here we will go through the specifications for a 10' ladder but you can change anything you want to make the ladder to your needs.
Step2
For a 10' ladder you will need:
40' of rope to the thickness of your liking
11' 1/2-1" diameter pvc pipe

Once you have your supplies you need to cut your rope and pipe as such:
2 - 10' pieces of rope
11 - 1 ½' pieces of rope
11 - 1' sections of pipe
Step3
Next you need to measure every 1' down each 10' piece of rope and make a mark with a permanent marker. Once you have your marks you simply start at one end and work toward the other, tying the 1' section of rope to one mark, threading the pipe onto the section and then tying the other end to the mark on the other 10' piece of rope.
Step4
One final tip is to pick up a piece of Velcro used to tie cables together. Attach the Velcro tie to one of the end rungs so you can easily wrap up and store your ladder.

on 12/21/2007 I never thought of doing it that way. I bet the PVC would hold up for years.
