the only reason I came up with this is because the HDPE will be leftovers and I decided to make a wide box out of it and thought about how an HDPE drop-in would work.

the side view diagram at the top left is basically to scale besides the fact that I didn't have enough room to draw the platform to 5 ft high.

this is gonna be a temporary drop-in and will serve as a wide 8 ft box and hopefully will work as a stall when I make a proper, maybe bigger, drop-in. You think it'll work alright for a 16ft up flat box that I'm also making that's starting from around 12" high and ending at 2.5 feet high??

also the stall I was thinking about would be set up virtually the same as the drop-in, except using another drop-in to get speed and adding some coping at the top of the platform. i'm not sure at all how this would work.

the only problem I can think of when using it as a drop-in would be for snowboarders because of the metal in the middle, but fuck that.

oh, and another potential problem for the drop-in would be that I would eat shit and face plant going down. I dont know if the triangle thing I'm gonna stick under the box to ease the transition will work well enough...

that little triangle might be a bit sketchy. i would try and go for a smoother transition.

it's 60 degrees transitioning to 30 degrees. i saw the pic of the lss dropin and it's about the same angles although theirs is much larger.

If you make that out of hdpe you'll pick up some serious speed going down and you'll want a smoother transition so you don't break yourself.

you might want the drop in to be less steep
