Build an Agility/Speed Ladder

Template:StubCreating a cheap alternative to high priced commercial agility or speed ladders is possible with basic items that cost around US$10.

Steps

Cut the PVC pipe. Cut into 15, 20" sections (you could go narrower or wider, based on individual preference.) These will be the rungs of the agility ladder.
Using the sandpaper or sanding block, smooth out the rough cut ends of the PVC pipe.
Begin to thread the rope. Take both ends of the rope and feed one end through each of the ends of the pipe (this will make them "cross" and help to hold the rungs in position.) Pull each end through until the entire rope has come through. You should now have a straight section of rope against the pipe and two ends of the rope coming out of different sides of the pipe.
Continue to thread the rope through the successive rungs, pulling them down to be roughly 18" away from the previous rung. Do this until you have pulled the rope through all of the rungs. Your ladder is nearly complete!
Once you have all the rungs strung into a ladder, tie off the two ends tight against the last rung using a square knot or another joining knot. If possible, tuck any extra length back into the pipe.
Enjoy!

You can adjust the rungs simply by sliding them further up or down the rope. Gaps at about 18" seem to work best.

30' of 3/4" PVC pipe or similar (this can be purchased as three 10' lengths, but whatever form is cheapest will work just as well)
100' of 1/4" nylon rope
A saw to cut the PVC down to length
A sanding block or sandpaper to cleanup the sawed-off ends
