My uncle and I started 8:30 Saturday morning and finished 5:00 Saturday evening. Walla comp ramp complete.

looks pretty good man. How much did all the materials cost?

I have 100 feet of 2x2 1/8 inch wall tubing at 1.86 a foot, 20 feet of 2x2 1/4 inch wall tubing at 2.83 a foot and I had a connection for 1x1.5 that I used for the deck and the cross bracing. If you look at the pictures I just made a T bar at every seam of the sheeting and added extra cross bracing to make up for the difference for not using 1.5x1.5. Also 5 sheets of 5/8 OSB at 11.00 a sheet and 22.00 for the graphite paint. The tracks I got for free from some junked sleds I have connections to also. At the end of the day I only have about 300.00 into it. If I would of had to buy the rest of the steel it probably would have cost another 150.00 to 200.00 more.

where did u get the cut list from? was thinking of building one but can find a cut list anywhere

I didn't use a cut list. I took the general measurments of lenght and height for the framing of the comp ramp and took the 1x1.5, used 2x2 tubing as a brace to form a 27 inch flat spot on the tip of the ramp, had another person hold it in place on the frame while pushing it into the center of the frame to create the arch and used a angle finder to set the final angle and took side measurments from that and cut both sides of the bracings identical and welded them in the exact same place on both sides. The bracing just has to be located close enough to support the force, it doesn't have to be in exactly the same location as SCS's plans.

oki thought that might work but wasn't too sure. i haven't hit a ramp yet but plan on makin one soon and figured this would be the one to start out on

how did you get the steel to curve like that? did cut into it. im tying to a get steel would 1 1/2 by 1 1/2 thick walled work or should a stick with 2 by 2?

Guy

what lengths of steel tubing did you get before cutting...are 8' lengths too small, like to weld together for the long sections?

1x1.5 was easy to curve with just some muscle and a come along. I think 1.5x1.5 thick wall would hold up vey well. Just add extra bracing if you think you need it in any questionable spots.

I got all the tubing in 20 foot lenghts and cut it down to lenght. The runners for the frame are over 16 feet long so I would cut three sections equal lenght and weld those togehter to make your runners. My only concern is keeping the runners straight and square when welding them togheter.
