I'm going to build a ramp for my sister who is recovering from surgery and may be wheelchair bound indefinitely. This was done well and so informative! Thanks so much!👍
I’ve watched less than 1 minute and since I’ve been in a wheelchair for over 12 years and have had my wife build my ramp from my design some years back I saw a flaw in your design. There is no flat landing at the top of your ramp. It makes reaching the door handle way easier. I thought long and hard before we started building. Our landing is made from an old school TV Stand we got for free. We turned it sideways, cut it in half, laid it flat and then put 1” plywood on top. For the ramp part we should have purchased 2 2x10’s, but made the 2x8’s with 2x2’s again with 1” plywood. Plywood was sourced from a friend’s mother’s ramp who had passed away. $90 total spent and at least half was fru fru., paint and aluminum angle trim. Appreciate your caring for father in law. Being active and not cooped up makes life better. (Now back to the show).
Thank you Paul. I am sure this has been a great help to so many, including your own family. I am currently making a ramp for my dad and your vid is super useful.
Hey paul , Do you have any ideas on how to make a semi portable or foldable one? Have an elderly neighbour who needs to get down 4 silly steps with her mobility scooter as i cant do shopping for her this week (Covid)
