Mini Wall

Price: $250

The mini wall ride is a fun obstacle if you like to do wall rides, wall taps, or even stall on the top edge. This ramp should be supported from behind to prevent possibly tipping over. Or you can build a deck on top instead. Have fun building.

One 4'x8' sheet of 3/4" plywood
Five 4'x8' sheets of 3/8" plywood
Twenty-four 8' 2x4's
A bunch of screws and a drill
A pencil
A tape measure
Something to cut the pieces with
The required safety gear

Make the sides

First off, you will need to map out the sides of your design. These are the pieces that will be supporting the main structure of the ramp. You will use your 3/4" plywood for this. You should try to fit as many curves on one sheet of plywood as possible to avoid wasting valuable wood. To draw a good curve you should use the string-and-pencil method to draw your curves as it is better than trying your luck at freehand.

Attach top and bottom

Build your 8'x8' frame as seen in the picture.

Start framing the curve

Attach your studs a minimum of 8" apart so that you get enough strength out of it.

Finish framing the curve

Finish screwing on the 2x4's. Remember to put two 3" screws in each one.

frame the wall

Simply frame the wall the same way you have framed the curve.

Screw on the plywood

This part is pretty self-explanatory so I won't go over it in much detail. Basically, use your 1 1/2" screws to attach the plywood. Make sure your seems lay over top of a stud. You can always add more studs underneath if you can't get your seems to be over a stud.

do you think you could make the wall detachable so you can have it as a wall or a deck on it (quarter-pipe) or a kicker????

@jaybmx1234 Hmmm... You might be able to put the wall on some sore of heavy duty hinge mechanism, but I don't see it being easy.
