Once the 2Г—4вЂ™s are cut and prepped, youвЂ™ll use 2.5вЂі exterior screws to assemble to the planks to the transition pieces.ДЄ good milestone and time for testing your build quality is after the first of the quarter pipes is framed and assembled. Mark and cut your 2Г—4вЂ™s to the width of each of your quarterpipes or the entire width of your halfpipe, depending on how youвЂ™ve planned the ramp. Once the transition pieces are cut, itвЂ™s time to trim out the 2Г—4вЂ™s to frame the ramp. The ramp in these plans is exactly 12 feet wide. Trimming Your 2x4s to Frame Out the Mini Ramp Use a jigsaw to make your cuts in the plywood and use your first cut as a template for the rest of the plywood cuts. You can cut 2 transitions from each drawn template by stacking plywood and making a single cut. Measure and mark the rest of the transition pieces using your first as the template for all. To create each transition piece of the mini-ramp, you need to line up two sheets of plywood, decipher the pivot point of the ramp, and then line up your curvature using a string and line drawing in the wood.ДЄttach a screw to the second sheet of plywood to anchor your string to, and cut the string to the length of the radius of your curve.ДЄttach a pencil to the anchored string and draw a curved line on the sheets of plywood to illustrate your cut points on the wood. When building a mini halfpipe, youвЂ™re actually assembling 4 quarter-pipe ramps which are built in modular sections for future flexibility. Building the Transition for the Mini-Ramp

In any areas not flush with the footings, feel free to install concrete pavers to help level out the area for proper installation. In a perfect world, the whole ramp would sit on a super flat, perfectly balanced concrete pad, but most areas are far from perfect so be prepared to install some concrete footings for the mini-ramp. If you have a cement or brick pad in your backyard, consider using this as a sturdy platform to place your mini-ramp on as it will support the construction and make the ramp last longer in the yard.ДЇor any corners of the ramp not placed on a pre-existing cement or brick pad, youвЂ™ll need to dig support holes and fill with cement footings to stabilize the ramp construction.Д¬ement footings should be 12вЂі x 12вЂі x8вЂі for standard size ramps and sit flush with the ground level. You need to be sure the ramp will fit in your backyard or space youвЂ™re planning to keep your halfpipe. Start with a good, solid plan for your mini-ramp.
