[rmborders]

@RightOffPortAwesome Thanks for the tip. I appreciate it.

@rmborders HDPE 48" x 48" 1/2" Thick is that the correct size?

[rmborders]

@Dcamiolo8 Yep, that's right.

There's my roof!

[IrushYouHard]

How much would the HDPE stuff cost?

:)

[rmborders]

@IrushYouHard I think it was around $120 for a 4x4 sheet of 1/2 inch (that included the shipping and handling).

[raleighbikes22]

the ruff haha

[littledarknite]

the roof >:)

[monkeypudding101]

Hay let's so you do all the stuff you said now

[xthexxdeadxxx]

build a BAMF ramp off the roof and bring the boxes further

[rmborders]

@xthexxdeadxxx I have thought about that :)

[skiinANDlaxin]

Is the HDPE slippery to slide on?

[rmborders]

@skiinANDlaxin The HDPE is slick. It's what you want and it's perfect to slide!

[NBSnowboard]

@rmborders where can you buy that white stuff on the top? and how much would it be?

[SUBLIMEBANDRULES]

Both boxes togather are 16ft?

[rmborders]

@SUBLIMEBANDRULES Yep! Each are 8ft with a small gap between the two.

[Mr23Skillz]

will 1/4 inch of hdpe hold up good??

[rmborders]

@Mr23Skillz Many people have said 1/4 inch works just fine. So I would say yes.

[RyrymiamiU]

Thanks

[RyrymiamiU]

How far apart was the legs?

[rmborders]

@RyrymiamiU 16 inches apart.

[zZsnYpZz]

Where did you buy the HDPE?

[rmborders]

@zZsnYpZz

usplastics

[MobGrip25]

Is it easy to cut the HDPE or do you need a certain kind of saw?

[rmborders]

@MobGrip25 Very easy to cut. I used a table saw (just a standard ripping blade). The higher tooth blade count you use the finer the cut will be (just like in any case of cutting). You will probably get some burrs however, you can just lightly sand them off the edge. Anyway, no specific saw needed.

[MrMgaffney]

do you need to wax the hdpe at all or is it ready to go?

[rmborders]

@MrMgaffney They are ready to go. NO wax needed.

[sicklinesproduction]

You have a really nice roof :)

[uwiththehair]

i live in an area without snow so this is my new weekend project . And wouldn't a loop-d-loop box be just awesome!!!

[rmborders]

@uwiththehair Have fun with it. With the plastic lattice I had screwed to the plywood approach I really didn't need snow!!!! I have had a blast on those boxes. A loop-d-loop would rock. If you build it, you have to put out a video of it. I would love to see it.

[BodaciousBoarder]

nice brotha mayne

[R3AP3R811]

how much did the hdpe cost

[rmborders]

@R3AP3R811 I got half inch and a 4x4 sheet was around $120 if I remember correctly. I know people who go with quarter inch and it is a lot less expensive. US plastics has the pricing on-line. I used half inch for durability.

[monsterski14]

would u suggest a box longer than 8 ft for people that dont do/ do a lot of terrain park boxes?

[rmborders]

@monsterski14 It is hard to progress on a smaller box. I would not go shorter than 8 ft. In order to really learn you must have time on the box. I think the longer the box the better :-) No matter if you are just starting out or if you are really good an 8 ft box or bigger would be just fine to pull off a ton of tricks. Most important part, HAVE FUN!!! I hope this helps.

[2011funforall]

@monsterski14 Just build an 8 ft box and then you can always add a section when you are ready. Any shorter than 8 is hard to really get a feel for the tricks. Hope that helps. Have fun!

[mccoyty]

how many piceces of 4x4 hdpe did you get

[rmborders]

@mccoyty 1 sheet cut into four 12 in wide sections. Let me know if you have any other questions.

[MrSumPat]

NICE!

[rmborders]

@MrSumPat Simple and tons of fun!!!!!
