Build a quick and easy access ramp

Need a fast and easy way to build a ramp. This maybe your solution. I needed this ramp just to make my mothers life a little easier. The step is not a large one but this will help ease the pain on her joints. We are going to be using this for a wheel chair as its not technically up to code. Per our Indiana code: For every 1 inch of raise you should have 1 foot of run. This is not quite that long I ended up about 8" short. That's OK for what we are using it for.

awesome thanks this solved a problem for me,
I don't have a table saw and was thinking I'd have to make a bunch of bevel cuts with what I had in mind to build.
It gave one of those moments of relief when youve been trying to figure something out and then it all clicks when you see a solution

Hey Mike. Nice to see another video from you. Sure will make it easier for your mom getting into the house from the garage. Blessings:

Great info here. This could come in handy for me. Thanks for sharing!

Great video! What would you recommend for someone who wants to do exactly what you did, but doesn't have the power saws?

How long did the belt sander take you to give you the sharp edge at the end of the ramp? My brother was able to get all of the ramp done. We’re having a hard time with how to use the belt sander for a smooth transition from the concrete to the ramp. More info appreciated.

Can you do one if someone don't have all the tools???

Hey. Great to see an educational video to support access needs. Please could you change the word “handicap” in the title. I know you don’t mean to offend, but this term is outdated and could offend.

Keep up the good work.
