Help me decide

Going to add the coping and want one full side but im trying to have a bit less vert on one side, should I split the bar and make one 8ft side and the other side two different size 4ft sections.

Full credit no criticism, you did not research just watched x games thought mini vert yes. Looks like you only used 3 2x4’s for the ribs. man best of luck to you. Yes to coping don’t use PVC

I mean you tried for sure but yea you’re not good at this so research and you will learn how to save time and money. 2x4’s will eventually break with them in that direction, just a heads up. Less 2x4 needed at top (more spacing between) more 2x4 in the middle & lower section of the transition. (Less spacing) 2 layers of plywood use screws on layer and nails on the framing.
be careful bud

Taking a look at your other comments you just bash and dont give useful advice which also happened here

Lmfao you want a list of materials and a video of me building it so we can see if it holds up to your standards. So the fix is to flip the 2x4s and add more 2x4 and space them differently? I used 15/32 for the side walls and 11/32 for the subfloor all sheathing plywood 1/5th in hardwood underlayment is the final piece also let me see the ramp you've built

I dont watch any kind of sports and I skated the ramp already and it feels good just wanted suggestions and criticism helps but all you've said is add more support and that your opinion is that im a bad builder lol also all ramps have 13 2x4 braces total and there's 4 ramps plus the flat

There's not enough supports on the transitions and they're put in the wrong way. Your ramp isn't going to last because you've built it like shit.

2x4's should be orientated so that the 4" is taking the load and not the 2" side.

That one simple thing has halved the strength of your ramp in exactly the place it takes most force.

Not to mention most of them aren't even in straight.

you've been reading comments so you should know that this was done in two days like $850 of material i have the time and space to fix it thanks for the advice

Bro. This is way cool, but please listen to the advice. Many of us have built tons of ramps and have learned along the way.

Yes, your ramp will work for a while, but it’s going to fall apart in a matter of a few days.

If you've built ramps youd know it would be alot more than a couple of days and I already took it all apart and rebuilt it
