How Do You Make A Skateboard Ramp Waterproof?
Skateboard ramps come in all shapes and sizes and include half pipes, quarter pipes, launch ramps, boxes, table tops and others. Ramps make skateboarding possible in remote areas, fun in urban areas and add depth and dimension to the sport. Ramps can also be very costly to maintain depending on the size of the ramp and whether the ramp is kept indoor or outdoor. Waterproofing a ramp can add years to its life and save money in costly repairs. Add a layer of tar paper underneath the top layer of the ramp. Tar paper can be an effective way of keeping moisture from seeping into deeper layers of your ramp. Remove the outermost layer of Masonite or Skatelite on your ramp. Add a layer of tar paper. Resurface the ramp with a fresh layer of Masonite or Skatelite. Add a layer of Skatelite surfacing to the ramp. Skatelite is highly durable, waterproof and is the industry standard material for surfacing ramps. Skatelite can be purchased at special retailers or online at skatelite.com. Skatelite co
