This video shows how I made a Skate box and Manual pad fit into my Hatchback! I wanted to make this video to show that you don't need your own warehouse or a large van or SUV (or even a car) to be able to have your own mini skatepark.
UPDATE: I addressed the sticky coping issue by sanding off the coating the coping came with when I bought it until it was close to silver in color.

Tools and Materials are below:

Ryobi power drill:

Ryobi Circular saw:

They also have a combo kit:

The angle grinder I used is several years old. But most home centers have a wide selection:
(If possible, make a box that is 6 ft or 8 ft long to avoid needing to use an angle grinder and just buy steel angles already cut at 6 ft or 8 ft.)

You can also rent tools at Home Depot (Also check your local home center to see if they rent tools out if you dont have a Home Depot near you):

I used a 12-inch rafter square (but you can also get smaller ones for cheaper):

I used heavier duty clamps but you can use much cheaper clamps for cutting plywood:
(A couple of 12 inch clamps should be fine, and maybe one 24 inch or a 36 inch clamp to hold the larger pieces.)

You can use this trim square to help you cut 2x4s to length:

I used 2.5-inch coarse Drywall screws (DONT FORGET TO PREDRILL YOUR HOLES (1/8th inch drill bit should be good.):

You could also potentially make your own using scrap 2x4s and buy some 4 inch casters

I used a 2 inch hole saw bit to make the holes for thehandles (along with a jig saw, but you can use a hand saw as well)
