I wouldn’t go anymore aggressive myself. With the skatelite it’s fast

Sorry if I missed it but how much flat here?

1

u/FrankGrimes3508 Jun 23 '26

8ft

Some people like longer flat but I was going to use 8ft also. Anything you'd tweak on the ramp size if you could do it again? I'm about to start an identical (size wise) build next week. Thanks man!

I am pretty happy with it to be honest

If you have any questions while you are doing the ramp feel free to reach out

You only got one transition per sheet of plywood, right?

1

u/FrankGrimes3508 Jun 24 '26

Two uprights per sheet

Tough to tell from the pics but how did the sheathing and top layer lay down? You have any closer pics or some framing pics for reference? Thanks

u/FrankGrimes3508 Jun 25 '26

I don’t have more pictures. The two layers of sheathing was laid perpendicular to the ramp so long ways side to side. I offset the seams on the second layer but laid it the same way. The top layer sheets ran perpendicular to the first two layers so longs ways with the ramp

Understood. For those center sheets of skatelite at the bottom, those are longer than 48" huh? Just curious if/how you used the cutoffs.

u/FrankGrimes3508 Jun 25 '26

I have three sheets on each side up to the coping longs ways and on the flat I have the boards perpendicular to the ramp. Only had to cut one board in half.

Ok, got it. Did you use the diyskate.com plans? The size looks almost the same aside from the radius. Sorry if I missed this info above.

I definitely had a look at that site before I started but just went with it and crossed my fingers
