any UFA farm supply will have it as well, recycled plastic or you can buy the more expensive puckboard, both in 4x8 sheets. the puckboard is a little more dense, and mega slippery.

Most building supply stores sell puck board, I get it at Home Hardware.

Superglides are better, but it's $100 to do a ramp. While puckboard is like $20 and works fine. Only thing I will say is superglides would be nicer when unloading my deck, the skis like to turn on the puckboard :mad: If anyone has some, i'd like to buy it, I don't need anywere close to a 4x8' sheet.

You can pick up 20' of superglides for about $100. I believe a 4x8' sheet of puckboard is about $60.

Then you cut it, then drill it, then it warps in the sun light. You will never be so happy to cough up the extra $40. The super glides you will have installed in 1/5th the time and look way better. IMO

O ya if I was buying new I would get superglides for sure. But if I already had puckboard and it was still in good shape, it's not worth the money to change it over IMO. It makes it fun loading onto a high deck to, superglides just make it to easy :d

just do the same as the superglides....oblong mounting holes for expansion/contraction. use a router if there is a need for "guides" for the carbides to follow.

I bought a 4X8 sheet at Totem Lumber.
I think they have 1/4" & 1/2" thickness.
The 1/4" is easier to work with and more flexible.​

Only the rich people around here use superglides. Everyone else goes to the junk yard and buys an old plastic pick up box liner for $20. The ridges keep skis straight and the skis slide extremely easy. I have been using them every weekend for 12 years, and they are still in good shape. One 8' liner can do a double deck with a ramp if you plan it right.
