Bring the session home
A few runs before dinner. Another try at the trick you nearly landed yesterday. The Garage Mini Ramp gives you a place to skate on your own schedule, with three widths to help you plan a setup around your space. OC Ramps supplies the kit and photo instructions, with surface options and help planning a custom build if the standard ramp is not the right fit.
Make more room for everyday skating
A home ramp can turn a short break into a session without the drive to the skatepark. Think about who will use it and how the space works on an ordinary day. The right setup leaves room for the ramp, clear access around it and the other ways you use your garage or backyard.
Choose the width that fits your space
The Garage Mini Ramp comes in 8-, 12- and 16-foot widths. The standard eight-foot model stands 26 inches tall and measures 15 feet 8 inches long. Mark out the selected configuration before ordering, including room to enter and exit. Our Space and Fit guide walks you through the measurements so you can plan beyond the ramp's footprint.
Understand your plywood, paint and surface options
Two plywood riding layers are included. Skate Paint is a protective coating for exposed wood; it is not another sheet of riding surface. Skatelite Pro is an optional riding-surface upgrade that goes over the plywood. These choices serve different jobs: protect exposed plywood with Skate Paint, or choose the separate Skatelite Pro surface option. Any wood left exposed still needs appropriate protection and care.
Build from prepared parts, not a blank sheet
The kit includes pre-cut, pre-drilled parts, assembly hardware and photo instructions. You handle assembly without starting by cutting every ramp part yourself. Clear your work area and organize the pieces before you begin. Prefer help with the build? Explore OC Ramps installation services to discuss your location and project.
Need a different fit? Talk custom builds
If the standard widths do not suit your space or you have a different layout in mind, OC Ramps also builds custom skateparks. Share the space you have, who will skate it and what you want to do. That gives the team a useful starting point for discussing a build around your project.

Questions about Garage Mini Ramp Kit
How does the Garage Mini Ramp Kit compare with the 8 Foot Wide Half Pipe?
At eight feet wide, the Garage Mini Ramp is 26 inches tall and 15 feet 8 inches long. The 8 Foot Wide Half Pipe is 3.5 feet tall, 22 feet 8 inches long, and can add one 5-foot corner. Garage includes two plywood riding layers and does not offer GatorSkins; the taller model starts with one plywood layer and offers both premium sheets. Choose by transition, length, and surface path.
How much Skatelite Pro and Skate Paint comes with each Garage Mini Ramp width?
Skatelite Pro uses four sheets at 8 feet wide, six at 12 feet, and eight at 16 feet. With Skatelite selected, paint for exposed plywood is one quart at 8 or 12 feet and one gallon at 16 feet. For the included plywood surface, the paint amounts are one gallon at 8 feet and two gallons at 12 or 16 feet.
What can riders practice on the Garage Mini Ramp Kit?
Use the Garage Mini Ramp Kit for repeated transition runs and progression on skills such as kickturns, rock-to-fakies, axle stalls, and linking tricks from wall to wall. The exact progression should match the rider's ability, the selected transition, and the clear skating area around the ramp.
How much room should I plan around the Garage Mini Ramp Kit?
Start with the assembled dimensions for the selected width, height, corner, and surface configuration. Then leave a clear approach, roll-away, deck access, and enough working room for assembly and maintenance. Confirm the actual site before ordering; the listed product footprint alone is not the same as a complete skating-area plan.
Can I return the Garage Mini Ramp Kit if it is not the right fit?
Eligible unused products may be requested for return within 30 calendar days of purchase when they are in original condition and packaging with all included parts and manuals. Customized, used, skated, damaged, or incomplete products are not eligible, and freight, original shipping, processing costs, and a restocking fee may apply. Review the current OC Ramps Return Policy before ordering.
Can OC Ramps build a custom version of the Garage Mini Ramp Kit?
Yes. If the standard width, height, transition, or corner layout does not fit the site or intended riding, start with OC Ramps' Custom Builds page. Share the usable footprint, rider needs, desired transition, access, and location so the project can be evaluated as a custom build instead of forcing a standard kit into the wrong space.

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!
