...we don,t have a lot of money for the project.

If you don't have the money to build the ideal outdoor ramp, then just build what you can afford and do the repairs in Spring. You'll still be stoked. You can paint the shit out of everything (except the top surface) and do it every year. Concrete last pretty long too...

we have to do it in wood so it can be taken down if necessary.. Don't forget we have -30 Celsius degrees temperature here in the winter.. We thought about painting the whole thing with polyeurathane paint even the top layer to make it somehow weather proof and cover it with a big blue plastic thing ( i don't know how its called xD) thanks and if you guys have more ideas just post'em because we need some!

i was going to say the same thing. i think he means he wants a 120cm tall ramp, being canadian and all.

oooh sorry I meant 4' like in 4 feet xD with the 6' extensions

Instead of spending 2 Loonies on Doug Fir spend 4 bucks on Redwood and Cedar. If you can concrete in your pliers 2 feet below the frost line, this will help against shifting from the soil contacting and expanding

/\ good point on the wood. a good rule of thumb for sinking posts is about half of what your height will be.  what part of canada do you live in?

so i have a wall in my back yard that is 3' 6 1/2" tall and i want to build a concrete qp against it. trouble is, i don't know how to cut forms for tranny on plywood much less what tranny to use on a 3' wall.  any help would be killer

8' 2X4, drill a hole big enough to put a pencil through 1" any from one end. 3' from your pencil hole drill a hole for a deck screw, then at 4' and 5'. You screw in the hole for 3' on a the plywood your cutting, put your pencil in the pencil hole and swing the 2X4 to draw. You still have to make sure your beginning and end points meet where you want them but you'll figure it out. for a mellow quarter use the five foot hole. For a rad quarter use the 3 foot and get a little vert

Not photo's, I know, but these dudes made a sweet edit that was filmed at this spot across the park from my house. I put the pole jam together from a concrete filled pole that I found in the parking lot and what I think is a tether-ball holder. Other dudes have been doing the 'crete work, bondo and the angle iron on the bench. I need to get it together and make an edit of my own soon. There's also the ten stair from the end of the Non-Tage video I posted awhile back.

thanks krusher, hopefully i'll have some cash together for the wood and crete in a couple of weeks. house payments take most of my money away

A 60 pound bag of concrete is supposed to be equal to a cubic foot. If you’re pouring your concrete at 3 inches thick you should be able to fill a space of 1 foot by 4 feet with one bag. This should help you visualize how many bags you need. Most places only sell 90 pound bags.

You can also take pieces of scrap plywood or shelving and screw them together and cut your transitions out of those. Most DIY is done on a teenager’s budget so there are a lot of good cheap ways of building
