5 feet high enough for a drop in?

Alright, so my backyard set up just doesn't cut it, so Im making some really nice boxes and I need a good drop in. Im planning on making it 5 feet high around 3x3 at the top, and the ramp going down would be about a 45 deg angle and 2 feet wide. I plan on making it so the drop in is portable so I can use it for urban. Is it high enough to get on a 1.5 foot tall box using astroturf and sometimes snow? thanks in advance.

5 should do you fine. I use a 6ft one, it is more the enough for most features

ya, mines like 5 feet and a 8 foot long down ramp(i just used a peice of ply wood for it and supports on the back so it doesnt snap) and carpet ontop of it. and i have a 2.5 foot up rail the ends at like 3 feet high and its 12 feet long and i have enough speed for it when there is snow. but if there was no snow i wouldnt have enough speed, but i would have enough speed for my box (2 feet high/flat/12 feet long) if i watered down the inrun. look in my gallery if you want to see some pics of my drop in
