Hey Andrew! Your videos have been crucially important to the success of my recent shed build. I’m about to install the ramp today, and can’t thank you enough for providing me with the information necessary to make this build work so well. Our shed is beautiful, functional, and durable. Cheers from Collingwood, Ontario, Canada!
Good looking ramp, especially with the leftover deck boards. If using pressure-treated wood, I would probably coat them with paint or a waterproof finish with a bit of fine sand so that the boards aren’t slick in the rain.
Nice work, and I need to build one before spring for my lawn mower. I paid 4K for some box store shed kit and it’s frustrating knowing that I could have built a bigger and stronger shed for that price or less
Yep. Tried telling my co worker that. I just paid $3750 for a 3 year old used shed delivered and leveled. It’s a fully insulated lofted barn, 10x20’. New would have costed $10k. Facebook marketplace!
Excellent ramp. I thought you would pour leftover concrete in wood forms or mathematically calculate the size, angles etc of the woodwork but you did it much easier and i see you worked alone this time.
Another way is measure the distance from the ground to the door of the shed. To determine the length, figure out the rise and run. For example, if you have a 9 inch rise, cut the stringers at a 3/12 pitch which would give you a length of 36 inches- for every 12 inches of length, you have 3 inches of rise. You can then notch out for the ledger board and taper the end of the stringer to the ground. Concrete or even some bricks under the ends will have stability as well as blocking between the stringers. Many ways to get the job done.
Good design that I will probably use. I couldn't help but chuckle though at the trial and error approach to figuring out the angles, including the comment saying that it's not an exact science. Geometry is, in fact, an exact science.
This is a nice video. I'm ready to go with my just delivered Amish shed. One question. I'd like to use 2×4s for the joists. Is that what you used? Is that fine? Ramp will be 4' wide by 28" deep
Hello, since I used a circular saw to cut the joists in a 15 degree angle those didn't come out all the same so now after installing the joists into the other 2 boards my frame isn't level (this is all in my garage and have not installed onto the shed yet)... is that a huge problem? If so how can I fix it? Rather not have to take it apart at this point. Thanks in advance.
Great video. I cut the 8 degree angle on the ledger board too. Used the left over Trex to cover the two sides.

Just gotta do it now since it looked so easy for you!

Hi! I used 2”x4” for my ramp
Thank you . We are waiting for video release always . Great 👍 sharing
Great job and detailed explanation.
Can't wait for our new ramp to our new shed... !
how far down from the shed base do you attatch the ledger board? to allow the doors to close?
Thank you I'll do mine🎉🎉❤❤❤
Great series
How do you get 1.5 inch for your "reference point for next step"?
Good job!
I appreciate it!
Thank you. Subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
What a beautiful ramp, and thanks for the demo. Next, can you come to my house and make one??? 😂😂😂
Very good!😃

Did you use 2x4 or 2x6?
2x4!
What size joists did you use? They look like 2×4s
Are they?
Yes all 2x4’s
5 minutes in so many ads, I can't finish the video.
👍
This won’t work with double doors
Why space?
Set the saw up on a table lad
Looks like Your doors won't close . .
