How to build a Mini Ramp Shed
[ Thanks to Michael Cheah in the UK ]
[ NOTE: this set of plans is also available as a word document ]
Michael:
we had no garage to put our ramp in, and the wind was too strong for us to just put a plastic sheet over (it would just blow a straight off) so me and my dad had an idea, and i designed a mini ramp that would fit in our garden, and that could also fold up into a shed to keep it dry from the rain snow etc... and the other good thing about it is you can put all of your skating stuff in it, and may be even a bike/2
