Damn that was niceeeee. I wanna build one! Im scared cause ive never worked with lumber, but the thought of having a setup in my backyard is tooo good to pass up haha
Glad you liked it! I’m a total amateur with lumber! Honestly though if you plan things out and go slow I believe in you! Don’t be afraid to ask for help! You can find really detailed plans online for free with guides as well. Stay radical!
They make very cheap counter sink drill bits just FYI for other people. Super cheap and makes a great finish. I have to use them on the airplanes that I fix. Great job looked like fun . Also you can use nuts on the flush screws instead of just screwing into the fiber board.
Hey thanks for your comment! I definitely learned a lot from this project that I took forward on my own ramp build. Looking back I would have gotten a thinner steel threshold because with the mellow transition this one ended up behing pretty noisy.
Hey! Thanks for your comment. These were fairly expensive, almost $900 CAD after materials and labour (and lumber prices are very very high). That being said there are some simple ways to save money. 1st, build them yourself (since I charged my client a few hundred dollars for labor), 2nd you can use lower-grade plywood for the frames (like 1/2" instead of 3/4") (or use 1 layer of 3/8" instead of 2 layers). You could use pvc instead of metal for the copings.
Hey man thats awsome you got a chance to build that ramp and thanks for showing it .
Anytime! Anyone with the tools and the drive to learn can do this too!
11:26 that way works temporarily. Screw gets loose quickly best way to attach coping is with a nut and bolt system. 🤙🏼
Thanks for the tip! Can you tell it was my first real ramp build 😂
THIS VIDEO IS PERFECT, thank you so much for it
Thank YOU for watching friend! Stay radical!
parabéns \o muito bom
OBRIDGADO!

i want too build my own ramps soon this video was amazing quality considering it does have alot of views you deserve more reconition and subscribers
Really appreciate your kind words Eli. They’re easier to build than you might think! Thanks for watching me stay radical!
What's the transition radius?
About 5’ ! I just built my own mini, 2’ high with a 6’ radius.
👍👍
Thanks Roger! I hope Evan is using those ramps!
I was wanting to build one if not two ❤how much did this cost ?

And that was the price for two! You could always build one first
