I am thinking of getting Huey a tunnel, purely for fun. He has tried it before and really enjoyed it. I am finding out that they are quite expensive. It does not need to be professional grade or regulation or even new. Any suggestion of where to find an inexpensive model, maybe even a used one. Ebay turned out a few 5 foot long ones for about $30, but longer would be better since he's a pretty big boy. Thanks in advance

If you find one, please let me know where to get one! The one I'm using now is borrowed, and I can't keep it much longer.

You can also scour your hardware store for Really Big flexible drainage tubing. I don't know the technical name of it, but it is used a lot in highway construction.
You might have to go to a proper building supply company.
Or for a really cheap short term option, find a lot of boxes the right size, and tape them together. It won't last all that long, but if you keep it dry you could get a couple of months out of it.

Thanks so much for all the good advice. Sounds like there are several options to consider. Too bad we didn't think of the box idea when we had just moved in to our new house My boss gave me an idea for making one... Use hula hoops!! You'd just have to find some suitable material, and some heavy thread (he suggested carpet threat and a curved carpet needle). We figure you could sew the material into a long tube then work the hula hoops into it and stitch them into place one at a time, probably 2-3 feet apart. So there's another one to consider
