Engineered for top-tier performance, supporting vaults up to 19 feet.

Superior Construction

Our runways are built from Pine, engineered for strength and flexibility to allow maximum speed down the runway and a strong platform for the take-off. It is recommended to use an optional rubber surface that can be applied to each section or as a roll-out. For outdoor use, we offer treated lumber for an extra cost.

Measurements: Each section is 39″ wide, 8’3″ long, and 8″ high.
Plant Box: Standard 20 cm depth after applying the 3/8 inch rubber surface.
