About Us

NORTHERN RAMP COMPANY LTD was established by Dean Dieleman in 2019. Dean was inspired by a surfing and camping trip to Hawaii and decided to create the mellow vibes of surfing in Canada by building a mini ramp in his backyard. After selling a couple, he launched it into a business. Year after year, the ramps got new designs and materials until the design had been perfected.

Northern Ramp Mini Ramp Kits are built with exterior grade high-quality plywood, galvanized coped, weatherproof screws to withstand the elements.

How to build your ramp

    Prepare the ground

    Choose an area that is flat. Most backyards have a slope of about 1% meaning that over 20ft your backyard will slope 3 inches. Consider purchasing our levelling kit, which contains gravel and cement blocks.

Built to last

Our ramps are built with exterior plywood to withstand the outside elements. To make them last super long, we recommend adding Gator skin coating.
