ResiRamps are built tough using only the best materials. All ramp frames are constructed with pressure treated, weather resistant lumber unless desired otherwise. 2 x 6 transition joists are spaced 8" O.C. with the use of joist hangars for extra strength. Flat-bottom joists are spaced 10" O.C. Transitions are cut using a computer numerically controlled (CNC) router or they are precision cut on site using the "string and compass method". Standard radius for 4' high halfpipes is 6' 10 1/2". Most 4' high ramps are 28 ft. long from end to end. Deck-Mate brand screws used for construction. Every screw is countersunk to create a smooth, snag-free skating surface. NO NAILS! As a low budget option, or indoor ramp, the customer may choose to have ramp frame built with untreated lumber. Footings: No concrete slab is necessary. Ramp footings consist of strategically spaced and levelled concrete blocks. Coping: Galvanized steel coping comes standard. Decks/Platforms: Marine grade or composite 5/4" x 6" aesthetically pleasing and durable deck boards are commonly used. Surfacing: Halfpipe surfacing consists of a layer of 1/2" pressure treated plywood, and an optional additional layer of either black Paneltech surface (New!), Ramp Armor Deluxe, or Skatelite-Pro surfacing. The Paneltech surfacing comes in black only. The color options for Skatelite-pro and Ramp Armor Deluxe are: black, tan, or brown. ResiRamps Team: ResiRamps is skater owned and operated.
