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!!

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.

[dianedeleon]

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

[jenniferjones]

When i tell you THIS VIDEO IS AMAZING! I REALLY MEAN IT! I needed one for my dad; bilateral amputation of both legs, and paralyzed. This video helped me make two ramps. Thank you so much!!

[toma.rogers]

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.

[MeadowFarmer]

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!

[christiclyde]

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.

[GhostRiley]

Hello, I’m kind of an idiot, but for the slope of the ramp, did you basically just make a straight line from corner to corner of the board?

[monohydrate]

This is what I needed to help my 94 year old grandma, thank you so much

[SnowySpiritRuby]

How did you finish the bottom edge, or did you just pop a small wheelie every time you pushed her up the ramp? Thinking about making something like this for my parents house for when I visit (that they can store in the garage when I'm not there), since they have a ramp up to the porch (concrete, put in when they got their driveway replaced last year) but not from the porch to the door. I would definitely need the bottom edge finished, though, so I'm trying to find a how-to that shows it for a removable ramp like this.

[lisab]

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

[neville]

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

[bokkila]

Maybe an idea to add a triangular slat at the lowest part for a smoother transition when climbing. Otherwise, congratulations for a great and simple ramp.

[outpost]

Thanks man! Need this for my elderly Mother.

[lizsteed]

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

[ypcharly]

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

[Tackleberry_G]

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

[arth.]

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

[guardiangarasu]

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.

[AlanHamilton-of]

Great informative video making one for my local pub though I will chamfer the last board too make it even easier for the wheelchair, just subbed to your channel, Alan from Scotland cheers
