wooden ramp

[blakefoote]

im about to build a new wooden ramp. I want it to proffesional size. bout 8ft tall 8ft wide and bout 22ft long. I was wondering how big H bomb films's ramps were. I alsowant to know bout how big the landing will have to be. THKS

we have had a wooden ramp in the past and really like it but now we wont one bigger and really dont havethemoney to spend on a ramp

Hbombfilms ramps are about the same size i believe, which, your dimensions are standard competition size ramp. Since your making it out of wood, Be sure to take your time and dont cut corners when you build it, brace it up as good as you can. The landing should be about 10 feet high or somewhere around in there, maybe a little more. and about 25 feet long, well, its easier to decide how big your landing needs to be when you stand back and look at it and your gap. good luck, hope this helped a little.

hey man ill hook you up wiht dimensions and an exact radius for your ramp but nobody likes wood this site is like a cult aginist wooden ramps since your in tennese holla at Jason over at www.alloyindustries.com he has the best prices anywhere on ramps and they are the best quaility you can get this thread reminds me i need to get my *** out side and go finsh my landing and when my dad gets back finish my stupid ramp (its sitting in the shop half done (its all steel of course)

i have a 4' tall 6' wide 12' long wooden kicker and the thing is heavy. i cant imagine how heavy that thing will be. mine is about 200-250 lbs and its half the size of yours. plus the fact that its so big you are going to need to brace the **** out of it.hopefully your not goin to have to move it around but good luck. everyone here hates wooden ramps but if they are built good they will last. just remember...braces. make it strong.

What wood would you all use for a top piece? Masonite? OSB? I can't think of anything that would bend that much and still be of good quality. Im not a fan of wooden ramps either, I just thought it'd be neat to build one. I am a pretty good wood-worker soo it should be a breeze when I find this out.

Thanks
