Give that grind a longer ledge
There is a good feeling in locking into a grind and having room to stay with it. The 8 Foot Grind Box brings that longer ledge to your home setup, keeping the same nine-inch height as the shorter boxes. Build the pre-cut, pre-drilled kit, find your approach and give the trick you have been working on another run.
Stay with the trick for eight feet
The extra length is the reason to choose this box. Its eight-foot edge gives grinds and slides more distance to travel, while the broad top also opens up manual practice. At nine inches high and 19 inches deep, it keeps a low ledge profile. Think about whether you will use the whole length; the 6 Foot Grind Box is worth a look if the shorter line fits your space better.
Choose a spot for the full session
An eight-foot box needs more than an eight-foot opening. Leave enough pavement to approach, set your feet and ride away from the far end. The box weighs 68 pounds, so choose where it will live and plan any moves before assembling it. Our Space and Fit guide helps you measure the skating area alongside access and storage.
Put the kit together, then put it to use
The wood arrives pre-cut and pre-drilled, with assembly hardware and instructions with photos. Allow about 25 minutes for assembly as an estimate, with room to organize the long pieces and work through the instructions. You are building from a defined kit instead of starting with a design and a list of materials to source. Our Kit Assembly guide explains how to prepare.
Look after the wood between sessions
Galvanized metal and exposed plywood have different jobs on this box. The optional one-quart Skate Paint coats the wood; it does not add another riding-surface sheet or replace ongoing care. For an outdoor setup, think about protection and storage as part of the purchase. Our Ramp Care guide walks through what to inspect and maintain as the ledge gets used.
Add a ramped approach when you want one
The separately sold GB Kicker is designed to match the Grind Box's nine-inch height and 19-inch width. It gives you another way to approach the ledge when that fits the line you want to skate. With an eight-foot box already in place, map the kicker and the clear space around both pieces before adding it to your setup.

Questions about 8 Foot Grind Box
How does the 8 Foot Grind Box compare with the Green Monster Flat Rail?
The Grind Box is a nine-inch-high, 19-inch-deep wooden ledge with an eight-foot body. Green Monster uses a flat metal working profile, adjusts from 11 to 14 inches, weighs 25 pounds, and separates for moving. Choose the Grind Box for a broad low ledge; choose Green Monster when an adjustable, lighter rail better fits the session.
Can the 8 Foot Grind Box work with the GB Kicker?
Yes. The GB Kicker matches the Grind Box profile and can create an approach into the box. Because the eight-foot ledge already needs a longer lane, map the combined setup carefully before deciding that both pieces belong in the same spot.
How does the 8 Foot Grind Box compare with a shoe-box ledge?
The Grind Box provides a straightforward low rectangular ledge, while the éS and HUF Shoe Boxes use much larger branded bodies with coping on both sides. Choose the eight-foot box when working length matters more than a signature silhouette or double-sided shoe form.
What tricks can riders practice on the 8 Foot Grind Box?
Use the 8 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 8 Foot Grind Box if it is not the right fit?

Customized, used, skated, damaged, or incomplete products are not eligible, and freight, original shipping, processing costs, and a restocking fee may apply.

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!
