With the global pandemic and its associated restrictions, DIY and backyard skate setups are all the rage. People have been building new obstacles, ’creting up barriers and whipping up backyard mini ramps with newfound fervour.

If you’re not skilled up enough to construct your own backyard beauty, you might be interested to know about Ashley Wild Ramps, who are in the business of sorting out all of your plywood mini ramp needs.

Based at Coolum Beach on Queensland’s idyllic Sunshine Coast, the crew from Ashely Wild Ramps have built a rep for making a quality product. Their plywood backyard mini ramps range from two foot to six foot in height, with the option of getting a flat-pack mini shipped to you, or having the builders come to your place and doing the construction for you. Beyond mini ramps, they also build everything from little quarter pipes to rails to full custom skateparks.

Ashley Wild do ramp construction all around Australia, but delivery prices vary, depending on your proximity to the Sunny Coast. Essentially, the closer you are to the Sunshine Coast, the cheaper they are.

A two-foot micro mini flat-pack starts at $2,465 while the six-foot version starts at $3,806. There are all sorts of extensions and add ons, including extra width, roll-ins and little quarter pipes for the driveway.
