i have a 6 foot tall setup and im tired of carrying the ladder out every time and instead of making a ladder on the setup itself i want stairs. any blue prints just to get an idea would be great. also i would love to have a dfd rail but my yard is flat. any ideas of how to make one that would work in a flat yard?
 
for the down flat down it seems like youre gonna need a sloped landing. I mean you could build one but it would be a lot easier just to make a flat down flat.
 
just slap together a ladder, its not too hard. but if you build a dfd on flat ground either the end will be really low or the front will have to be reallllly high
 
i have a flat yard and a 6' high drop in. yours is probably different than mine but i just put some 2x4s horizontally up the back and made a ladder into it. stairs would probably be easier to use but the ladder is so easy to make.

don't put a dfd on a flat yard. it won't work the way you want it to.
 
actually i think i have a way that you could make a downflatdown to put in your backyard. post a pic of your drop in so i can see if it will work but i have an idea how you could do it and still use other rails too. its hard to explain i'll try to draw what i mean in ms paint but i have never loaded a pic from paint before hopefully it will work.

^ you could make a little triangle wood piece to use as a kicker, cover it in turf and attach things on either side of the drop in that would hold it. they would be on the sides of the ramp so they wouldn't affect you going down it when you just want to hit a flat rail at the bottom or you could put the mini kicker in the holders and set the very high down flat down rail next to the drop in (the supports would have to be much sturdier than what i drew haha) but then you would be able to hit it like urban style and would still be able to remove it when you are done so you could hit other rails. it is a little far fetched and kind of dangerous but it the idea just popped into my head in school today when i thought about this and i was excited about it so i decided to post it. i'm not sure if your drop in would work for this, mine probably would, mine is 6 feet tall on flat ground like yours. i'll post a pic of mine.
 
damn i thought i had a good pic of my drop in but i really don't. i could post one later but the drawing is basically the set up.
