Easy DIY Car Ramp | Removeable Rear Safety Block

Thanks for checking out today’s video! I hope that this will help you save some money and build a safer alternative to plastic car ramps. I’ll show you how to make a much safer (and cheaper) design using construction lumber. This design also includes a rear safety block to prevent the car from rolling off the back of the ramp. This is a pretty simple build and can easily be done in one afternoon.

Materials:
- 3 2x10s (8ft long each)
- 1 box of 2.5” wood screws
- 1 3/8” dowel rod

Minimal Waste Cut List:
2x10 #1:
- 4 1” pieces of 2x10 (cut at a 90 degree angle)
- 2 45” pieces of 2x10 (cut at a 45 degree angle)

2x10 #2:
- 38” piece of 2x10 (cut at a 45 degree angle)
- 31” piece of 2x10 (cut at a 45 degree angle)
- 24” piece of 2x10 (cut at a 45 degree angle)

2x10 #3:
- 38” piece of 2x10 (cut at a 45 degree angle)
- 31” piece of 2x10 (cut at a 45 degree angle)
- 24” piece of 2x10 (cut at a 45 degree angle)

Just made the same ones but made a 4 inch backstop. Also went to my local skate shop and bought a few sheets of grip tape that I put on top. My old skating days finally paid off lol

Good video. Glad you included an encouraging bible verse. Ignore the haters. God bless brother.

What a great idea!! I'm not a "car guy", I'm more of a woodworking guy, but I recognise a good idea when I see it!!! Keep up the good work??

[swaggerjacker]

Definitely going to make some of these instead of buying ramps. Thanks so much

I was absolutely pleasantly surprised to get a Bible verse in addition to a great ramp instruction video 😊

Good job amigo. Let me give you one pointer from an old carpenter.. cut your stop blocks about 1.5" thick minimum then turn them 90° from how you were fastening them and that will not want to split or be as fragile as fastening screws thru the crosscut.. just a minor pointer...
Praise be to God, brother!

I have went through right many videos on building ramps and really like the idea of you making the top section longer than alot I have seen. Some looked right sketchy in this area. All my vehicles are SUVs so I may skip the doweled rear block because I already have 2 chalks that I use at the boat ramp but must say that is a great idea and may incorporate it later and I may add an inch or 2 to the other layers but not the top one also!! Thanks for posting the video. Bible verse was pretty cool also.

Thank you very much! Excellent design!

The stop block is an excellent idea but in this instance I think it is too short and too far away from the tires. Wheel chocks would probably be a better choice, as you can place them right against the tire(s). I would place the wheel chocks on the back tires instead though. Less likely to roll off on solid ground as opposed to the ramp platform.

thanks for the cut list
they worked great

I would use 2x4 for stop blocks. It's a great video!

Inspired me to do mines. Love the safety features

[BurtBowers]

Very nice i need to make some my daughter has camry that sits low in front it has bottom spoiler below the bumper but these ramps look like they possible would work, God bless🙏

[bill-njfc]

nice job but, that rear stop block should be alot closer and a bit higher to the tire, if the car by chance start roll it may roll over that block, being closer and higher wont give it a chance to roll

[ruanof]

Loved that you added a Bible verse, thanks, Blessings !

Could the timber be used to make several crosses?

[dbpool]

yes - for the rear stop block - rather than using dowel idea... put your car on ramp, and see where back of tire is... give your self another inch back from it but make yourself a 1.5" wide rabbit you can just slide in a stop block of whatever height will fit - this way your stop block is fairly close to the tire, and can be any height you want higher than the top board... or, just cut right through your top board where you want, 1.5" wide, and then just put a piece of 2x10 through - say 3-4" high...
