Ground Construction
In order that rampart street elements can be used to their best advantage and therefore provide the maximum amount of skate fun, the surface only needs to be designed with a skatable and flat substrate such as concrete, part for fine asphalt. In order to ensure rapid drying and the drainage of rainwater, the surface should have a gradient of 2%. Due to its elasticity and low wear and tear levels, asphalt is particularly suitable for skate parks out of doors. For all Mini, Midi and Vert-Ramps a flat surface consisting of asphalt, concrete or grass is sufficient. If a skate track is set up in the immediate vicinity of playgrounds, sports grounds or street traffic, it is advisable to provide a structural or natural partition. In such cases we recommend bushes and embankments, as these not only provide extra safety, but also reduce noise levels.
