The sides and top are 3/4 inch plywood. In order to bend the ramp portion, you have to use two layers of 3/8 inch plywood. I used a sponge to get the plywood wet prior to screwing it on and the wood grain is running horizontal. First layer had a wide piece toward the top and a narrow one near the bottom. Second layer had the wide piece near the bottom and a narrow piece toward the top. That way the seams are not in the same place. Search for quarter pipe design for examples.
this is a dad who built a really good quater pipe for a boy who is shit at skateboarding, i had to be my parents to build mine MYSELF and they have only just let me now.
@skaterkid91998 hey leave the kid alone he's learning. maybe they dont have a good skatepark around. plus, he can get better by practicing whenever he wants because its right there in his garage.
@MarcusAllensaSkater Yes, it is thick PVC and works fine. Drilled four holes that were just large enough to get the screw heads through to anchor it to the wood. In our "Homemade Quarter Pipe Upgrade" video, we made it removeable to increase the height.
thats one nice ramp, shape, paint and design, all measurements look good except for chunky plywood at base of ramp, you would have been better off cutting bottom edge of ply at angle and sanding down even more of an angle. I would recommend going against the grain so edge doesn't break off.
@MRCOOL14120 any ramp is a quarterpipe, I have a quarterpipe/kicker shaped ramp at my house that i use as a quarterpipe not a launch ramp cuz transition is too chunky and I don't skate alot. Who cares about exact meaning of ramp terminology ramp is nice
great job i cant drop it im scared but i can kick flip ollie and shove it but ya im scared to drop in and i dont care what people think i am not that great and im learning
@michaelniner98 kid, no you cant, hahahahahahaha. you would put up the video idiot. all you do is fail ollie over bricks hahahahahahahahaha. i can skate better than you and i dont even skate. so shut your mouth

not really a quarter pipe its more like a kicker,a quarter is at a 90 degree angle,that looks more like a 70 degree angle
