I was trying to decide on which one is better and found this website. www.PortaWalk.com
A concrete ramp would be best for a fixed application, because there are few joints and fasteners to loosen and maintain (handrails only). The downside is that will probably cost the most to build.
If you want to save money on a fixed application, pick a wooden or PortaWalk solution, but either of these are a compromise, because they would likely require some periodic maintenance, and will not perform that well in areas with extreme weather variations.
Aluminum is only best if you need portability to move it from palce to place rather often.
I collected these little buggers because I heard a rumour that if you collect a million tabs, Alcan will donate a wheelchair to a chairty of your choice. I recently found out that wasn't true :( Can you tell me where to sell them in Toronto, Canada so I can use the money towards the purchase of a wheelchair. Thank you.
Actually, the charitable donation thing IS true. Perhaps not with Alcan, but there are many other organizations that will donate wheelchairs or other items to disabled or ill people. Check out www.pulltabsforcharity.org. My dad's company (in BC) collected these a few years ago and donated them through that website.

Used Wheelchairs – Buyers Tips
If you have recently been told you should use a wheelchair then you should consider several things before deciding to buy a used wheelchair . It is not usually recommended that you buy a wheelchair that has been owned and used by another because of the customized features that go into a wheelchair. Wheelchairs are usually chosen according to the fit of the person with height, weight and width taken into consideration when the wheelchair is purchased. Additionally the person's limitations, needs and condition will also be taken in consideration when the wheelchair is chosen and fitted for the original user. Because of this, you should never buy a used wheelchair if you will be using it permanently.
