As our dogs get older we want to ensure they can get up and down from locations they are used to going. Building this dog ramp will keep your puppy happy and safe. - Навчання та стиль
The first comprehensive guide I've seen. My dog (7 years old) just recently started showing signs of hip dysplasia, especially with the cold we're having, so I needed a guide for this so she could make it up into my bed. Will be making this soon, thank you so much!
Thanks Jade. Although I built this to the owners specifications, I would recommend making it 6 inches lower than the top of the bed so the last step is up onto the bed. This will lower the angle of the ramp thereby helping your dog make the transition easier. You can also bypass all the extra shelf section that just increases the work and cost in materials. Good luck. Jon Don't forget to subscribe!
This is so cool! I have a new puppy who is too small to jump on my bed and unfortunately has paws that stick outwards when he sits. The vet said he's fine, but he may have pain when he's older. I plan on making a dog ramp with my dad so that my puppy doesn't have to jump on stuff to get up to my bed and have a bad back when he's older. I also have him on vitamins to help him develop strong bones and joints.
Having built a few different variations of dog ramps one suggestion I have is to make the top of the ramp 6 inches lower than the bed. This is an easy step up for a dog and it cuts down on the steepness of the ramp. This way it can be used easier as the grow old.
Very very nice❣
I used 90% of your steps 😇to build a ramp for our little dogs
Thank you for the video
Steps? You mean 90% of your ramps. Lol. Sorry bad dad joke. Thanks!
Thank for a wonderful educational video.
The ramp looks amazing & your explanation are amazing easy.
I like that blue screw guide. Makes sure of the proper angle. I’m not good at the angled screws so I’ll look for one at the hardware store👍 also, I found it encouraging that you said you made a few mistakes. 🤓
You must be new to my videos. Lol. I post all my mistakes. I’m an amateurs and I truly make this up as I go along. Mistakes and how I overcome them, so you can avoid them.
Watching, love it, got to point where you added screws into area beside your dowels to hook together.......Idea....instead, add a permanent bolt into the end of each dowel. THAT WAY, a large washer and wing-nut can be used for repeated dismantling and re-attaching, without the wearing down of screw holes over long term use.
Yes, great idea. Now that what I call making it up as you go along. !!!
Great job! You’re an awesome teacher. I’ll definitely have to check out more of your videos.
Thanks pinkfluffydino. Love your name!
Very nice design. And your shelties are gorgeous.
Thanks! I had to go back and watch the video... I'm like, when were my dogs in the video? Completely missed that. LOL.
You’re Brilliant! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕
Bravo! New subscriber! Love your work!
Thanks Ginger. Don’t forget to hit me up on facebook to see my current projects. 👍
@Jon's DIY What dimensional lumber did you use for building the frame? Also was that 1/2" ply used for the ramp top and 1/4" ply for the shelving back, sides and bottoms? Great video. I have need to make two and this approach is great for figuring out a ramp to pair up with a King or Queen bed.
When you position the speed square at the 78” mark, is it marking the long point of the scribe from the floor?
Mushroom, I'm blind so I was simply using the speed square to show me where the 78' mark on the tape measure was. You people with perfect eye sight will not need the speed square to see your 78' mark on the tape measure. so to answer your question. Yes, the angle's point created from the board to the ground should be at the 78' mark.

What a great DIY video... Best one on You Tube for this topic! 💪
Our dog is about 85 pounds. I'm guessing this 1/2 inch pine won't hold up long. What do you recommend for framing for this weight?
This ramp would easily hold 100 lbs
@@JONSDIY I’m not a seasoned carpenter but I appreciate it! This will be my go to when I build it
Measure twice, cut once.
