The first thing you need to decide is where you want the ramp. Indoor ramps often suffer from lack of space or headroom. If you have a 4ft. ramp you will be needing at least 11ft floor to ceiling. The benefit of indoor ramps is that its protected from the weather. Outdoor ramps are most common. The main concern with those is how to protect it from rain or snow. The most popular surface material is masonite, but thats only popular because its easy to find and its cheap. It does not hold up to water so it must be covered with a tarp. There are synthetic sheets of riding surface materials but those are very pricey.
The size of the ramp is up to the funds and space available. A 4ft high, 8ft wide and 27ft long ramp is most common because its big enough to have a lot of fun and the lumber sizes available dictate the sizes of the ramp.
It isn't difficult to build a ramp. Young teenagers can build a ramp in as little as one day, providing they have adequate plans. All the materials are usually in stock at any Home Depot or Lowes.
