Well, I just used some high quality plywood. I believe it was 3/4 inch thick. It is also weather proofed with paint and non-skid has been applied so it won't slip. Glued and screwed too.
I hear ya, that is the perfectly correct way to do it (with a level) but you can get a great feel for it by first bouncing on the first rung to make sure it is not going to shift then eyeballing it from there. There are obviously short comings with this as every non-level surface will be at a different angle and it also depends on the surface itself - concrete vs lawn and so forth. I should also point out that I personally NEVER lean too far to the right or left when working on a ladder. I notice a lot of regular ladder users are a lot more daring when it comes to that but I have no problem getting down off the ladder to move it over 6 inches so I can reach the next whatever.
Yea but 5$ worth of wewd or a free scrap deal sounds a lot better than throwing out the money for ladder leveling legs and those aren't 80, theyre 100 for the cheap kind you gotta fiddle with to adjust or 150 for the kind that auto level... which are nice but 150$ worth of nice.. some of us dont have the means to pay out that money for that..
A big thumbs up as well as a thank you. I'm a 58 year old woman and was able to duplicate the ramp easily. Worked like a charm.
Love it been thinking of doing this great job could you post measurements and angles you used
Thank you!! This video helped a lot. I was able to put up my Christmas lights thanks to this video 😎
You can also put a tent peg next to the side of wedge for extra security ?
A belated welcome. I'm glad this helped.
Can you identify exactly what you used/did to build it? Looking to make one myself for work

Excellent! Thx!
Welcome! Don't forget to inspect it before each use, especially seasonally as it may get damaged and require replacement.
You just saved me $100+ and no drilling holes in my ladder.
Cool, thanks for the comment.

Or you can spend a whole $80 bucks and get a ladder pivot......

That's great advice. Thanks.
