springpole and A frame help

[bobslurchers]

As above i now have a garden to call my own so am thinking of making the dogs some bits and bobs.

Springpole
Im looking for something i can connect to the wall with minumum dammage, would the hangers for punchbags work?
Or would a old swing frame thing be more practical - where would i find one? ive looked on ebay but all the ones are new near me?
Ive heard of some people using an inner tube - would this be ok to see if they would use it? As dont really wanna buy a spring only to find out the little buggers are scared of it or something!

A frame
I can locate cheap carpet, my problem is the timber side of things. Where do you get the big bits of wood from or cut ( i have very few tools and if i do it it will look like the dogs chewed it!) what sizes of timber do you need? Can you make one that folds up?

I have made some progress on the springpole now. I have got two ex-trampoline springs from mitch at ACES and attached them to the hanging basket thing with a toy on the end and they both have had a small play with them. The hanging basket thing fell off but i was still holding the toy and string too so didnt scare the dogs luckily. Im now looking at getting the things you hang punchbags on hoping its more sturdy.

Also i remember someone had some cow hyde for sale at some point, does anyone remember who? As im looking to get something the dogs will be tempted by but is ok outdoors and dog proof (OH cant be tempted with something that looks like its been alive).

Springpole now sorted out ust need to find a suitable toy they all like.

I have secured an advertising A frame so will get some carpet, may not be the exact right size but at least they can practice.
