Now the site a beautiful home in Essex, CT, this custom built “Sapia” half pipe serves as a reminder of a decade of fun.
Simple in construction, the half pipe is a made of 2 x 4 construction sheathed with pressure treated plywood sitting on 4 x 4 posts. A series of 2 x 4 cross member, which can be seen on the end of the structure, were positioned to accept the curve of the the 3 layer plywood deck. PVC coping secured at the top the ramp provides a finishing touch. The ramp is flanked by two landing decks, one with a ladder that was seldom used.
Those were great days.
