How to Build Skateboard Ramps for Under 50 Dollars |

 The most expensive component of skateboard ramps is the coping or medal L-shaped rails. In the spirit of saving money, I have included some instructions on how to build skateboard ramps for under 50 dollars. The most bang for your buck comes when building a box with built on rail. The best way to start is to find a local construction yard or woodworking business. Ask them if they have any scrap 2 x 4s or beams that will make up the interior structure.
I would shoot for a box that is four feet wide and 8 feet long. The height is completely up to you. For beginners something a couple inches above curb height works great. If you are unsure about how to build a stable box, look up free skateboard ramp plans online.
Once the exoskeleton of the box is completed head down to the store and buy smooth masonite wood sheets for the top and nail down. The most expensive portion is the metal edges, which are to be glued to the long sides of the box. Buy the best instant bonding metal glue out there. Slap on some stickers and start on other skateboard ramps.
