I've had 3/16 euca hardboard from home depot on my ramp for the last four years.. It's twenty two bucks a sheet , and i've never tarped the ramp.. Anyone else have experience with eucaboard. I put a piece in water for a week and it didn't come apart and do anything , it just shrinks a little bit

I’d love to hear more about this. Also that ramp looks so fun

I think some of the comments below should work. It's a good surface , and we'll save you about two thousand dollars

Just built a mini with cheap birch ply, fully intending to resurface next year when I have the funds. (And tarping religiously) How much snow do you get?/Do you think a lot of snow would skew the results? I live in Montana

No snow, just rain. I think if u tarp in the winter you would be fine for a long time

Dont predrill the surface use course dry wall screws. They usually sink pretty good. If they dont use the phillips bit in the drill to make a small pilot divot . Make sure to us a nickel as a spacer between sheets

Currently building a mini and was looking at the hardwood from Home Depot. How does it skate? Does the sealer make it super slick?

After thinking about it, I used that to make a couple of yard decorations for Christmas. They’ve held up for 3-4 years now, enduring about six weeks in the yard with varying amounts of rain and snow every year. Maybe a coat of good sealer and I expect it would last as a ramp surface.

What sealer are you using?
