Thank you for this! I don’t have a man at home or a dad and this helped me tremendously!

Just built this with my Dad. Thank you so so so so much!!! We had to rewatch the angle part a few times but it was explained so well. Thank you again!!

Dude you have nice writing ✍️. It’s almost like a a comic book font 🤙🏼

One of the best instructional videos I've seen for DIY. I plan on building this as a transition incline ramp to eliminate the high step up into our front door. I'll paint it with herculiner truck bed liner to waterproof the wood, and to provide a slip resistant textured surface for walking up the ramp. Thank you sir for helping alot of people remedy a common household problem. Much appreciated.

I need one of those for my house. My father-in-law is wheelchair bound and need this type of ramps. Thanks for the great instructions and showing us how to do it step by step.

Very good instructional video. The best I have seen. Thank you.

Thank you SO MUCH for an easy to follow video. I was trying to figure out how to calculate the correct angle 📐 of the side support boards and this made it so simple to figure out. Thanks for providing an excellent tutorial! The great thing is it’s easily adaptable to any need.

This is the best tutorial so far. Thank you for putting it together

Ramp is amazing! That's awesome that Rex Lumber sent someone out to assist you with the build! The slope on the ramp should be perfect for anyone to go up/down with minimal effort. Nice! *For those that don't know what ripping is: it's going from one side to the other length-wise with your saw to cut down the width to desired size

Great design! This is a super helpful tutorial!

Thank you so much! I'm planning to build a ramp for a friend this weekend and this is exactly what we need!

Building this tomorrow definitely helps a lot

You just gave me my answer for my New Concrete Up and Down Garage Ramo. Thanks.

Excellent video. Thank you!

Thanks man! Need this for my elderly Mother.

Quick and easy. Very helpful.

Thanks for the video! It was super easy, hardest part was making those diagonal cuts by myself.

Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. I built a two-piece ramp for my friend based on your design. Her house had two long steps. I built the top ramp so the end of it overlapped the bottom ramp about six inches. The advantage is that the ramps cannot easily separate when she drives her mobility scooter over them While going down the weight of the scooter is already pressing down on the bottom ramp. Anyway, great video, it really helped!

This is Fantastic!! Easy, looks Strong, Great video !!!❤❤❤❤

Not quite the way I would have done it. Main issues width, would have gone enough wider to add strips on the sides to make sure the chair wheels could not accidentally go off the sides. Second, I would have overlapped the top by 1/2 width and then sawed off the end with the angle to make the top edge flush with the top of the door step. I don't know if these guys have ever had to move someone in a wheel chair, but the bottom of this ramp is a show stopper. Had they started at the top with a half width, they could have finished on a half width with the last board cut to exceed the end of the ramp risers to give a flush to the concrete edge. What they have instead at the bottom is a one inch wheel stop. The caregiver will have a very hard time getting the chair on the ramp. They will have to first get the front wheels on the ramp by stepping on the wheelie bar(s) and then lifting the entire weight of the chair and patient onto the ramp (no way you will roll the wheels onto the ramp) while controlling the position of the chair on the ramp without going off the sides, a very dangerous situation without guide/guard rails on the edges. Also, looks like they could have gone another foot from the door to reduce the slope. That would be a tough push for anything over a 100# person + chair. I (my own opinion only) would not do this as designed. Could be painted with Non-skid paint (worked well for years on a stair built for an outdoor hot tub.

Thank you for showing the math

Fantastic! Thank you so much 💪💥😎🙂

Thank you!! My mom and I rent our house so we can't do any remodeling. This is extremely helpful.

Really good team work 👍

Glad to find your channel

what great video. thanks !

Great video 👍

Just what i was looking for! Retired by Phippeans beach we need side door entrance from kitchen to higher concrete Patio where wife feeds our egg producing Chickens and Ducks.

Thank you!

This is exactly what I need. Wanting to build a wheelchair ramp for my mother ,as my inaugural project in the workshop that came with my new house, and my dimensions for the door frame and drop are identical to yours.

I would have made it a bit wider to be able to have some extra space on both sides of the door for entering and exiting. Overall a really great video with instructions and tips along the way! Thank you!

I need a ramp like this for my mom. She has an apartment and can't have a fixed ramp. I think my brother will be able to make something like this. I will send this to him!

13:56 He steps on the ends to make it just like it needs to be. I thought there might be a beveled edge on that last deck board. Probably not really necessary. Nice job.

My son made a ram in the afternoon . I use a walker . It works out fine

I am in a wheelchair, the last board is to high for easy transition going up. It should of had a bevel cut on the last board. If your life revolved around living in a wheelchair , you would know what I am talking about.

Theres a little bit of flaw with the design. I get that it’s temporary but there’s a bump in order to get ON the ramp which might be hard to do with a manual wheelchair. There are designs that have a smooth transition from floor to ramp that are movable ramps. It’s an easy fix too

I notice that where the angled framing meets the ledger/ header, they are a bit shorter. is this intentional so that the top 5/4 board pitches downward or should they be flush?

6” drop recommendation is 72” ramp

Final someone showed how to make the angle

🔥🔥🔥

You gotta lock those drill bits my guy!

Great tutorial! If I wanted to build a ramp flush to the ground, what would I change in this tutorial to do so? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the video. Question; Would it be ok to make the ramp wider.... ?? To compensate for ramp movement, since it isn't bolted down and so the the wheel chair doesn't Have to be perfectly centered on it to enter????

Going to build two of these this weekend. I’m worried about the ramp sliding. Any issues with that?

If the step is 8" high you must go out 8' that is the ratio...or 6"= 6' and so on.

It looks like you could bolt it down if you really had to though the header and into the brick it really needed!

I have the same step into my house. I also have a 7 inch step from my porch to the sidewalk. Would it be best to keep the platform level until I reach the sidewalk and my 90 degree turn? The sidewalk turns about 15” from the porch. I hope I explained that good.

Hi, want to build something similar for our stroller. The design looks solid, just have 1 question - I want to buy pressure treated 2x8, but it is listed as "above the ground". Is there a solution for it? I know that there are U clamps, but I don't want to drill them into the concrete... What would you recommend?

Question, can I take the full weight of a person on a mobility scooter? If not what adjustments might I have to do?

Good info, but what weird curved lumber!

My first power chair is FWD. I'd have to go up that thing backwards while dragging my foot rests on it, way too short. My next chair is MWD for that reason. never getting FWD again.

I find this video very helpful… but would you mind if rough estimate how much did you spend in the materials…thanks

I would think that you would want to leave a little gap between the boards for expansion and contraction. Otherwise, a great video. Thanks for posting.

Could you not use a sheet of thick ply wood instead of batons across the frame?

Thank you for the great simple design. I too have stage 4 cancer and need one of these now. The online curb ramps for sale are too steep and expensive and wouldn't work for me. I'm in an apartment with a 5" step up, plus it has to be removable. Since it would be a smaller design, could I use silicone caulking as a temporary hold to the concrete? (So the ramp doesn't slide or someone walks away with it).

My grandma needs one of these for his house. He just got put into a wheelchair and has only been given a few months to live.

Definitely needs an aluminum transition at the bottom. A 1” lip is pretty big. Or cut the wood down the last few inches at an angle.

Hi, Any suggestions to cover that wood as its getting dirt & the colour is changed.

How to do a much higher ramp? One that leads up to a Mobile Home door.

The top of the ramp should be just below the step not above like in the video because if the person is coming out of the house in a wheelchair, there is a real risk of the ramp sliding out making it useless. You could have fixed it in place with a couple of brackets in to the mortar.

I do need to build one with a 7" header too. Can I used the same proportions to calculate the run, or would you recommend longer? The ramp does not need to be ADA compliant and the shorter the run the better (within reason) as the walkway to the ramp is curved.

Is there a way to sand the last board down so there's NOT a lift there?

Did you leave a gap in the planking? Or are they butted up against each other. It's kinda hard to tell in the video. Thanks!

put anti slip tape on top

How do you waterproof the ramp so it won't rot?

Try and find this answer. Can i build a ramp with a 10"Rise and 60"a run NOT using it for wheelchair access. I keep my motorcycle in my addition 20x20 room and need a ramp just for that on my side entry

Can this be done for a shed? I would like the option to be able to remove it, but need to get my lawnmower up and down with a ramp. Would it withstand weather being treated lumber?

Do you do contract work? I need one of these built! I live in Indiana.

How much was the matirals and how much to build it thk u

So really the angled stringers are cut from point to point ( in half) correct??

we have a 3 step with about 18" height. would it be possible to do the same type of ramp?

The "frowning" and "smiling" thing isn't as important as best face up. Besides, its wood. It'll do whatever it wants to, as far as warping in any fashion.

Looks great but how does someone in a wheelchair reach the door handle and open the door to go through it if they're in their wheelchair on the ramp? Pretty much impossible.

Around how much US dollars would you charge to build this?

Ramp must be 6' for ADA unassisted wheelchair.

I think I did something wrong because I had a gap and only the point was touching the ground, well I also did not Have enough Height on the 2 x 6 To reach all the way to the floor because of the aggressive angle

Don't see the point of checking if it's square against the door , then pulling it away, cos it then goes off!!, then when pre-drilling give it a wiggle to get it square!!!, oh then step on the bottom to try and square it up !!!., then the drill falls out !!

looks nice.To bad it wont work its still to high at the beginning where the cement and wood meet.

Flush at the top but no attention paid at the bottom

I would've built it 4 feet wide. If you were ever in a wheelchair, you'd understand.

MC FIX IT

A little too involved for me to follow

there is no such thing as 5 1/ 4 board

Why do Americans say go ahead in every sentence, really unnecessary and I' turn off straight away

"would help if somebody is holding it" Me- " well mfukka hold it, nikka made me fukk up! ". Lol
