How Do You Make A 5-Foot Half Pipe?
A half pipe is a double slope used in extreme sports. Skateboarders, skiers and others go back and forth between the two slopes. The half pipe is so-called because it resembles half a pipe placed on the ground. The measurement refers to the height of the two slopes, so a 5-foot half pipe is 5 feet high at each end. Step 1 Select a clear area of ground. Make sure your location is perfectly flat. Half pipes typically consist of two even slopes and a flat area in-between. Each slope is a quarter pipe. This means that the 5 feet in height represents a quarter of a full circle. The two slopes will be 10 feet apart. Start by building a frame for your half pipe. Step 2 Make the central space in your frame out of 2 by 4’s. Join them together in the form of a lattice. There should be two long beams on the outside and one in the middle. Using the wood screws, attach crosspieces between each of the long beams. Place these crossbeams about a foot apart. Step 3 Construct the slopes by first drawing
