All A-frames are constructed using aluminium. Each section is formed from one piece aluminium for strength, durability and reduced weight.
Aluminium ribs are then added to further strengthen the section and a large single pin hinge is welded into position which allows for the A-Frame to be split into two sections to reduce the weight while moving and for ease of both assembly and disassembly.
If required, the A-frame can be made height adjustable to suit your requirements.
The surface is coated with rubber granuals and if required rubber slats with rounded edges for safety are utilised. A full range of colours are available to match your club logo, or if for personal use, colours can be mixed and matched to suit your desire.
Designed to meet ANKC standards.
The A-Frame shown is adjustable height ANKC standard. For increased safety, the ramp-over above the hinge is designed to reduce the chance of injury to paws and claws being caught while negotiating the obstacle.
Image differs from new A-frame construction - wood deck no longer used.
