skate pipes
The halfpipe grew out of empty swimming pools in the 1970s. Today almost every skatepark has a pipe. Built in concrete, it lasts especially long.
Our skate pipes are made of reinforced concrete. Under each platform sits a lockable support, and a galvanised coping tube runs along the top edge. We supply them in overall heights of 165, 200 and 255 cm, each including a 15 cm flat. They come as a standard pipe or as a combi pipe with banks, coping ramps and spines.
The small pipe is at least 375 cm wide and can be extended in steps of 187.5 cm. Medium and large pipes are at least 500 cm wide and follow a module grid of 250 cm. They are installed without a foundation on asphalt, concrete or a compacted gravel bed.
165, 200 and 255 cm
Pipes 165, 200 and 255 are built the same way. All heights can be combined with each other, for example as a pipe-to-pipe transfer with a spine in between. The riding area between the pipes is solid concrete, because that is where the heaviest load occurs.
Standard layout
The pipe is free-standing, with a flat on both sides, a platform and a coping tube. Fully assembled, a pipe is 862 to 1,143 cm long, depending on its height. Free-standing skate pipes must have fall protection (a railing) and a safety zone of at least 2 m on both sides.
Combi pipe
Combi pipes are extended with further elements. They can have different heights, be fitted with additional approach and exit sections (banks or quarter ramps), or have other elements on the flat (spine, wave or bank to bank). Depending on the height, the additional parts have a minimum width.
How a pipe is built
Halfpipe vs. mini ramp
A halfpipe is a half tube with a radius of more than 3 m, split at the bottom into two transitions joined by a flat. At the top, each transition continues into a vertical section (vert) 30–70 cm high, with the coping tube along the top edge. Full-size halfpipes are 3.5 to 5 m high.
Our pipes are mini ramps: simplified halfpipes with smaller radii, a lower platform and no vert. That makes them easier to ride, for beginners and advanced riders alike, and they can be supplied as precast units.
Installation
The pipes are supplied as prefabricated concrete modules. Each pipe comes in two versions: with a railing for free-standing installation, or built into an embankment. The radius is 240 cm for pipe 165 and 280 cm for pipes 200 and 255.
All modules are tested to EN 14974, certified by TÜV and carry the GS mark. The coping tube is galvanised, and every riding edge has an edge protection profile made of hard rubber.
