At TrueRide we strive to construct the best quality outdoor wood ramps in the industry. 11 Wood is Good! Homes, playgrounds, furniture, city park structures and countless other quality products are built with wood and for good reasons. Wood is a proven material that has been used for centuries in all II types of outdoor construction. Wood is a renewable resource and is the most abundantly used construction material. Wood is the least expensive material for skate park construction, but it is also one of the best. Because of the construction characteristics of wood we are able to ensure our Ill ramps are built right and perfect to skate on with just the right amount of give. Most skaters prefer to ride on wood ramps. Today's pressure treated wood products have lifetime warrantees and are designed to last many years in all types of outdoor climates. Wood allows TrueRide to custom design ramps to fit our clients needs and also adapt our designs to meet this rapidly changing sport. II Metal framed ramps are more expensive to build and not necessarily longer lasting or stronger than our wooden framed ramps. Wood ramps can allow for semi portability of skating equipment. Wood is consistent, renewable, affordable, long lasting, and a good choice for skate park III construction. Proven Designs: I With our extensive experience building skate parks you can expect to get the right equipment for your skate park and for the budget you have to work with. With the help of Computer Assisted Design (CAD) we create a conceptual layout of your desired skate park. This allows you to see U your skate park on paper and to make changes before it's built. The equipment designs we use at TrueRide Inc. are state of the art in the industry. With ten years of equipment design and construction under our tool belts our ramps have proven to be precisely what skaters want. We know how to build half pipes and street style equipment for professional riders and the beginner and our equipment can be used by skateboarders, in -line skaters, and BMX bikers. All equipment designs have been perfected and skated to ensure our ramps will feel right to the skater as well as rim last longer. We will recommend pieces that work together and we design each layout with safety in mind. TmeRide offers both consultation and CAD services as a free service to our clients. i Construction: "If it's not right, it's wrong!": II TrueRide Inc. builds only high quality, safe, and durable outdoor skate park equipment. TrueRide ramps are constructed using the highest quality exterior grade materials we can find. All ramps are framed in 6' widths with 2" x 6" treated Southern Yellow Pine studs spaced every 8" on center and fastened with 3" exterior grade screws. The sides of the ramps are 3/4" Marine Tech plywood. Two layers of 1/2" treated plywood are glued and fastened with 2" galvanized screws to the face of all radius styled ramps. Decks and Box Tops get one layer of 3/4 inch Marine Tech plywood also screwed and glued to all studs. We have found our ramps built in 6' widths have greater rigidity and greatly increased strength. All ramps are bolted together during installation to create a one piece design that is incredibly sturdy. On cement pads we also anchor the ramps to the pad with heavy -duty sleeve bolts. We build safety railings extremely sturdy with 4" x 4" treated
