Build your own mini ramp how to#

The next step in building the ramp is marking out a line on the transitions. Trace and then use your saw to cut it out to get the second transition. Flip the other side of the plywood and place the cut-out transition on the other side. After this, you saw out the marked part of the plywood to get your transition. Once it’s done, you drag the 2×4 edge fitted with a pen, so it marks a perfect tranny on the plywood. Then mark out the height of the plywood from the 2×4 lying on it with a pencil. Then you drill a hole at the other edge of the 2×4 and fit a pencil in it, so it touches the plywood. So, put the 2×4 on the plywood and screw it together in the middle of the 2×4 precisely at 7 feet. For this ramp, we would make a 7-foot transition. To get the transitions perfect, you take one of the 2×4 and place it on the plywood. You must measure the length of the 2x4s with the transitions. The mini ramp will be in two sections, the 8-feet wide and 4-feet wide section which can then be combined later.

You will also need a chalk line used to see where you place your 2x4s under the plywood when you have started building, as well as a heavy-duty pencil. A saw to cut 2x4s because mini ramps are made with a lot of 2x4s, tape rule, a decent assortment of drill bits, level the ramp has to be on the same level.
