Never in one million years would I have thought searching “how to build a dog ramp” would yield such a wonderful result lol. Thank you for making this video!
seriously, the way you swap between left and right hands like your teaching us how to play pool was a lot of fun to watch. thanks friend and watch yer fingers!
That’s great, partner! It took our little old dog several months to start using it on his own, but now he uses it all the time. If not at first, I’m sure the pup will eventually come around.
Thank you Mr. Greg! I was just coming home from a walk with our dog when I noticed how stiffly he was walking up the stairs. 🥺 This dog saw me and my husband through our twenties - he was such an energetic 75lb menace when I met him, that my first birthday present for my husband when we were dating was to get his dog fixed! Lol. I was like “if this gets serious I’m going to have to put up with this dog for at least 10 years, so let’s get this dealt with now.” Well obviously it did get serious, and that dog stole my heart, and now I’m like “10 years just isn’t enough. Let’s get that dog immortality research moving people!” As we enter our thirties and our lives are starting to wind up, his is starting to wind down. How is that fair? It make my heart physically ache. Anyway. We want to do everything we can to give him a great quality of life as an older boy. This will help us keep his joints safe and spry getting on and off the bed… especially because his energy is ‘aging’ MUCH slower than his joints! Lol. Thank you for this valuable tutorial, from our family!
You’re welcome, partner! A dog’s life is always too short. Glad to hear you are finding ways to make the most comfortable aging years for man’s best friend.
I like this video. One idea about the video is it would have been helpful for me to visualize the process if the video started with a picture of the end product. I'm very spatially oriented and mechanically inclined but I wasn't sure where this was going. It was like this is the top, the side, bla, bla, bla but I had no vision of where you were going. It made sense to me in the end but like I said I would have got it the first time if I knew where you were headed. All that said - I do love the video and I think it's a good design.
Howdy, partner! Just decrease/increase the height of the 4 box sides and the rest should work just fine. You could also lengthen or shorten the ramp, although a couple inches won’t make much difference in slope. Let us know how it goes!
im probably gonna make my ramp a lil bit longer and drop it lower on the support "tower" adding a lip/step to the final landing. got an old man with long legs so gotta keep the angle low while still getting him up. dont want him to jump, so boxes wouldn't work. i dunno what do yall think?
Great presentation! It would be good to get the specs with a list of the tools you used, suggested alternative variations, images, and a transcript in the description or to be able to download it as a pdf from a website! 🎉
How much weight can it hold? My dog is almost 40lbs. Doesn't look thick enough and the ramp part is steep for an elderly dog having issues with her hind legs being weak. But great for a dog 15lbs or lighter probably?
Howdy, partner! It’s pretty sturdy but I can’t really give it a concrete weight rating. The ramp can be less steep if made longer. If in doubt, I’d probably recommend a pre-fab dog ramp with a certified weight rating. Good luck!
Howdy partner! You could definitely build this with a hammer and nails or a drill and screws. You’re right, the nail gun just makes life easier. Best of luck!

Best video I've found for making a ramp. Thanks.
My husband and made your dog ramp…directions were so easy to follow! Now have to train dog to use it! 😊

Wow, you made this so easy!
You are awesome and thank you!
Thanks, partner! That is really nice to hear. Sounds like you did a great job with the project!

Howdy, partner! Thanks for the feedback. Good idea for sure.
Thank you …great job explaining everything!😊
Thanks, partner! I appreciate it!
Thanks for the video. Quick and to the point.
You’re welcome, partner! Thanks for watching!
Now, one more time but in metric system. 😮😊
Haha! Sorry partner - didn't even think of that!
But will you show how to find the measurements for different size height?
Howdy, partner! Just decrease/increase the height of the 4 box sides and the rest should work just fine. You could also lengthen or shorten the ramp, although a couple inches won’t make much difference in slope. Let us know how it goes!

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled that I could make it easy for you.
Ty for the video bro
Anytime, partner!

Great idea, partner! Let us know how it turns out!
Awesome and great job! Wish you lived close to me, I'd hire you to make one. 😃
Thanks, partner! You can make one just as good I’m sure. Best of luck!
Great video! Now let's hope its as easy to build as it looks .😁
@@nancyirwin7824 you got this, partner!

Is there any way we wouldn't need a nail gun for this and use nails and a hammer? Or it makes life wayyy easier with it

Pauchi says Use treats🐶🦴
Good idea, partner!!
