go down to your local hardware store, menards, home depot, lowes, etc.. and pick up some corner coping dont be afraid to bring the ledge and a deck with to size it out, usually pick the smallest that they have imo its best! |

| Flatface decks are rubbish imo. You'd be better off getting a Temple, Pure, Karma, Etc. |

| I'm looking to get an oldschool setup and will probably also use it outside, so i want durable but good wheels. I'm thinking that 2 good options would be flatface g6O's or any of the o material wheels, or oaks. Please give your opinion, thanks |

| He's looking fir durability though. I think G6O's would be good, I've never tried them though, but they are a hard material. Just imo the color isn't too great. |

| I would recommed Oak wheels because they're made out of urethane, so they will take anything you throw at them. Even concrete. Flatface wheels just won't last outside.. |

They would get chunky and gross as they are made out of plastic. |

Hard materials are not the way to go outdoors. They wont feel smooth enough. As always i would recommend Substance wheels. I've used my THC's outdoors and they perform amazing, they don't seem to wear either. |

Lab wheels are very durable, I own two sets. I only had to replace one wheel from 8. Best material has to be Oaks. They soft and grippy |
