Building a Teeter

Bert has just completed the puppy II class and has had an introduction to agility. I thought it would be fun to have some agility equipment in the backyard. I was thinking of making a teeter with a PVC base. I have seen a few different models online. Has anyone ran into any pitfalls in building the teeter? Do plumber straps work well for the pivot part or are there better things to use? My idea was to use a two pipe system, the larger pipe being drilled into the plank and the smaller pipe as the axle.

Or is wood better???? Any ideas if you were to build one?

this has been covered in a few threads and very timely cause its my project this weekend - really it is.

If you search teeter or seesaw you can find some other references. I am not sure anyone had plans for PVC base,. Kristine posted pics of a nice wooden base though (even if it is purple :) )
I did see that one, looks nice and sturdy.
I knew there were plans out there for a pvc base:

I came across that one as well but this one looked sturdier...

No actual plans but I think I could figure it out.
we're getting ready to build some pieces as well! Does anyone have links to plans for A-frames or Dog walks?

I agree it does look like you could figure it out. I am thinking I might build the wooden base - and make a top to put on it so it looks like a side table when we aren't using it since I can't leave that kind of stuff out in the yard here.
