Cut out (see Detail A) 30mm x 30mm square from top corner of the curved frame and put a rafter either side. They will still remain flush with top of frame.ħ. When you get to the flat spot put the rafters on edge and the ground will support those rafters. The rafters are laid on the flat so that you see the 70mm face. The rafters need to be flush with the outside curve frame. ![]() Now you are ready to put the rafters on to create the curve. Make sure the frame is completely square. The two frames can be nailed together creating the flat spot in the ramp. Each end of the ramp needs to be joined together using 70 x 45 rafters on edge. ( Note: all the rafters have to be cut at length 2364mm – this plus the two 18mm framing sheets will create an overall width of 2400).ĥ. The overall width of the frame is 2400mm. At the back corners, start framing timbers. Stand the four outside frames into position and on the bottom corners on the ground nail your first rafter. Cut the rafters at length 2364mm (this allows for the 2 x 18mm framing sheets to create an overall frame width of 2400).Ĥ. Take two of these and reduce the curve by the thickness of the rafter (45mm) and this frame will sit under the rafters. Use this piece as a template and cut 5 more. (Thus it begins to flatten before the 70mm point – giving a nice transition curve to flat spot).ģ. Take a piece of plastic conduit (see pic below) and from those two points, create the curve, remembering the curve must be flat at the 70mm point. Go to the diagonally opposite corner and mark a point 70mm. Set out the template: take 1 sheet of 18mm ply and along the 2400 length, measure in and mark a point 500mm from the edge to mark the platform. Rails: 2 of 70 x 45mm treated pine at length 2700mm, 6 of 70 x 45mm treated pine at length 1800mm, 10 tubes of Maxibond glue (or similar), 200 screws x 25mm long, 2 x 2400mm lengths of 50mm dia. Rafters: 35 of 70 x 45mm radiata pine at length 2400mm ( Warning: keep all power tools, and particularly nail guns, out of reach of children.)ġ. If nailing the frame together, Scottie recommends hiring a nail gun. The frame can be screwed or nailed together. You’ll need a friend to help (preferably an experienced builder). The ramp must be sited on a flat, level base. As a thank you present, Luke presented Scottie with a signed Newcastle Knights football jumper. Each set consisted of a helmet, kneepads, wrist pads and elbow pads. Luke was keen to try out his new ramp, but first, Scott presented him with a gift from Burke’s Backyard: two sets of safety gear for use with the ramp. Scott not only supplied the plans and instructions (see below), but he went to Luke’s place and they built the ramp together. Scott Cam received a letter from Luke Davis, who lives with his grandparents, asking for plans and instructions to build a skateboard ramp. SKATEBOARDS AND SKATEBOARD RAMPS ARE DANGEROUS It is the responsibility of builders of skateboard ramps and users of skateboards to ensure maximum safety.
