To build a DIY wheelchair ramp, you will need to measure the distance from the ground to the top of the step or landing where you want to install the ramp. Then, divide that distance by 12 to get the length of the ramp. The ramp should have a slope of no more than 1:12, which means that for every 1 inch of rise, there should be 12 inches of run.
Once you have determined the length and slope of the ramp, you can begin to build it. You will need pressure-treated lumber, screws, and a drill. Cut the lumber to the desired length and width, and then assemble the ramp according to the following steps:
- Build a frame for the ramp using 2×6 lumber.
- Attach the frame to the ground and to the step or landing using screws.
- Attach the ramp deck to the frame using screws.
- Install handrails on both sides of the ramp.
Be sure to check the ramp regularly for signs of wear and tear, and make repairs as needed.
Here is a simplified version:
