I am trying to build a basic summer setup in my backyard, and I need to start from scratch. Was wondering if anyone new what wood and/or turf I should use, and also maybe a basis for the dimensions.

i used some cheap 2x4's, i think my drop was 5 feet tall with a 6 foot ramp, 2 foot transition, 2 foot flat, and then the lip. I used a pallet for the platform on top. had plenty of speed with some pvc and construction fence on it.

This cult used to have lots of good info and pics of builds, it's pretty dead but you can still look through the old threads

I learned everything I needed there to make my setup

i used to have a swingset made from wood in my back yard. riped the slide off and sawed the swings away and used the platform as a drop in.

That's how mine started as well, definitely the move if you have an old swing set available

i actually used tarp on the down part of my ramp with soap and it was 10 times faster than turf. then i put turf on bottom/lip and it worked pretty well
