Another tip is to create ramps rails should there be no wall to lean your quarter pipe ramp.īefore going into these steps, you can check out the process to build a skateboard ramp in small size for traveling. It might help you better understand the measuring, cutting, framing, and drilling boards later.Ī skate ramp is like a wooden box but only with one side curved inwards, sloping down and outwards. Here’s a more detailed explanation of how to make a skate ramps. Divide this portion into two 4-feet planks of wood with your pencil.Draw a line dividing the board into two parts lengthwise, with one at an 11.5-inch width.Seven 2×4 boards: Cut to 14 pieces: each one is 3 feet-10 1/2 inches. Next, draw a diagonal line at the 36.5-inch partition of the board. This line should divide the board into two equal right-angled trapezoids with upper and lower horizontal bases of 22-inch and 74-inch, respectively. You need not make measurements for the coping and steel piece since they’re in an appropriate size already. Place your 3/8-inch board on the ground and length-to-length with your 3/4-inch plywood. Partially, pin one of your 8 feet 2×4 boards on the width side of the 3/8″-inch plywood using a screw. The screw should be 2′ from the corner of the plywood and 6′ from the tip of the 2×4 board. Also, make sure the ground is flat enough to make accurate measurements. Put a pencil on the longer end of the 2×4 that touches the 3/4-inch plywood. Rotate the 2×4 like a clock’s hand as you leave a concave line that almost goes with the diagonal line on the 3/4-inch board. Note that it’s the 11.5-inch portion of the 3/4-inch board adjacent to the 3/8-inch plywood when plotting the two boards down. Step 3: Cut the boards and plywoodīefore doing this step, always remember to protect yourself from cuts and injuries. Begin to cut on the lines you made on your wood components. Be sure to use sharp saws to leave smooth edges. With the two trapezoid boards, cut a 1.625″ right angle at the corner between the upper base and the curve for the coping. Lastly, snap the lower endpoint of the arch, and leave enough height from the bottom side of the board to cover the tip of the 2×4 board.įor easier understanding, let’s visualize the boards in trapezoid shape still after the arch cut. Begin by mirroring your trapezoid boards at a distance equal to the length of your 2×4 boards. Have someone support you as you drill the ends of your 2×4 on the lower tip of your boards’ curves. The broad surfaces should face down and up. Next, put another 2×4 on the bottom and upper right-angled corners of the plywood. All ramps are built to order and are usually installed at your convenience between 7-14 days from the purchase date.This time, the narrow side faces vertically. We add £40 for every extra 50 miles outside of Oxford to cover time and fuel. Search for safety rails and add the product before checking out.Ĭovers: Tarpaulin can be provided which keeps the surface of the ramp dry and ready to skate.Įxtensions: Extensions are usually a higher section on the ramp to make the ramp more dynamic.ĭelivery: FREE delivery within 50 miles of Oxford. Safety rails: You can add safety rails to one or both sides of your ramp. Please add as a separate item in the shopping basket. Other options: Back panel covers: We can also cover the back of the ramps so that you do not see the inside of the ramp. If you require the ramp to be built over obstacles or uneven surfaces we can offer advice and quote for any custom foundation work. If you require a shorter ramp, we can reduce the length to a minimum of 15ft long.įoundations: The foundation platform we provide is suitable for indoor space, flat hardstanding and flat grass surfaces. Choose your option when ordering.ĭimensions: Standard Length 589cm (19.3ft), Height 60cm (2ft), Width (choose below). Outdoor ramps are painted with 5 year weatherproof paint or wood preserver (for a natural finish). For indoor use we recommend natural birch (unpainted). 18mm thick structural plywood is used for the sides, or upgrade to birch throughout plywood sides.įinish and colour: Choose your preferred colour when ordering. Materials: We use top grade birch throughout plywood for the platforms and skate surface (Transition).
