Wheelchair Ramp

i want to build a wheelchair ramp at a friends house so that she can get in and out with an electric wheelchair. can anyone tell me the correct mix for the concrete

they sell the stuff already mixed, just add water

is it a big ramp or a little ramp, wood may be more appropriate if it is a long run

I bet you thought you could do this easily, lol, here are ADA specifications to overwhelm you

Look at several poorly designed wheelchair ramps and hear users' responses. Focus on usability and safety. From www.WheelchairRamp.org Visit ...

We have 4 stairs and I'd love to find a way for my sister who needs a wheelchair to come visit us. I don't need a permanant structure, she would come only 2 -3 times per year if we could get her up some kind of ramp.

if you would like to build one you can go too http://www.instructables.com/id/ECJY5ZWG OMEP286QWG/ for plans or you can buy one at http://www.portable-wheelchair-ramps.com /

what would be best to use on a wheelchair ramp to stop it from being so slippery when it rains or snow.

Try adhesive backed anti-slip tape.

Hello. I need to buy a portable wheelchair ramp but I need one under or near $200. I've looked on ebay, craigslist, and various online discount stores. I live in Nor. Cal near Sacramento. Any ideas?

Does anyone know where my dad and I can get plans for a temporary ramp? All the plans we have found involve making it a permanent part of the house. My mother just had surgery that is going to confine her to a wheelchair for only about 3 months. We need a plan that is quick to put up and take down, but will be strudy enough to last a couple months. Any links or ideas? Thanks!

My husband built a wooden temporary ramp for my mother using 2x4's and plywood. He attached it to our deck and when she no longer needed it, he removed it. You can use any plan for a wooden wheelchair ramp but attach it to a deck or porch using screws that can be removed later.Do not use materials that make it a permanent fixture like concrete place the support studs on paving stones to keep them from sinking in the dirt and follow the rest of the plans Just use screws instead of nails so it can be removed and disasembled when no longer needed..Make sure you use something on the surface for traction and old piece of carpet or a plastic runner turned bumpy side up.
