One of the best ways to attach the steel coping to your ramp is to weld it to the frame. To do this, small steel plates must be made that are drilled and countersunk to accommodate for large screws to fasten to the ramp. It is our goal to make it as easy as possible for our customers to get these skate ramps built properly. We are now selling the steel plates for those that don't want to bother making them. Lets face it, even a little halfpipe takes a long time to make. The framing goes up quickly and it looks like you'll be skating soon. It's all the little things at the end that add hours and hours. Rather than spending the time it takes to buy, measure, cut, drill, re-drill, grind and sand the plates, just buy them ready to install. The plates come with instructions, heavy duty screws and the bit needed for installation. To attach the plates to the steel coping (2 inch schedule 40 black steel pipe), you will need a welder. Wire feed welders are quite common these days. If you don't have a welder, someone you know probably does. Have the plates cut in and installed on the ramp so the welders time will be minimal.
