Give your next grind room to run
When four feet feels too short for the line you have in mind, the 6 Foot Grind Box adds length without adding height. Its nine-inch-high ledge gives you room to work on grinds, slides and manuals at home. The pre-drilled kit includes wood, metal parts, hardware and photo instructions, putting the build within reach without asking you to design it from scratch.
Put two more feet into your ledge session
Compared with the four-foot box, this model adds two feet of length while keeping the same nine-inch height and 19-inch depth. That gives a grind, slide or manual more distance to travel, without moving to a taller obstacle. Choose the extra length for the tricks and approaches you want to practice, rather than assuming the biggest box is always the best fit.
Leave room before and after the ledge
Six feet describes the box, not the full skating area. Plan the roll-up, space to set up your trick and a clear landing beyond it. The box weighs 45 pounds, so think through where it will stay between sessions and how you will move it when needed. Our Space and Fit guide helps you check the complete line alongside the other uses of your space.
Spend the build putting parts together
OC Ramps supplies the wood components, galvanized metal parts, assembly hardware and photo instructions in one kit. Pre-drilled parts and an assembly estimate of about 20 minutes make this a different project from drawing plans and gathering materials yourself. If you are deciding how much of the build you want to take on, our DIY, Kit or Custom guide compares the choices.
Make wood protection part of the purchase
The optional one-quart Skate Paint comes with the kit when selected, giving you a coating for the exposed wood. It does not change the ledge's dimensions or add a separate surface panel. For an outdoor setup, plan how you will protect and store the box as well as where you will skate it. Our Ramp Care guide covers the upkeep that belongs alongside regular sessions.
Build a line around the longer box
A longer ledge can anchor a setup without being the only way you skate it. The separately sold GB Kicker is designed to pair with OC Ramps grind boxes, offering a ramped approach when that suits your session. Start with the line you want to ride and leave room for the approach and exit before adding the next obstacle.

Questions about 6 Foot Grind Box
How does the 6 Foot Grind Box compare with Cody McEntire's American Bench?
Both are six feet long, but the Grind Box is a nine-inch-high rectangular ledge that weighs 45 pounds. Cody McEntire's American Bench stands 14 inches high, weighs 60 pounds, and uses a Butter working surface. Choose the Grind Box for a lower standard ledge; choose the signed bench when its taller form and Butter surface fit the session.
Can the 6 Foot Grind Box connect with the GB Kicker?
Yes. The GB Kicker matches the Grind Box at nine inches high and 19 inches wide, creating an optional approach into the longer ledge. Plan enough pavement for both products, complete each build, and make sure the joined route stays level and clear before riding.
How does the 6 Foot Grind Box fit into a mixed obstacle setup?
Its middle length can provide a substantial ledge without taking the full lane demanded by the eight-foot box. It works best when the surrounding setup needs a dedicated low edge and still has room for a rail, kicker, or transition to keep a separate route.
What tricks can riders practice on the 6 Foot Grind Box?
Use the 6 Foot Grind Box for ledge skills such as 50-50 grinds, boardslides, noseslides, and ollies on or off the obstacle. Where the top and geometry support it, riders can also work on manuals and nose manuals.
Can I return the 6 Foot Grind Box 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.

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!
