Pit bike style ramp install#
Install the base plateįor the last step, turn the bike ramp upside down so you can install the base plate. You can use several screws to guarantee that the ramp deck installation is stable. Make sure that the deck is installed properly on the frame. You can drill a hole through the deck passing through one of the cross beams. Ensure that the back side of the deck is steady. You can install your newly cut ramp deck and align it on the ramp frame. The last components you should attach are the deck and the base plate. After the installation, the assemblage should be solid and sturdy. Repeat the process for the rest of the cross beams. You can use screws to make sure that the beam and supports are attached properly. Check that the cross beams fit into the slot on the vertical supports. You can use screws to attach the vertical supports into the bottom beam.Īfter you install the vertical supports, put the horizontal cross beams on top. Ensure that the supports have enough spacing and are lined up. Then, screw the outer area of the vertical supports into the bottom cross beam. You can now put these parts together.įor this process of building a bike ramp, you have to look for an even and clean surface. Assemble all the pieces togetherīy this point, you should have the major components of your bike ramp – cross beams, vertical supports, deck, and base plate. The base place should be able to extend up to 10” beyond the bike ramp. For the base plate, cut the plywood to be 24” wide and 34” long. With a base plate, the ramp will be kept in place.
Pit bike style ramp portable#
Since it is a portable ramp, you have to ensure that the ramp will not sway or move when you use it.
You can use a table saw or circular saw for this process. For the bike ramp’s deck, cut the plywood into 24” in width and 26” in length. Make the bike ramp deckĪfter you have built the foundation of your homemade bike ramp through the cross beams and vertical support, proceed to deck cutting. Then, place the 23” beam support you cut earlier horizontally at the back while providing enough spacing for the vertical supports. It will guarantee that your bike ramp’s foundation is solid and will not separate while in use. Ensure that the beams and vertical supports have the correct fitting so they can interlock. Start cutting the slots using a jigsaw.įit the slots to your cross beams and adjust them accordingly. Outline the cross beam so the three slots can accommodate the cross beam properly. Once you have identical vertical supports, cut slots for the cross beam support.įor the slots, you should find three points on the curve – top, middle, and bottom. Repeat this process for the rest of the rectangles you cut from the plywood. Then, sketch a curve on one side to create the foundation of the bike ramp.Īfter you sketch a curve, you can use a jigsaw and cut a curve by tracing the sketch you made. Make sure that you cut three rectangles from the same plywood. You can start by cutting the plywood into rectangles with a measurement of 24”x12”. Ensure that each of the vertical supports have the same measurements. You need a total of three vertical supports to make a good quality bike ramp. Then, proceed to cutting the vertical supports. Then, cut an extra support beam around 23” long for the bottom edge on the back. Cut them into a desired length of 24” until you make three beams. The wood pieces support the ramp deck by locking the vertical supports together.įor this step, saw the 2x4x10 in half. To make a bike ramp, it is important to have three cross beam supports.
