I want to build a set of weaves out of PVC... the style that can be leaned to either side for training, much like Weave-A-Matic weaves. Can someone please share a set of blueprints that worked for them?

Sorry, I don't have any blue prints. I have a set of Weave O Matic's but they are steel and I purchased them.
You could try joining the Clean Run email list and ask there.

I am sure you can find a blue print for everything you need there. You could also just try and study a picture of weave poles and make them that way. Or even E-bay has a great selection of PVC weaves

Honestly you just need to spend a little time googling. I got multiple plans for almost every obstacle I ever wanted, but it took some time. Cheaper though than purchasing the few books out there for building equipment. Hope this helps you on your way.
This is for 12. Use half obviously to make 6 if you want. And no glue if you want them to become offset. In time they may start to flop over if used a lot, you can swap out the Ts for new ones though.

Try out these links below. I have made my own PVC jumps, weaves and a table base so far, I've also got a plan for a teeter base as well. Good luck with building! :)

Had I known you were looking for a blue print yesterday, I could have helped... Sorry, I was too slow...
The weave-a-matic weaves are awsome! I do v-weaves (same thing) and it works GREAT! :)

I came up with my own blueprint for weaves using only PVC piping, but it's nearly identical to the link MafiaPrincess posted. They've worked well for me. The only problem I see with the instructions she posted is that they require glue. If you want to be able to lean the poles to either side, you can't glue them to the base.
