Title: mini ramp sizes help info needed
Post by: harris on January 01, 2010, 12:37 PM
im thinking of getting a mini ramp in the garden....
i kinda know what i want and height but what are most common sizes in deck mainly
also what does and doesnt work in flat bottom
if i build 2 decks   5ft high    whats the best flat bottom width as i dont want it to long so you got to wait 10 mins to get to the other side
or so tight you get dizzy

ye it will help alot ,once i get the nod  or another LOOK
i will build a platform and get up to see what the neighbours will see then decide , that part of the 5ft factor..but it will be a slower ramp so...gotta wait

cheers

Dan, the footprint will have to come first bud - it's all about proportions   :)

Once you have a plot agreed with the mrs, then we can work out what will fit  :daumenhoch:
