Slightly annoying to put together for the first time and mine didn't have instructions in the box, but it didn't take too long and they seem like they will work perfectly for my dogs!

These are so sturdy and fold up quite nicely! Well worth it for solving our weave troubles!

I love the ease of assembling these poles and they fold up well. They're not the lightest but pretty reasonable for a 12 pole steel based set.My biggest complaint is the plugs that seal the top of the poles. Some of them fall out pretty easily. I lost one at a training facility today. The set doesn't come with any spares and I don't know where to get some more. I live in a wet environment so feel it's important to keep the poles sealed when they are outside. I thought of either taping the plugs to the poles or using an adhesive; silicone seal? I'd appreciate any suggestions.

It takes a little bit of time to get the Cool Runners set up exactly how you want them, but no more than if you had to make multiple trips to carry heavy metal bases. I *LOVE* how small the base packs down, and the fact that the product comes with carrying cases for the base and poles (and the poles each have their own elastic loops, so it keeps everything neat and tidy). The design is a great balance of portability and easy storage with a "competition feel"; I don't feel like it will be a huge change for my dog to train on these at home and competition-grade weave poles at our local training facility.

I have tried every kind of weave poles over the years and being a channel pole fan and starting a new puppy I thought these would be good to try indoors over the winter, opened wide. I set them up where the dogs go outside and "hang" by the door. Gem was totally unfazed by them so, on the next good day with no snow, I took them outside and targeted both ends. What fun! He knows how to target so, it went pretty quick and if mother nature continues her benevolence (live in the NE) I shall leave them out and if not, they are very easy to disassemble and pack away.

These poles are the perfect addition to our at home field. Very easy to set up and break down. The design is impeccably made and extremely high quality. I love the ability to make channel weaves for easy early training. They also fit nicely into individual sleeves for each pole and a separate bag for the base making them easy to travel with. You can even anchor them into the ground at each pole for safety and stability. These poles are a must for anyone looking for a great way to work on weaving.

I love these poles! What happens when you’re away at a trial & your dogs start having trouble with the weave poles? I used to cry but not anymore. These are easily transportable & quick to set up. Go somewhere off the trial grounds & set these up. I fix my dogs problems then go to my trial the next day confident that my dogs will weave correctly. What’s nice about these is that I can open & close these poles as needed to help my dogs. It doesn’t matter what problem they’re having; entry, weaving, or getting out properly. When done, everything breaks down & fits nicely inside a heavy duty duffel bag. Wouldn’t trade them for anything!

I purchased these weave pole set six months ago and thought these were nice portable weaves. However within the first few months they started rusting. Even though I took them in and out of the bag. I contacted Clean Run who contacted the manufacturer and they told me I needed to sand the rust spots and repaint them even though they are only 6 months old. I would absolutely not recommend this product.
