Once you decide on your transition needs, then you can work out whether your materials will allow for a deck space or if you'll need to add that using the 2x4 approach. I'd suggest somewhere in the 6'-8' range, but it really comes down to what's "too" much/little for you, Goldilocks. The design you see here is flexible enough to be adapted to any home or small business, and the plans include the kind of construction details you don’t often see online.

Our mini ramp is 12 feet wide x 24 feet long x 3 1/2 feet tall with a 7 foot transition. Download the plans here and watch the construction tour video for a great wheelchair access ramp design that also works well for anyone that finds stairs difficult to climb. The slope is ideal to prevent water from pooling but not great for building a skate ramp. a big radius), or a tight little steep one where you're being thrown upwards really quick (a small radius) or something in the middle? I assuming you want something in the middle. Our mini ramp is built on the back part of our yard which slopes down to assist with water runoff.

Tldr: Need help deciding on transition for 3ft tall mini.

So to all of you mini ramp building veterans out there, what radius length should I use so that my mini ramp won't be too steep and won't be too flat? I want to find the perfect radius length for my transition. Because of this, I am scared shitless to start cutting the transition on my ply because I don't want too much or too little transition.

We have everything we need, but I haven't been able to decide on how to make the transition.Ī lot of ramp plans out there switch back and forth from having a transition that leaves about a three foot long space for the deck on the side ply to having 4-8 in of space and then using 2x4s to build the deck outwards from the plywood. We have everything we need, but I haven't been. My friends and I have recently bought all of the supplies that we need to start building the frame of a 3ft tall/24 ft long/12 ft wide mini ramp.
