    I am making a 12 ft folding dog and human ramp. I have it built, but it is bending down in the middle. How can I solve this problem?

    Add a removable support beam/post in the area on the ramp where it is bending/sagging, the post/beam will add more support to the ramp and make it more sturdy.
  • Question
    How do you make it so the ramp won't slip? Would rubber matting attached to the bottom work?
    Community Answer
    Yes, rubber matting will ensure the ramp will not slip. Making the ramp of a heavy material will also help.
  • Question
    If I make the ramp without the slats/steps, would it work for a shed ramp?
    Community Answer
    It depends on how high the shed is, but theoretically, yes.

    What would this cost me to make?

    It depends on how long the ramp is. Assuming you already have a drill, a saw, nails, etc., plywood costs about $1.50 per square foot, and the price of two-by-fours varies.
