Wheelchair ramp

Back in 2012 I built this ramp for my elderly parents in Florida. They have since passed. This was built with treated lumber and everything being screwed together with deck screws.

Might give you and idea or two.

Some church groups have volunteers that do community projects.

That’s exactly what we did through our church. Built a ramp for a Vietnam vet. He just passed away. He was a good man

On your pitch, take into consideration the weight of the person in the chair, and the strength of the person pushing. A 40 inch rise is a lot. Have you thought about some kind of lift, or one of those stair chairs? Good luck to you.

This is how I built one for my ex muminlaw. By using deck screws, it can be easily adjusted if needed.

Wood construction, built with DECK boards.

A landing is your best option.

Good advice, all. I've never built a ramp myself, but I've been a chair for 10 years. Had one ramp made of plywood (landlord's 'handyman') that rotted through in about 2 years. The one on the house we live in now is aluminum, and available in different configurations at the home improvement stores.

And, agree with everybody...figure on putting a landing in. Halfway up a steep ramp on a hard day is a bad place to suddenly lose your grip. Also makes a good turn around point for that thing you forgot and left in the car.

It's a long drive, but this is a deal:

You can't build it for this price.
Act fast if your serious, before it sells.

And be cautious, it could be a scam...

I measured the height today and it is 32" . It's going to be a lot of work.
