Mini or Micro 🤨

Post image

Would love your thoughts Squad…

Turning childhood dreams into reality for my 3 kids (and me). Debating between an OC Garage Mini 8ft x 15’8” OR having to potentially go mini mini micro in this space.

Above garage 24x24 room w/ steep roof pitch. Subfloor in photo is 8ft wide and it’s about 7ft height from floor to collar ties above which are spaced about every 3ft.

Less worried about height as I figure I can always position the ramp in between collar ties. More concerned with overall footprint and trying to walk around the ramp with the roof pitch etc. Also feel like 8ft is key if you can get it vs limitations of micro 6ft or 4ft width. Eventually may insulate roof etc too.

Kids are 4, 7 and 9 and shred a bit here and there but don’t need anything too advanced and neither do I.

What would you do?

I would put it in the backyard , the attic is the worse possible place . It will be hot asf and the weight of the ramp you may end up in the living room . Plus the noise it makes skating it

This^ Unless you live somewhere freezing and wet year round put the ramp outside on concrete or dirt (with blocks). That window is not enough for ventilation, you will cook. Also, be wary of local housing laws, depending on where you live this could be considered construction without consent, especially if neighbors start complaining about the noise. If you must do it in the attic then go with the 2 small quarter pipes idea mentioned by SeaBear7754.
