Me and my dad have just made a quarter pipe out of scrap wood.

I still need to paint it and also add a coping.

I'll post some more pictures when it is completely finished.

If you want a plan just ask.

Don't leave it outside, because that oriented strand board (OSB) doesn't play well with water. Other than that it should be pretty good once you get some coping on there. I suggest adding a little bit of a top deck behind the coping (at least like 9 - 12 inches).

well we are putting some tarpolen over it and also we are building a separate top deck as well.

that looks sweet. it's just not that wide

Yeah my friend built a quarter pipe just like that. How much did it cost you to make? And if you got the scrap wood for free, where from?

nice but could be wider

It was free but it was stuff that my grandpa and my dad had in their back gardens, however the under part of the ramp was sterling board which was like £15 from a sheet and I think you and get the ply wood and the 4x2s pretty cheap from any sort of wood company. Think my dad got most of the wood from Rembrand.

Adding up everything about £35.

so thats about say 50 bucks in american. Not bad... I could work with that,

well we are putting some tarpolen over it and also we are building a separate top deck as well. Tarpolen? I am guessing it is something like a tarp, just because it sounds like it. The water that runs on the surface of the pavement might still cause some trouble. If you keep it in the grass it may still be a problem because some soils drain slow. Just giving you the heads up; wouldn't want to ruin a nice quarter pipe.

thats pretty sick, wish i had one.

Yeah, it's a tarp made out of pollen. ;) -jk

Nice ramp! Looks a lot better than the one I tried to build.

I will wrapped it all around it so the water will not be able to get in through the pavement either, so thanks for the heads up.

Now there is only one thing left to do... shred it.

ya i wanna see that thing in action once u got it set up. Post a vid if u can that would be awesome. I wish i was "mechanical" i am a theatre student i know nothing about building anything.

dude that's awesome.
how much did it cost?

about £30-£35 so about $60

pretty nice would be awesome if its wider, and just keep it out of the rain...rain is not woods friend

well looks pretty nice there. u should defianatly add like coping and a little deck. and maybe get 4 wheels on the back so u can bend it over and roll it in to the garage

the wheel idea is great +rep that will solve the transport and also I am putting a coping in this weekend

dude that is not wide enough to skate for me, id make it like twice or three times as wide as what you have already, and its pretty damn steep to

ok it was just a test when I get my big shed and I can store it I can make it bigger
