How To Build DIY Wheelchair Ramps

Building DIY wheelchair ramps simply require pre-cut untreated lumber and bolts purchased from a Home Center store. Ramps that are exposed to the elements do not need 'treated' wood. Untreated wood will last outdoors for 10-15 years. Call me if you are considering using treated wood for your residential ramp, even if it is for outdoor use. Non-slip surface treatments are covered in the specification that is included with each DIY ramp kit order. Watch our construction video below. It shows you how to easily build my ramp: No measuring or cutting is necessary because this is an assembly project. As the name suggests, almost anyone can build one of my ramps. You can build a residential straight ramp for up to 16-foot long in 2 hours. Total installed cost (pre-COVID) for a 8-foot ramp is about $200.00 and a 10-foot ramp would be about $240.00. Contact me on how one person can build a 'sectional' wheelchair ramp to address needs of nearly any length.
