How to Build Ramps and Vert Walls for Fingerboards

Ramp

• 1

  Cut a rectangle from a piece of thick cardboard. The size doesn't matter, as long as it's large enough to allow you to maneuver your fingerboard.

• 2

  Cut another rectangle from the cardboard. The width should match that of the first rectangle, but the length may vary, depending on how steep you want the ramp to be.

• 3

  Tape the two pieces of cardboard together so that they form an acute angle (less than 90 degrees). This will form the most basic mini-ramp. Place the taped cardboard upright on a flat surface to serve as a ramp.

Vert Wall

• 4

  Tear the flaps from one end of an empty cereal box.

• 5

  Cut each corner of the cereal box two-thirds of the way upward, as if you are going to cut each side away from the other. Each wall will act as a flap.

• 6

  Gently push the box down from the top, so that the flaps slide outward. Continue until the flaps are at the angle you desire.

• 7

  Tape the flaps to a flat surface so that the cereal box does not move.
