The (UN)OFFICIAL How to make a descent Summer Setup

Online

First of all, this is not my work, however i have made one after these prints, not excactly, but with some adjustments. All credit goes to the swedes that made this, and i found this really helpful on a swedish forum. Here goes

This is a tutorial that shows how a boy, his dad and his brother made this setup

What you need by hand is:

Time to build for about 12-16 Hours

Price: around 80$, depends on how much material you have already

Amount of planks: 85 metres (60 if you dont build the stairs) (I didnt, made another solution) (I (OP) used drill with screws instead, much less work for sure)

Tools: Hammers, nails, saw ( electrical is much, MUCH useful) measuring tools, something to draw with, scissors.

Material: Planks

primarily 5x10 Cm

with some 2x10 planks

13,5 meters of 2x5 planks

Turf / artificial grass

Start by building the drop- in tower

1. Start by making the drop in tower with 5x10 CM planks

Step 2

When you've done that, nail the top with 3 planks in the center and nail it to a 1x1.10 meter plank. ( i just used random planks and nailed the turf over at the end)

Step 3

Now your gonna start building the ramp for your drop in. place two 3.6 meter planks as shown below

Step 4

When thats done, make some supporting pillars

Step 5

Now you're gonna make the curve, you can customize this as you want, make it how you want it, but heres what i did:

Step 6

When the curve shape is finished, start making the jump, with as much kick you need for your rail / how you want it

Step 7

Now curve the jump so it will be smooth to ride on

Step 8

(no pics :( ) Now nail planks through the entire inrun, close enough to eachother so you wont catch an edge. Then you make some support planks for your first tower contruction by nailing planks to each pillar.

Step 10 (step 9 is up there)

When you've done all of this, saw off the sides of the ramp, so that the ramp is straight (ignore this step if you use turf only on the top, and not around the sides of the ramp) Tie a string to the top of the ramp like shown, so you make sure everything is straight. Then saw the excess edges off.

Step 11

Put the turf on as you'd like, and nail it to the wood.

Step 12

Now your drop in is almost ready! nail some planks to the sides of the turf so its more pleasant to look at. (You can also see what i meant earlier by supporting your first tower in this pic)
