But the dust washed right out because they don't get all squishy like regular tunnels.Cedarfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822477553207119803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-22085576793750972782009-06-03T08:38:04.982-07:002009-06-03T08:38:04.982-07:00Those tunnels sound almost perfect.

The yellow ones bend like crazy every time Tika jumps on one to get closer to a bird or squirrel. If/when I buy another one, I'll certainly want to pay more for one that'll last longer. Will have to look into debris chutes. Wonder what they call it in their catalogs?Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3730801.post-43763913265533349542009-06-03T06:38:57.356-07:002009-06-03T06:38:57.356-07:00All my equipment sits outside all year, too and it...All my equipment sits outside all year, too and it really takes a toll on it. PVC gets brittle and snaps with just the force of dragging it across the grass to a new spot, tape withers and dies on every pole, contact equipment fades. but my tunnles are in exactly the same condition as when I bought them over 10 years ago.<br /><br />My tunnels were originally a debris chute on a building site in CT. They're bright blue and have a 2" pitch. You can sit and bounce on them, they never lose their shape and will apparently never die.<br /><br />The only downside is that they're very heavy and pretty stiff so you can't bend them very well.<br /><br />And I think I paid about $200.00 for over 60 feet of the stuff.<br /><br /><br /><br />Best agility purchase I ever made.Cedarfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822477553207119803noreply@blogger.com
