super helpful - i bought this and agree it's WAY sharper. however... i did notice that it's "not as smooth" if you drill first then countersink. When I countersink then drill it's butter smooth. Maybe my drill bit is bent? I prefer to stack panels, drill, then countersink because of the time savings (you can drill 8 panels at once). but when I "countersink then drill" on the deck it's noticeably smoother. Have you seen that at all? Wondering if there's a way to avoid this. thank you for posting these videos, they have been pure gold in helping me build my mini ramp.

Awesome... The DIY skatepark at 205 Hopkins Blvd in Biloxi,Ms. under a bridge just got some gaterskins ..So stoked...

The blade thickness you’re talking about.059 is close enough to be 1/16 =.0625. not1/8, 1/8= .125 😮😮😮

I have that blade and it’s the shit.

You da man, Garrett! Good info. I also went through a few countersink bits. Gator Skins is tough stuff!

This has to be the absolute best way to attach coping. I'm building a 3' mini right now, just followed this video on the first half, and I am very impressed. I kinda struggled with the drill angle but using a large washer helps distribute the load over the 2x4 so you can really crank it down. Coping feels way more snug than the sometimes questionable ramps I built growing up.

Does this still allow the ramp to breathe when sealing the seams like that? I heard you want to leave a 1/16" gap between seams for breathing. Does this affect that?

If painting the transition frames, will that sealant work overtop paint?

Great info! Definitely going to do this to add longevity. If I'm putting 2 (3/8") base layers down before the Gatorskins, should I do this to each base layer or just the top/2nd base layer (just under the Gatorskins)?

What’s the difference between Thompson’s weather seal and SkatePaint that is sold for way more money? Ideally I would like to go with the cheaper option but what am I missing?

I'm getting an indoor ramp soon and am hoping to set it up in my backyard. Do you have any videos or recommendations on setting up a cinderblock footing for the base of the ramp? I'm in Arizona. Mesa to be exact.

What is that metal spacer separating the sheets?

thankyou mate! awesome. im builin one for my daughter and didnt know how to do the coping so really appreciate. awesome

If you're unable to get gator skins, do you feel these steps will do a solid job of preserving your ramp? Thank you for sharing ✌️

Any reason why I shouldn't paint the plywoods bottom and 2x4s prior to install?

hi witch size is recommended for the pipe? TY in advace! great video

Lock washer or aviation nut might be an idea. Good vid!

Dimensions on that ramp? Specifically the flatbottom? Thanks.

this works SO well

💞Wow🤍🤍🤍💜💜💜🤍💜

it looks like you've got two pieces of 1/4 in together here (6 plys) not 3/4 in ply right?

From the father of GATORSKIN to you thanks for shredding

Great tips and on point. Thanks for sharing. I'm originally from U.K now living in the Philippines and I'm planning to build an outdoor ramp here int he next couple of months. We also have monsoon season as well as temperatures up to 38 degrees so all this information was really helpful for me. Thanks!

Gotta sell your soul to sheath a ramp with this stuff . Then youve gotta give a testicle for delivery ! $180 - $200 a sheet . Fuuuuuuck

⛽️ more of this please

Excellent tutorial on weatherproofing wood ramps. My mother just had three indoor and one outdoor ramp for (cane, walker and wheelchair) accessibility at her home. The wood is unfinished and I will use both the DAP 40 year waterproof caulking and the Thompson's WaterSeal to all the ramps. Thank you!

where do you buy those screws though? Home Depot and Amazon do not seem to have them😕

best build video.

best tutorial for building ramp/pipe.

Yeah! Way to represent Earthless! And 6 years ago too!

Just sprayed flex seal.

What gauge n length screw for gator skins Framing and sheeting do you suggest

Do you guys tarp before big storms / winter seasons after weatherizing ramps that have gator skins? Wasn't sure if it's overkill or if humidity / moisture stuck under the tarp would do more damage than good.

Love the Down in the background. Nice deep cut

Great video. I would add a lock washer to that J bolt on the nut side. That would eliminate any chance of backing off over time and use.

Please share the blueprints to the wasbai ramp!

Best advice out there! Thanks

Thanks man. Great vid. What do you think is the best type of plywood to use? 👌

Beautiful work

LOVE THIS EDIT!! :D

Smart way to avoid holes on the showing side

First time seeing the j bolt method, genius

great review from a legend

Blueprint plans for this ramp please!

Hi guy's Would love the plans for this ramp please 🙂

Hate to be that guy. use a Tek screw through a pre drilled guide hole. Much easier and never comes undone.

Great video. Can I have the design and construction dimensions of your backyard yard please

Miniramp 2' and 1/2, what radius you would recommend?

Great tips! Would you apply the Thompson's water seal on the top surface that you ride on? Curious about how the finish will feel as I wouldn't want the ramp to be too slippery
