Advice on making a halfpipe

[elijahharvey]

hey guys I'm planning on building a halfpipe in my backyard I'm thinking of building it 8 feet wide, 4 feet tall, and 27 feet long.

what would be my cheapest options for materials? I already have the pipe for the coping.

Hey @elijahharvey,

Sounds like an amazing project! I don't believe we've had any members previously share a halfpipe project before. Do you have any plans already that you are going to follow? I see some skateboarding sites like this one have plans. 

@ProjectPete - any thoughts on this in regards to materials?

Welcome to the Workshop community. We are really looking forward to seeing your project progress.

Thanks for the tag @Jason but not sure I can be much help on this one. I haven't built one since highschool and don't remember the materials we used except the ramp being made of ply - unsure of thickness, etc. For me, I'd just be getting plans/ideas from online sources on this one. Good luck with it @elijahharvey - sounds like fun!
