What are your experiences/recommendations? I'm not keen on the idea of slapping on even marine grade plywood without sealant. For that, I might as well offer a kidney to the skate gods. However, 15+ years ago, we built mostly with skatelite. (EDIT: I've got a quote in with Ramp Armor, but am not 100% clear on their cost + shipping.) Masonite is more readily available, and probably won't be a bad starter surface for the boys. Trouble is, it might also put me over budget. SKATE SURFACE Ramp Armor has a pretty compelling product, and from what I've read, reasonably decent prices per 4x8 sheet.
I would like to know if these plans are well designed enough to modify for my design idea. This seems fairly complete in terms of a build-guide and materials list: albeit an overall different project than I'm discussing. Does anyone know of any resources available here? MATERIALS LIST I understand that some of this will be unique to the project I build, but I feel like I'm totally reinventing the wheel by drafting these myself, PLUS, I don't want to overlook any realistic costs for a complete project. (Similar to a pier and beam home.) (Foundation Example: )

This should work fine (to get the basic idea across) for the 4ft areas: However, it would be best if I had something in imperial (standard US measurements, showing how to take the radius in the first place.)įOUNDATION Our back yard is already perfectly leveled, but due to the moisture our ground sees, I'd like to build this on blocks or a concrete footer foundation. TRANSITION GUIDE Googling around, I've found several transitions that look worthwhile, but there seems to be nothing available for a roll-in. Our plans are to build something similar to with a single 3 foot roll-in section for the tiniest human in our tribe. (We're a budget-minded family, so I need to consult my better half so she's fully on-board with the project.) PLANS I've looked around and can't seem to find any decent 4' tall x 12' wide plans or materials lists. To that end, I'm here to consult the Reddit hive-mind for advice. There are already quite a few DIY project logs, build guides, instructables out there - though none seem to be completely detailed.
Each of them is reasonably comfortable hitting smaller flatbanks, and my 9 year old is already trying to drop-in and hit small (3 foot) hips. In the day and age of video games (I work in IT, so it comes to them naturally), rather than immediately throwing them to the wolves and risking injury or boredom at our local skatepark due to our local skatepark's design (TONS of landscaping rocks everywhere, a terrible flow to the park, and a bad location) - I'd much rather help boost their progression by building a mini ramp in our backyard. My kids (3 boys ranging 3-12years) are starting to show a ton of interest in shredding.

Don't just leave your ramp out in the weather, and then expect it not to warp and get weak.īuilding your own 3' Quarter Pipe is easy, won't take too much time, and should cost you less than a hundred bucks when you're all through.I work from home, am self-employed, and am (for now) a full time student, so naturally - my time is in very short supply. This one is pretty obvious, especially if it rains. Did you know that paint does more than just look nice - it protects surfaces. Also, as you cut it, don't breathe in the sawdust - the chemicals they treat the wood with is harsh. This will help it last longer, but it will cost more to buy.
