Things You'll Need:
- Ten TWO-BY-FOURS, each measuring 3 feet, 101/2 inches in length
- One 3/4-inch-thick PLYWOOD BOARD measuring 4 feet by 6 feet, 2 inches in length
- Two 3/4-inch-thick PLYWOOD TRIANGLES, 5 feet, 6 inches in length and reducing from 1 foot, 6 inches to 11/2 inches in height
- Screws
- Screwdriver
-
Step 1
Attach the two plywood triangles to one another using two two-by-fours. To do so, place the 5-foot-6-inch side of one triangle flush with the ground. Then place a two-by-four perpendicular to the plane of the plywood, with the 4-inch side flush to the ground. Move the plank to one end of the triangle (it doesn't matter which one you choose first), then screw it in. Next, screw in the other two-by-four to the other end of the triangle in the same manner. Repeat the process with the second triangle, so that the two triangles are now standing parallel to one another.

Step 2
Now attach the remaining two-by-fours along the top edge of the plywood triangle. This will be the face of the ramp. Screw in the two-by-fours so that the 2-inch side is flush with the edge of the triangle.
-
Step 3
Finally, place the plywood board onto the face of the ramp, longways, so that one end of it just touches the ground and the other end touches the top of the ramp. Then screw the board into the two-by-fours from Step 2.
-
Step 4
If desired, you may cover the plywood face of the ramp with a piece of Masonite of the same dimensions. If you choose to do this, simply screw the Masonite onto the plywood in the same way that you screwed the plywood to the two-by-fours.
