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,

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. :-)

I had thought of doing this, but, there's always a but isn't there, the
doors on my shed, shed which was specially made for me, comes below the
floor level and if I sawed the bottom off to accomodate the ramp, whoudl see
rain and all other crap coming into the shed.
Hope that makes sense
