A six-foot box when more ledge distance matters
The 6 Foot Grind Box is a nine-inch-high, 19-inch-deep ledge weighing 45 pounds and a one-quart Skate Paint option. It is for a rider who wants two more feet of working length than the compact four-foot version without committing to the eight-foot box.
Six feet changes the working distance
The 6 Foot Grind Box measures 6 feet long. That additional length is its main advantage over a compact four-foot box. Pick it when more usable ledge distance matters enough to justify a larger footprint in the available skate space.
A low nine-inch ledge profile
The 6 Foot Grind Box measures 9 inches high and 19 inches deep. Those dimensions keep the ledge's profile low while the six-foot length supplies more working distance. The feature needs an open approach and exit, not only room for its rectangular body.
Forty-five pounds balances length and movement
At 45 pounds, the 6 Foot Grind Box sits between the shorter and longer box formats in portability. It can be repositioned with planning, but its six-foot length deserves a stable placement. Pick it when that balance suits the session.
Pre-drilled parts support the longer build
The 6 Foot Grind Box has pre-drilled parts, keeping assembly focused on joining the longer ledge instead of creating a drilling plan from scratch. Follow the supplied instructions, keep the six-foot working edge straight, and make sure the completed box rests level before use.
A one-quart paint option for the plywood
One quart of Skate Paint is available for the 6 Foot Grind Box's exposed plywood. That option is about caring for this longer wooden ledge. Select it when the outdoor-use plan calls for coating the wood, not as a default accessory.
What's in the Box
- One 6 Foot Grind Box kit with product-specific wood, galvanized metal parts, hardware, and photo instructions
- One quart of Skate Paint only when selected

About 20 minutes to assemble
The 6 Foot Grind Box arrives pre-drilled and takes about 20 minutes to assemble. At 45 pounds, it can move between a garage and street spot with planning, but it should stay settled during use.
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.

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!
