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
Last time I needed to do something like this, I got two bits of scrap
timber and put one either side. Then poured some concrete into the gap
and trowelled it a bit to get a decent slope and surface. Some thirty or
so years later, it is still in perfect condition. But the shed is a bit
past it. :-)

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
