For every inch in height you must make ramp 18 inches in length. Build a sturdy frame of 2x4's and attach 3/4 inch plywood on top. It's kinda hard to tell you without more info but you can always go to the nearest lumber dept. and ask for advice. Good Luck.

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 need to build one that is movable, not fixed. We have a 3.25" threshhold from the outside and another one in the house, so I need to build 2. My husband says he needs at least 4 or 5 feet to maneuver his manual wheelchair up the ramp.

Where do I go to find the best battery available for frequent ...
If you need it installed and even custom made for you need, There is in my mind no better business than Batteries Plus.
They’ve always installed or checked my car batteries for free with a smile. They also custom built batteries for some of my old equipment when I thought there was no way I would be able to find a new battery.
There is one about 10 miles away from Lynnwood in Everett. Here is the url to the store location:
You need a good battery (or 2) and you need a good system of keeping it charged.
I would take it to a specialized shop to get their evaluation and see how much they would charge for various upgrades. Look into adding an additional battery, upgrading your alternator to a high-output one, and also setting up an easy method of hooking your battery up to a charger at home.
