i didnt intend to spend as much money as i did, it just kind of happened. I got in WAY WAY WAY over my head on this project. Also looks like it took a lot of work to get where u are at and a whole bunch of money. That ramps looks like it could last well like forever.

i guess soft masonite isnt something that the lumber yard keeps in stock.
#Mini ramp flat bottom length install#
once thats done, ill install that and it will be pretty much good to go. my buddy is coming over tomorrow to weld the coping together (connecting a 21' piece to a 5' piece to make a 24' piece and do that twice once for each side).

the transition looks so mellow, but it really give you a lot of speed when you drop in. theres no coping and no deck, but i dropped in once and did a couple kick turns just to get the feel for it. finished framing the decks and am waiting for the concrete to setup on the foundations for the piers before i put in the permanent 4x4s for the deck. finished all the plywood, got both layers completely put on. Made progress today (no pics till morning). I hope so, ive got big plans to add bowl corners and a vert wall to it next year. Overview of entire ramp project from left hillside road: that beam is just temporary, its going to be replaced with a cinder block column filled with concrete. Youll notice the ghetto support under the middle transition, thats because an 8" form was used instead of a 10" one like all the others and it wasnt wide enough for the transition to sit on more than about 1/8" of it.
#Mini ramp flat bottom length full#
View of full framed (high side) transition taken from opposite side: ^^^ it gets too hot here for metal, you would fry like an egg if you fell on it! there is this 12' wide metal spine-pipe that i sometimes skate and its just so narrow and hard to really bust fat grinds on.ītw, if anybody wants to buy a 1940-something willys truck thats like half-restored, hit me up :) ive got 2 of them (one assembled, one in pieces) finished all the foundation pilars and started the framing of the flat section.Ģ4' wide is going to make it insanely fun. the ramp will be level of course, just one side will be higher off the ground than the other. Yeah, one side is more or less level with the ground and the other is about 3.5' off the ground so the deck of that side will be at about 8' off the ground. So is this ramp going to be elevated as high as the cement pillars? it kind of sucks, im going to get a case of bug spray to keep next to the ramp. The only thing that sucks more than the slope is the amount of mosquitos. the concrete blocks will just have the beams laying flat across them, they wont be anchored to the supports except in the corners and the high spots.ĭug down about 6" and rebar added for extra strength and then filled with concrete. also for the larger columns you can see in the other pics that i used those round form tubes filled with concrete and they have backets mounted in them to hold the wood beams. damn slope.Ĭoncrete blocks filled with concrete on concrete footings. the 4' drop from one side of the site to the other turned out to be a real ***** to deal with. there were a few sheets of 1/2" on backorder and the masonite is on backorder too, should be here sometime next week.Īlso some pics of the foundation work. it took about 3 full days to cut all the wood frame members (ill post a pic of that tomorrow too, my camera is giving me grief today for some reason). there is 4' drop from one side to the other so i had to dig out some foundations and put in some concrete colums for supports (ill post pics of that tomorrow).Īll the wood for the transitions has been pre-cut already and all the 2圆 and 2x4 frame elements have already been pre-cut and is sitting in the driveway waiting to be taken to the bottom of the hill.

Plans: based on ramptechs 4' halfpipe plans, tripled in dimensions.Ĭost: ~$4000 for pressure treated lumber and plywood + masoniteĪdditional cost if i wanted to add skatelite: ~$8000 (probably not going to do skatelite) Im going to post some pics of the construction process in this thread and try and answer any questions anybody might have about building a ramp like this. so now that im an adult, and ive got my own money and my own house, im finally building the ramp ive always wanted. my parents never really supported me in skateboarding so there was no chance in hell of ever actually getting a half-pipe in the backyard. ever since i was a kid ive wanted my own half-pipe. however, there is one spot at the very bottom of my property that is relatively flat and thats where im now building the mini ramp of my dreams. So i recently bought a house and ive got 6 more or less unusable acres since its mostly hillside.
