Fingerboard Grind Box combines high-grade lumber with galvanized metal in a preassembled ledge-style obstacle for slides, grinds, and a setup that can move between spots.
A ledge built for grinds and slides
The Grind Box is a low ledge-style obstacle for grinds and slides. Its compact height supports repeated approaches without adding a transition wall or stair set to the course. Choose it when a dedicated metal-topped target would add more value than another launch or balance feature.
High-grade lumber plus metal
High-grade lumber and galvanized metal form the box and its grind surface. The two materials are the real construction difference behind the obstacle's intended trick use. The metal top and lumber base give the ledge a distinct build from a wood-only obstacle.
Move it into a larger setup
The compact shape is easy to move between fingerboard spots. That portability matters when a desk or tabletop course changes often and one obstacle needs to earn multiple positions. It can become the first or last feature in a changing tabletop course.
When is Fingerboard Grind Box a better choice than Butter Bench?
Choose Grind Box when a low box with a galvanized-metal grind surface is the missing target. Choose Butter Bench when a recognizable lumber bench silhouette matters more than the metal top. Both are ledge-focused, so the useful distinction is surface and shape rather than assuming one automatically supports every tabletop trick better.
When is Grind Box the wrong first obstacle?
It is the wrong first piece when the rider mainly wants air, transition, or manual practice. A Bump Ramp, Quarter Pipe, or Manny Pad would solve those jobs more directly. Start with Grind Box only when slides and grinds are likely to get repeated use, not simply because a low box is easy to fit.
What should another obstacle add beside Grind Box?
Add a piece that changes movement, height, or approach rather than another low grind surface by default. A transition can add vertical movement, while a bump can create an air-focused entry or departure. The box should remain the dedicated slide target in a course where every added object has a different job.

What to Expect
We have two teams working around the clock to mass produce the beloved kits that are in high demand, after all we service ALL skaters worldwide! The fabrication time in our warehouse starts when you place the order as the information prints out directly to our team to start production. After the kit is created, the next process is actual transit time. We work with several carriers for a variety of our products to help cut down on transit times and delays.
Our Quarter Pipe kits (4ft wide Quarter Pipe & larger), Half Pipes, and sheets of GatorSkins or Skatelite Pro all ship on a double size pallet (4ft wide x 8ft long) via freight carrier. As the double sized pallet leaves our warehouse, the freight carrier will then begin the transit process to get your order over to your local delivery terminal. As your shipment arrives in your local area, the freight carrier will have an appointment setter call you directly to schedule an appointment for delivery. Just like when you book an appointment with the cable company, you will be given a 4 – 8-hour window of delivery.
The freight driver will then arrive at your residential delivery address on the day of your scheduled appointment. Please note that this will be a curbside delivery. The driver will not be able to pull into your driveway or any other requested area on your property. You will want to be sure to have 2 – 3 able-bodied adults, in total, at your place of residence during the delivery window to assist with the unloading of this pallet. Provided the size and weight of these shipments, a liftgate is not permitted and drivers are unable to assist with any of the hand unloading process. The pallet is easy to breakdown to execute a hand unloading process with yourself and a few additional helping hands.
The entire unloading process may seem daunting however it is a fairly simple process that can be executed within 10 – 20 minutes! Please keep in mind that delays may occur with the delivery. We understand that this can be frustrating. If you experience a missed appointment, please reach out to us and our team is happy to help.
If you notice any damages or issues with the order upon receiving, please proceed with accepting the shipment, but notate on the delivery receipt by stating “DAMAGE” when signing the delivery receipt. You do not need to itemize any material which was damaged when accepting the shipment. Once your shipment has been unloaded and signed, please email our team directly with the damage(s), proof of signed delivery receipt which has been notated as damaged along with full length pictures of the material which was damaged. We will work on resolving the issue immediately.
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!
