How to Build a Skate Ramp

How to Build a Skate Ramp How to Build a Skate Ramp Skating is a real fun activity for those who enjoy outdoor games. But the rising prices of gas and the high entry fees of the skate parks make the idea less appealing. Have you ever imagined what would it be like to build your own exclusive skate ramp in the backyard of your house? This idea can turn into reality if we follow the step by step guide given below. So get your friends together and get set to build your first private skate ramp.

Things that are required are:

A piece of plywood (12mm thick: 600mm x 1200mm)
A piece of plywood (6mm thick: 970mm x 600mm)
3 pieces of wood ( 45mm x 35mm x 576mm)
Nails
Rivets
Drill
Glue

The process is as follows:

Start cutting the wood first. Cut the 12mm piece into 2 right triangles. Keep the base as 900mm and height as 300mm.
The next step involves creating the frame of the ramp. Take a piece of timber and start shaping it to give the shape of the same angle as the top of the triangles. Now you need to rivet a piece of wood to both sides of the triangle. Make sure that all the edges are flushed. The very last piece of wood needs to be positioned in the middle of the triangle and make sure to rivet it into its place.
Take some wood from the leftover piece of plywood and contour one of its edges to the same angle as the pointed section of the ramp. Glue it to the right spot. Nail it down after the glue has dried off and place the plywood above the frame.
Set your ramp where you want it to be placed and get set to skate!!
