Hey,

I've been looking at making a quarter pipe for a while now, but I haven't bought any materials. However, I think I have the right machinery/tools to build one.
I have practically no idea what I'm doing, and need advice for pretty much everything (size, type of wood(s), angles and dimensions etc).

I'm not too skilled, so I don't want to make it too high, and I do want to make it fairly long.

Could some people give me some good advice on how to go about doing this... And also, do you know how much it will end up costing?

Thanks...

google...

step 1 - search for plans

step 2 - buy wood

step 3 - quarter

i have mad a couple of minis in my time a couple of things to remember are

# make sure the transition isnt too tight
# have plenty of bracing
# and use good coping

also the surface you use is inportant my mini was inside so i used masonite however it gets holes easily outside i would recomemnd marine ply

hope this helps
