First Time Building a Wheelchair Ramp : Porch Add on

Last fall I built the front porch on this property. Well they had me come back and add on the ramp they was planned.

Thanks for the comment

beautiful job. The supports for handrail what was the spacing measurement? I think it was an overkill, looks like 5 inches apart but looks GREAT! Thumbs up

4" is code in most places.

I actually used prefabricated top and bottom rails from Lowe’s.

How much of a slope did you do? Is it like an inch for every 12 in?

Good job

Surprised ur inspectors don't make u put forms under ur posts. In mass they would make u put atleast 36 inches of concrete under ground at each post so that over time they don't sink under the weight of the deck. But pretty good idea for a deck ramp 👍

There were no inspectors involved in the project. I just built this for a family friend. I’m not a contractor nor is this a business of mine. I did use forms everywhere I could that wasn’t on the slab of concrete. The tree made it difficult to dig down in a few places

I'd bet, your frost line in Mass is a bit lower than where he is anyway.

How long is the overall ramp? Needs a resting pad if longer than 9 metres.

If I'm doing one with balusters, how do I figure the decrease in baluster height? As in how much to take off each one going down?

Film is too fast to see what you are doing sometimes. We need a step by step explaining it.

Sorry, I wasn’t great with making these videos and I’m still not but I’m working on it
