Bring a road-style target into the line
The A-Frame Construction sign brings a road-style obstacle to launch-over practice. Pair it with a Wedge Ramp when that is the approach you want to skate, and use its forty-inch height as the target you plan around. The twenty-five-pound feature can move with the layout of your spot.
Add the construction-sign look
The Road Series A-Frame brings the familiar construction-sign form into a skate setup. Choose it when that street-style object is the target you want in your line. See the Road Series collection for other shapes to work into the spot.
Use a wedge approach for launch-over practice
The A-Frame can be paired with a Wedge Ramp for practice launching over the sign. Choose the placement around the approach and landing you intend to use. The ramp is a separate feature to consider for that line.
Plan the forty-inch target
The sign stands forty inches high, with a thirty-nine-inch width and twenty-eight-inch depth. Use those measurements to judge the target and mark its place in the line. Our Space and Fit guide helps you allow for the approach and landing beyond the sign itself.
Move it when the session changes
The A-Frame weighs twenty-five pounds and is designed to be portable. Reposition it as you change the line or put the spot away after skating. Choose a place for it between sessions so handling the sign fits the way you use the space.
Bring the feature to an outdoor spot
The materials are designed for outdoor use, making the A-Frame an option for sessions outside. Keep the sign's condition and placement in your setup checks as you use it. That gives the road-inspired feature a practical place in a changing outdoor line.

Shipping is free to the 48 contiguous states with no order minimum. Alaska and Hawaii require a shipping quote.
Place the 25-pound sign securely
The A-Frame Construction Sign is portable, but its 40-inch profile still needs level ground and a settled position before anyone skates around it. Move it between sessions, then keep the 39-by-28-inch base out of another obstacle's path.
Questions about A-Frame Skate Obstacle: Construction Sign
How does the A-Frame Skate Obstacle: Construction Sign compare with the Caution Skateboarding Sign?
The A-Frame is the larger, heavier roadwork obstacle at 40 inches high and 25 pounds. The Caution sign is a two-foot, two-pound plastic target. Choose the A-Frame when the setup can support a more substantial construction-sign form; choose Caution when very light handling and smaller storage matter more.
What should I consider when choosing the A-Frame as a trick target?
Use its forty-inch height and thirty-nine-by-twenty-eight-inch footprint to assess the target. Plan the approach and landing for the trick you intend to practice, including space for a separate Wedge Ramp if you use one.
When should I choose the A-Frame rather than a rail or ledge?
Choose the A-Frame for a construction-sign target to launch over. A rail or ledge serves grind-and-slide practice. Start with the trick you want to work on, then choose the feature that provides that target.
How can riders use the A-Frame Construction Sign?
Use it as a target for launch-over practice, including a line with a separate Wedge Ramp. Allow room for the intended approach and landing.
Can I return the A-Frame Skate Obstacle: Construction Sign if it is not the right fit?

Shipping & Product Info
Easily portable and light weight. All materials are designed for outdoor use.
The internet has all sorts of terrible ideas as to how to quiet or dampen the sound of your skateboard ramp - in particular the mini ramps (or halfpipes).
You may read about wives tales on using insulation, filling the coping with whatever, or add pillows and blankets behind the ramp. We are here to clear the air….that is all nonsense.
There are really only 2 suggestions to help quiet your mini ramp.
- You can close up the back of your skateboard ramp with ¾” thick plywood. This will eliminate the hollow sound significantly. Again, don’t read into the bogus information about filling in that empty space before you close it up with plywood. It doesn’t work. Simply closing up the backend will help with the noise. Some customers will get creative with it- we’ve seen several put hinges on the backend - making a custom door for storage, etc. That is entirely optional to make use of the space. But in terms of noise levels, close it up.
- Also using a softer gel wheel is helpful to give you the incognito vibe your neighbors won’t complain about while shredding your skateboard ramp. Generally the harder the wheel, the louder they hear ya coming! Many skaters have multiple skateboards with a different set of wheels, most prefer the harder wheels during normal street skating use & then at night we switch over to the gel softer wheels so your neighbor’s can get their precious sleep & you can shred your heart out! Not every skater likes riding a gel wheel. There are many pros/cons. For this conversation, the biggest pro for having a softer wheel is the reduced noise factor. If you have neighbors that are goin to be a narc, just throw on the soft wheels!
