Default Wooden Ramps

I need to make some ramps to get my mobility scooter into the shed.

The last pair I made was made from 2 piece3s of 4 x 2 timber about 4 feet
long cut on a diagonal. Screwed to the diagonal was a piece of weather proof
weyroc and a couple of bracing pieces of wood underneath.

These have last me since 1997 and have been out in all weathers, but alas,
nothing lasts forever.

Now, I need the ramps to be made from 6 x 3 stioll about 4 foot long, but
wider than the old ones.

I was thinking of using T & G Floorboard. Is this a good idea ? I can't
afford to purchase weatherproof weyroc in big sheets.

Your thoughts Ladies and Gentlemen please !

Kindest regards,

James


I'd consider using thick decking boards. This is what I used for a
ramp to get a motorcycle into a van.
