Rob says "hey it's cheaper than building a pool." Remember that skateboard ramps can be dangerous so users must wear all the safety gear necessary - helmet, wrist, knee and elbow pads.

The skateboard ramp is made from 17mm and 7mm plywood and 70mm x 35mm pine which is easy to get from a timber supplier or hardware store. All the cutting of the plywood will be done with a jigsaw and the pine with a drop saw. Some cutting of a metal pipe may be necessary using an angle grinder or pipe cutter, or your hardware store could cut it to length for you.
