SKATEPARKS

What to consider before ordering a skatepark?

A well functioining skateparks is more than just randomly distributed combinations of elements, therefore we advise to consider the following before purchase.

Skatepark users:

• Who will use the new skatepark?
• What is the intensity of use of the planned park?
• What age and skill level group is the park planned for?
• What will be the main sports equipment used in the new skatepark (BMX, skateboard, scooter or roller skates)?

The needs of users of the planned skatepark:

• Consultation with young people is a great help in the design of the park. The skatepark users really know which elements they would most like to see in the park and which are the most popular. If young users are given the opportunity to participate in the design of the skatepark, they will also take care of the integrity of the park.

Budget for the planned skatepark:

• Consultation with experts: experts (skatepark designer and constructor) should be consulted on the skatepark elements proposed by the future users. The skatepark designer can design and the contractor can place the selected elements in the available area within the budget constraints, and can also ensure that the park is usable and safe.

• Rules for the use of the park: The rules of use of the skatepark should be taken into account at the planning stage. It is recommended that the skatepark is equipped with an informational board with the following information:
  • rules for using the ramp
  • the name and contact details of the skatepark operator
  • contact details for ambulance, police and fire department

Technical description

High-quality hardened torx screws of 6×40-90 mm shall be used for all junctions.

1. A. The screw heads are countersunk into the surface to ensure safe use.
2. The wooden spacers are 45×95 mm cross-section, dried, impregnated and planed. The ends of the planks have a special grip to improve the durability of the wood.
3. Galvanised or non-slip coated steel plate (3 mm x 250-500 mm, depending on the type of barrier) is used for the connection to the asphalt.
4. The parapets are made of galvanised and/or powder coated steel. A wooden guard rail is available for the ECO version.
5. The upper edges of the ramps are sealed with a 60×3 mm tubular connecting plate or with 3-5 mm thick hot-dip galvanised or powder-coated angle steel.
6. Two layers of plywood are used for the rolling surfaces. The bottom layer fits into special pockets on the edge of the parapet:
7. The top layer is 9-15 mm thick waterproof plywood with a 6 mm thick anti-slip rolling surface.
8. The structure of the parapet is made of 12-18 mm thick waterproof plywood, but can also be made of HDPE plastic on request. This is equipped on the PRO version.
9. The plywood sheets are connected by a puzzle-type joint.
10. Basically, the sides of the structure are covered with 9-12 mm thick laminated waterproof plywood, but can be covered with 10 mm thick HDPE plastic on request.

Monolith skateparks

This type of skatepark has a monolithic structure. It can be placed anywhere without an asphalt base. The park is mounted on special concrete poles.
The structure of the parapets is individually designed and patented.
The structure of the equipment is mounted on concrete pillars measuring 300 x 300 x 1500 mm, ensuring the stability and durability.
The entire structure is positioned 100-500 mm above the ground level, which ensures adequate ventilation. This minimises the amount of moisture from the ground to the structure.
Two or three layers of plywood are used for the rolling surfaces. The bottom layer is 9-18 mm thick and the top layer is 9 mm thick waterproof plywood with a non-slip laminate surface.
