So I get to build a 'skate park' in my backyard...

My parents are allowing me to build a couple ramps and quarter pipes to make my own 'skate park' in my backyard. Thing is, I don't know WHAT to build and how to build it. I have ideas but I don't know if they are good or not. I just wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions.

Here are some specks:

My backyard is 51' L x 44'10" W.

The space in the backyard I get to use is:
38'11" L x 16'3" W.

Made a little pic in paint real fast

xD

What ever happened to the 'Defy Gravity' with magnets idea in your backyard?

Well that is still going, I bought some magnets for the mini scale test. Now I just gotta DO the mini scale test.

what with the narrow space, i'd personally have a box or some sort of rail in the middle, and a quarter pipe at the end. sizes are up to you, but you could probably build boxes of different heights and move them around. maybe have a hole in the middle of the cement, and one of the edges of a box be made out of a pipe with some overhang, so you can put the pipe in the hole so it stays there.

I ran into a problem...

Originally my dad had said we would remove that tree house so I didn't see it as a problem, now my dad says we CANT remove it...

build around it put some ramps between so you can jump to the other side have one side a quater pipe and there other some random stuff you can move around so you can decide how it is.

I recently built a mini ramp in my backyard. that took alot of work and money. unless you have alot of time/money i suggest you focus on something a little more scaled down skate park. maybe just a mini ramp or a quarter pipe with a funbox or rail.

just throwing some suggestions, and good luck on your construction.

I'll bring the soda

also ya i didn't consider money if you don't have that i suggest maybe a quarter pipe and maybe some little ramps on the side. if i dont make sense it's because i dont skate board i might try it in a little bit. but i tried it once but i stank at it.

I didn't actually mean a whole skate park. I was planning on putting in these things:

A staircase with six stairs, and enough room to go fast enough.
A rail
A set of ramps like this:

lol more paint pictures...
and a quarter pipe.

I know it will cost a lot of money, but I have just enough from playing moola all the time.

Seriously though... this seems like... one of those things you do when your like 8 and not exactly smart...

I have 63 cents unfortunately, i got greedy at $40 dollars and decided to bet it all, and i lost it

. But my allowance is 40 bucks every 2 weeks, and i have been saving up so i have about $200 right now.

But yea, moola got really easy for me so im good at it now. :]

or what would be cool is if you just built over it like build a quarter pipe and then make it to where it leads to the top of the treehouse and then you could put some kickers off of it that lead down to a funbox or something.

PIXX

Thats the shed on the left in the second picture. Those are pic's of the space I get to use. You can kind of see the leg of tree house in the first pic.

Edit:

Tis the tree house:

You look like you don't have a enough room, it most likely won't be worth it. I'd say build a portable rail/ramp, and just put it on the street.
