How To Build Skateboard Mini Ramp

Learning how to build a skateboard mini ramp is not too difficult for those who have any experience using tools and wood. A few standard supplies are needed for the construction of the ramps, but once those have been acquired, putting the ramp together is not that hard and can provide a lot of fun for skaters. The following is some advice on how to build a skateboard mini ramp.

Materials:

• Ten sheets of plywood
• Several long two-by-four boards
• Hammer
• Nails
• Saw (such as table saw or electric hand saw)

1. Purchase all of the supplies you will need to make the ramp. Any home improvement or construction supply store will have what you need.
2. Create the frame of the curved ends of the ramp. A mini ramp is flat in the middle, but slopes up and curves up at each end, making a little valley-like structure for skaters to go back and forth on. Cut out and upward, a slightly curved triangular shape four times from the plywood. Nail two-by-fours that are as are twice the width of the plywood sheets in length (as they will support two sheets lined side by side). Nail them between these plywood ramp frames that were cut out, so that you have two ends each with two plywood sides curved up and two by fours running horizontally connecting the two sides of the frames at each end.
3. On the ends that have the width of two sheets of plywood widths, nail two sheets of plywood side by side, going to the top on each and extending downward, curving until they are horizontal at the base of each ramp. You should have used four sheets of plywood, two on each end, to make the skateable part on the ends of the mini ramp.
4. Nail two-by-fours underneath and between the bases of these ramps, so that the bottoms of the ramp ends where you left off are two lengths of plywood sheets apart.
5. Nail the remaining four sheets of plywood onto this two by four frame side by side so that the flat, interior part is two sheets of plywood wide and two sheets of plywood long and each end of the interior runs to the base of the upward curved sheets of plywood at the mini ramp's end. Eight sheets of plywood should be whole on the surface and the other two should have been cut, making two sides of the ramp. The ramp is now finished, as it should have its shape and a smooth plywood surface. Put it to good use!

Learning how to build a skateboard mini ramp is easier than you might think. Wood and some basic tools are all of the supplies needed to make such a ramp, which can provide a lot of fun for skateboarders anywhere it is installed.
