    Featured tools: Kobalt Tool Combo Kit→ low.es/2DcBeak
    Kobalt Jigsaw→ low.es/2KB1hy2
    All the materials are listed below. Be sure to click the link and print out the plans with measurements. The ramp you see me build in this video is 4ft wide. If you have the space available, building an 8ft wide quarterpipe is worth considering as well as a second ramp to turn it into a halfpipe.
    If you end up building your own, send some pictures and let me know how it went. If you want to paint, stain or seal it; treat the wood with the same materials as you would use on a deck.
    Transition & Deck Ply→ (1) 1/2" Sheathing
    Sublayer Ply→ (1) 3/8" Sheathing
    Surface Ply→ (1) 1/4" Sanded
    2x4's→ (6) Straight with no large knots
    PVC Coping → (4ft) 1-1/2" Conduit
    Construction Adhesive (or use screws)→ (1) Loctite Premium Construction Adhesive
    Surface & Deck Ply Screws→ (60) 1-1/2"
    2x4 to 2x4 Screws→ (21) 3-1/2" exterior
    1/2" ply to 2x4 screws→ (28) 2-1/2"

    the construction adhesive method for the coping is the same reason I broke my collar bone, drill the hole and make sure they are screwed down. If you are able you can also use a washer bolt and nut to get a better fit. This also helps with removing the coping if it gets damaged. Same thing with attaching the deck. Two bolts on each side with a metal bracket will make your ramp last longer they can be found at Lowes too.

    Built this during quarantine with my friend, works great. Sturdy enough for 3 people to drop in at the same time. I learned rock to fakie on the ramp. Taught my friends how to drop in by putting the ramp in grass so they wouldn’t be afraid to fall.
    I would recommend a thin sheet of metal at the very end because the wood chipped and broke. Plus the metal makes the transition smoother.

    I literally never post you tube comments but this is dope. I've been debating building a mini ramp in my backyard so badly, i'm 22 an wanna get back into skating. As a kid the parks were far so all I did was flat an some rails(wasn't good but it was a lot of fun). I couldn't find any other good PVC info but this helped a ton thanks, metals expensive. Sorry to be pushy bro but you should do another vid on a full size mini ramp i mean it's not like you don't already have half of it LOL. Seriously though, I've been thinking about this for months. This is like probably the 20th video I've watched and every other one was on mini ramps, but this was was the best by far. And not only that you gave by far the most info thank you so much!(the list of materials in the comments is fantastic out of all the videos i think i maybe found one other that had the list makes it so much easier :D). PS just kidding don't make a whole new video for one guy but i'm happy i stumbled onto your channel I love diy thanks for the hard work!

    Hi , thanks so much for these videos. I just finished making 2 quarters based on your design & explanation and am having a lot of fun on them re-learning skating in my 40s with my kids. i made one at 24" with a 5'ish radius and a mellower one at 23" with a 6' ish radius.
    It is worth pointing out that your plans and materials specs only work for the specific ramp in the video (23" & 5' radius). For the 6' radius ramp i had to use an extra bit of ply for the transition because it's longer. The great thing is that i could make make 2 ramps from the ply that you specify by buying a few extra 2x4s and using some scrap bits of wood i had for the platform , a fantastic cheap micro halfpipe! My tip is : Take your time to get the coping levels right, makes a big difference.

      About $115.00, I had a few other items from the hardware store, and my bill was $130. I used PVC pipe instead of metal to reduce the cost. ($4.00 vice $21.00 for the coping) My son has used it everyday and it is holding up well.

    Me and my girl just started a mommy daughter roller skating club (lol it's just us. I have 3 girls) and we wanted to take it to the next level but we don't have skate parks around here and no one likes the roller rink. This just save me. Gotta keep up with Club President duties 🤣 thank you
