The original and the best. We can also special order sheets in 4x1 4x1 5xor 5x12. Skatepaint is the only paint that has been formulated for the sole purpose of wood skate ramps. Skatelite uses both ethanol and methanol as a solvent in the. Please call for product availability and a shipping quote.
However, it is very expensive. Your ramp will most likely be going outdoors permanently. If this is your scenario, you will need to use Pressure treated lumber and plywood. I was hoping to come up with a DIY solution that would make the exterior grade plywood last a while. I wondered if I could use a hardwood plywood on top instead of masonite, oil it, and then use some kind of varnish to seal it.
Its weather resistant, but costs around $1per sheet. It makes the surface nice and smooth (not my opinion, but too slipery to some). Richlite is water-resistant, sanitary, has low moisture absorption, heat and fire resistant, extraordinarily dense and durable, and has a natural appeal due to its paper construction.
DURABLE High impact resistance, deflective and flexural strength and structural capabilities make Richlite an extremely durable material. Wood won’t last forever, so protect it with a skate-friendly sealant such as Skatepaint, which is a polyurethane sealant that protects from water. Protect your ramp from rain and the elements by giving it a smooth finish with sealant. Klippert is the sales-and-marketing director at Rainier Richlite Co. Washington-state wood -product supplier.

All of their ramps are made from wood —they are stronger and more durable than any other ramps. But get ready to replace it once it gets a good soaking. We used treated wood to build this pipe, which protects the ramp from the sun and rain. If you are building your pipe outdoors, you will also want to do this.
I realize many people will not be surfacing with skatelite like we di so you will need to read about your other options here. These products are specifically manufactured for the outdoors and harshness of skating in which any type of paint would not hold up. Ramps and bowls that skate like ice rinks suck! For the past years, we’ve spent way too much $$ and time to try to mop the deadly high-sheen gloss off of skate ramps, only to end up with rolled ankles and broken wrists for a status quo product offered by the “establishment brand”. It’s time to change the game because skateboarding is the best damn thing in life and we deserve it!
During its manufacture, the contents are heated hotter than the seven hills of hell, at which point the wood and plastic molecules flow together. Once coole they form a super-strong sheet material perfect for ramp surfaces. This is where the backyard halfpipe experience begins!
Unlike other ramp companies, who are selling unprotected raw plywood (soon to be splinters and rotten wood ), we are offering a fully EXTERIOR ramp. In case you are using plywood or masonite, protect the surface from rainfall with a water-resistant paint. Skatepaint works on ALL types of wood - Masonite is not a real wood , so no. We also do not recommend using Masonite for any outdoor ramp.
Use an exterior smooth sanded plywood instead. Masonite is a glorified cardboard–most of the composite materials are not wooden. I see spots that didn’t absorb the Skatepaint on my ramp, what happened?
