I just finished building a 4 ft mini & used this video for tips and it was helpful. Used 3/4 inch for templates & 2 layers of 3/8 for sheeting. All for $800. I used ramp armor for the top layer which was expensive (12 sheets @ $133.50) but well worth it & less expensive than skatelite & just as grippy & durable. With the ramp armor my total cost was $2400 Points to be very careful of... Measure out your space to be sure you have enough room & select the most level part of your yard. 1. You can save a lot of time & money by making 8 ft sections (less spent on templates & less time spent cutting fewer templates. I spaced the 2x4 ribs out to 11 inches and also saved by using less that way. 2. I used 7 ft transitions with 8 ft of flat & it rides perfect & 4 ft decks. Smiths lock in real nice. 3. I wish there was more on this vid about the coping... I used 2 inch steel coping & notched out 1 inch on each template. By the top layer getting on, the coping sticks out a little bit more than I would like but its still good, if I had to do it again I would notch 1 & 1/4 inch back and 1 inch down. 4. Layer both the 1st & 2nd layer sideways. Water seal the entire flat on the 2nd layer. ***DRILL 1 to 1 & 1/2 inch holes along the seams of the flat where the top layer seams are going to be laying length wise. This helps any moisture drain through to the ground. (This tip was made via Tito @ Team Pain who sold me the ramp armor, THANKS TITO!) 5. Definitely use blocks & a level to get the ramp & tables as level as possible & up off the ground. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions. Now go build it!
