Traceable 6 Foot Tall Halfpipe Skateboard Ramp Template
A "Mini Ramp" is a skateboard ramp (think: halfpipe) that is smaller than six feet tall and doesn't contain any "vert", meaning that it doesn't go vertical in the sloped transition. The DIY mini ramp we're building here is 3 feet tall, 12 feet wide, and 24 feet long. It's the perfect size for casual skating and is awesome for beginners and experts alike.
This is an outdoor ramp and we built ours in our backyard, so we're going to cover how to set up a foundation on uneven ground, how to frame it using 2x4s and plywood, how to add steel coping, how to sheath it with plywood, and how to weather-proof it so it lasts as long as possible outdoors.
The ramp we're building is 3 feet high, 12 feet wide and 24 feet long. Whatever the exact size of your ramp, you're going to need a flat piece of ground to put it. It's important that the ramp sits on level ground, so in a perfect world, it would sit either on a flat concrete pad or at the least on a wide level space. In our case, our yard is neither flat nor level so we had to fix that.
Skate Ramp (3ft Halfpipe)
We start by laying out exactly where it will go in the yard and then use Concrete Footings (12" x 12" x 8") and put one at each corner. Because our yard slopes downhill, the ones at the top get buried quite a bit and the ones at the other end are above ground. We use a line level to ensure all 4 corners are level with each other, as well as square and evenly spaced.
Because the ramp is heavy, the foundation will settle a bit over time. To help keep it level for a long time we put a 3-4" thick layer of gravel underneath each of the footings.
The first bit of construction is to layout and cut the sloped transitions that make up the sides of the ramp. For this ramp, we're building four different quarter pipes and each one has a transition on each side. So, we need to make 8of them.
Backyard Half Pipe
These are cut from 3/4" plywood and we can get two transitions from one 4' x'8' sheet. To lay them out, we start by putting two sheets side by side on the ground and marking the pivot point which is 6' 3.5" from the bottom and 2" in from the side. Since 2x4s are 3.5" wide, this will give us a 6' radius slope. Once we have it marked, we'll put in a screw and then tie a string to it. We'll then measure a 6' length of string and tie a pencil to the end and use it to draw the radius on the wood.
Next, we measure the back side to 2' 11.25" up from the bottom and then square that line across until it meets the curve we just drew. There is a small notch for the coping where that top-line meets the slope that is 1.25" tall and 1.75" deep.
Once everything is laid out, we then cut the shape out with a jigsaw and use it as a template to mark the other seven pieces and cut them all out, being careful to get them all as close to the same as we can.
Half Pipe 2ft X 6ft
We're building four quarter pipes: two that are 8' wide and two that are 4' wide. We'll then bolt one of each together to give us a 12' wide ramp. The next step is to cut all of the 2x4s that will be used to frame each quarter pipe, so to get the right length we have to subtract the width of each of the 3/4" plywood transitions, which means subtracting 1.5".
That gives us a 2x4 length of 94.5" for the wider ramps and 46.5" for the shorter ones. Once we have these lengths, we then cut all the 2x4s down to length for all four quarter pipes. There are (34) 2x4s needed for the two wide ramps and another (17) needed for both the shorter ramps.
To frame the quarter pipes, we screw in one upright 2x4 on each corner of the transition, one laid on its side at the top of the slope, and then one every 8" (upright) until we reach the bottom. We also put them along the top spaced at 8" apart and then lastly we cut some shorter pieces that go under the 2x4s at the top for added support for the deck.
Mini Ramp & Pump Track? Let's Talk Backyard Skatepark Goals
With all four quarter pipes built, we carefully position them all on the footings we made earlier. They're obviously heavy, so be careful moving them around! Once all four of them are in position, we then need to ensure that they are square to each other, and as level as possible.
This is the point when you'll add the concrete pavers underneath the ramps, spaced at 4', to support the weight of the ramp.
To do this, we used a line level and ran it across all four corners, making small adjustments until we were happy that it was square and completely level.

You may find you need to either raise or lower the concrete footings to get things level. If this is too difficult, another option is shimming underneath the
