TRY TO MAKE IT 5 FT LONG INSTEAD OF 4 FT, 4FT is a little too short
Step By step Directions- It's winter, I can't skate outside and i'm bored so I made a box, this is probably the easiest way to make a legit grindbox.

If it's to hard to read directions right here:

You need-
-Tape measure $5
-Saw/Power Saw $15-20
-Power Drill w/3/16 Drill bit $50
-Speed square, or ruler $5
-Get like 40 feet of 2x4's $30
-Piece of Plywood about 4ft By 3ft $5
-A box or two Of 2 1/2 inch Screws $4
-Some room free
-If you have a bench vice, that will help
-Pens
-5ft Steel angle or Angle iron $10
-Drawing plan will help

Now get your 2x4's, saws, measuring tape, ruler and cut
-4 pieces of four feet 2x4's
-7 pieces of two feet 2x4's
-4 pieces of one foot 2x4s's

Make the base
Take 2 4ft 2x4's and 2 2ft 2x4's
screw them together and form a rectangle

To make supports, grab 4 of the one foot 2x4's and screw them to the inside corners of the base.

Remake the base and put it on the high end of the supports

Arch Supports-
Then grab three 2 foot 2x4s and lay three across the top and screw them in.

Then Cut The plywood to 4x26 3/4 inches and screw it on top with 9 screws.

And Lay the angle iron and use the drill bit and drill two holes across to make holes
Then drill some screws and your finished.
Wax it and skate it.

  • make it 9 inches tall, 6 feet long, and 3 feet wide.

  • @Iskate2metal nice dimensions but I would make it at least a foot tall cause you get more used to skating street ledges and learning to handle a bigger ledge in general is good

  • where did you get the coping for your box idk where to buy it , i built my box today all thats missing is the coping

  • @AlbiSancho your gonna want to check out all your local hardware stores, ask if they sell angle irons.
