THIS WILL MAKE IT EASIER TO CUT THE REST. TO DO IT OUR WAY DRAW A LINE DOWN THE CENTER OF THE PLYWOOD SHEET AND MAKE THE CUT. THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE DIFFICULT PARTS OF THE PROCESS. START BY MEASURING AND DRAWING YOUR TRANSITION.Super important for the way the ramp feels and what type of plywood sheeting you use to cover it. Like I said, we used 1 sheet of ¾ plywood for our transition templates because we went for a smaller, more compact mini and well, we’re cheap. STEP 3 – THE BUILD: MAKING THE TRANSITION We pulled it off using this stuff and didn't waste a whole lot of material. It’d be nice to have an actual sawhorse, a square, and a real level, but this is pretty much all you'll need! We'll get to the different options for materials later. This is pretty much the bare minimum supplies you’re going to need. 2’X4’ A LOT OF SCREWS – 1 ½” IS A GOOD LENGTH.We weren’t sure exactly how much material we needed, so we had to go back a couple times to grab the stuff we were missing. We got to know the guys at the hardware store by our place pretty well. This would end up costing you a bit more, but would likely be worth it if you’ve got the space. A nice size would be 3-4 feet high, 20 feet in length, and 8 feet wide. Which is small. This allowed us to use one sheet of ¾” plywood for all 4 sides of the ramp, with 4 pieces of 3/8” ply topped with 4 pieces of 1/8” ply for the surface. This also made for a nice fit in our front yard.įind a spot that’s as flat as possible and the rest is up to you. Slightly under two feet (1’10”) high, 16 feet long, 8 feet wide. YOUR ABILITY LEVEL (IS THIS A DIY FOR YOUR KIDS?).HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO SPEND ON MATERIALS.HOW MUCH WOOD YOU HAVE AT YOUR DISPOSAL.THE SIZE OF THE AREA YOU HAVE TO WORK WITH.Here’s what we did, how we did it, and some recommendations for building your very own front-yard mini!įirst, you’ll have to decide where you want to build it and how big you want it to be. The consensus among the build crew is we did it cheaply and ended up with a solid product! I will be the first to admit though that some corners were definitely cut. It took the warehouse several weeks just to finish and perfect these pieces! When the corners were ready, we framed out the rest of the ramp and we had our freight company bring their 53 foot long semi-truck and we filled it to the MAX with the ramp pieces.This spring, my roommates and I set out to build our first mini ramp. We spent some time researching different DIY plans, watching youtube videos, and talking about what we wanted for a ramp. We built it over the course of a week, working on it for a couple hours every couple of days and spent roughly $500. The build crew made sure all the cuts were perfect so there were no gaps in any of the corners. The few companies that also build bowls tend to use nails to speed up the process, we take our time with it and make sure that we only use rust proof screws with everything to ensure our customer gets the best product possible. In addition to all of this, OC Ramps only uses screws in building these custom bowls. There are beveled cuts, compound cuts, and hundreds of pieces that must be installed. We began building with the bowl corners, this is the absolute most difficult part of building any bowl. After finalizing the dimensions of the space we had to work with, we began designing the perfect product. In the process of relandscaping everything, he made sure to leave the perfect spot for his custom bowl.
