Built a spring pole tonight when I got home from work. The dogs love it so far. Here's some pics. I'll post some better ones in the morning. And some updated pictures of bambino de la Cocha.

I have the springs, just didn't have time to put them on tonight. I got garage springs. I'll but em on tomorrow. I wish I would have gotten the 10 foot poles. Didn't realize I was going to put 2 foot in the ground. But it will work for now. But yea he sure is easy on the eyes lol. But he loves to get my blood pressure up.

Nice! Bambino is growing like a weed, he looks good.
Just remember, especially once you add the spring...make sure it's low enough that your dog's back two feet can touch the ground at all times. There alot of folks that have 'em set high to where the dog can swing with all feet off the ground, and that can be potentially dangerous for the dog. There have been dogs known to have fallen while mid air and seriously injuring themselves, even breaking their back. Just wanted to make that notation for anyone else who may be thinking of setting one up as well.

My dogs are 85 and 97lbs and they can't stretch it out, best toy in the yard, lol
