How to Build A Home Access Ramp - Part One
Uploaded on Sep 26, 2011Learn how to build a wheelchair ramp to make your home more accessible with these step by step instructions from Lowe's. In Part One of this series, you'll learn how to design your ramp and plan your layout.
Check building codes before you begin your wheelchair ramp. The higher your door is off the ground, the longer your ramp will be. You may need to make a U or L shape with your ramp. The ADA recommends a 1 to 12 slope. Use rest platforms at turns, at the top, and at the bottom. These should be at least 60" x 60".
Add the railings according the specifications mentioned in this video. Use balusters or spindles for safety. You can use treated lumber, but it will require more maintenance than a ramp built with composite material.
Measure for your ramp and create a design that works best for you. Make a drawing on graph paper and check local codes.
