Building Shed Ramps - DIY

[@PattyHoward]

You are awesome. I'm a 65 year old grandmother diy er. I just had a shed delivered. It's going g to be my workshop. I'm going to follow your video instructions and start my ramp tomorrow. Thank you.

[@AprilWilkerson]

That is awesome! Enjoy the build. Thanks for watching.

[@billmorley3530]

After watching about a dozen videos, I found that this one explained it best!

[@stevenmucker1730]

Me too

[@taylorwalck2103]

I'm using her example for mine, too. Excellent job

[@hatrock66]

Same here. Nicely done.

We recently bought a Tuffshed and needed a ramp - this was REALLY helpful, thank you!

[@jacobchandler7953]

Thank you for this wonderful video. No background music like other videos, Clearly explaining what you were doing, Good Audio, Good Camera Setup..... This video is very helpful for my shed ramp project.

[@bryanporter8976]

I have an almost identical shed and built this ramp over the past weekend using this video as a guide. It wasn’t quite as easy for me as you described, but it came out really well.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Awesome! Glad it helped. Thanks for watching.

[@PrometheanInc]

This morning I completed my second 'April Wikerson' shed ramp. I found your site last year after I completed my 'single handed' shed kit. Never thought about the ramp until it became obvious. your 6 minute video made this task clear and simple. After a year of use, I decided to improve the long entry path to the shed. Location required landscaping to correct water flow across the entry. Once again, a return and review of your ramp video made this significant landscaping and entry path work a success of challenging project. Once I determined slope and effective location in the path, the ramp construction was not only clear and easy (wel...relatively...lol) but when finished upgraded access functionality and overall appearance of the shed. My thanks and deep appreciation for your process skill set which not only clearly presents the design and construction process of the shed ramp, but is inviting to watch due to your video presentation.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. Enjoy your shed. Cheers!

[@drhender6943]

Nice! I built myself a shed a few years back and it can definitely be a time-consuming project. My only regret is that I didn't go bigger. I always enjoy your videos-- they give me ideas for additional projects of my own. Keep up the fabulous work!

[@peterivera7022]

I bought the same shed. So your tips on door trimming was perfect! I decided to build it outside, so I would not have to wrestle the beast into position. Thanks for posting!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Awesome! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.

[@groefa]

Here's a tip: I had to "set" concrete blocks into hard rocky dirt like that for my ramps. I found that a heavy-duty corded drill with a large spade bit really made the digging easy!Love your vids. Keep 'em coming. I'm glad to hear your giving yourself a week off now and then.

[@stevebroander2119]

We got a new shed and needed a ramp, after watching a boatload of Videos on different ways to build one i found your video. Not only was the video clear and showed every step but the way you explained everything was Awesome, I followed your instruction to the "T", the only thing i changed was i used Lag bolts to fasten my ledger board to the shed, my ramp turned out just like yours, as you said in the Video "Perfect". Thanks April.

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

This is a great illustration of the many things you have to do in order to build some really nice ramps! I need to put ramps on each end of my 10x16 shed and add two sets of double doors so I can easily get my zero turn mowers in and out. Glad you shared this long ago! Take care April and please keep on building!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thanks! And thanks for always watching and being supportive.

[@thebackyardwoodshop649]

April, just read a few of your comments, just don't understand why people always have to give their 2 cents on the best way to do things. You have built pretty good projects in the past and if it tears up you have learned from it. Your hard work has turned into a good business out of these helpful videos . Just wanted to say keep up the good work and videos.

[@musiteufel]

Where is the problem with well meant recommendations? Most comments of the kind you've described have actually really good points.

[@jamiejamiejamiejamie]

This used to bother me too, but I think at this point the creators expect it, and hopefully deal with it gracefully. As someone who does projects, based on youtube videos, I often appreciate additional input from the comment section.

[@larrybe2900]

+The Backyard Wood Shop I can assure you 95% of the comments are meant as constructive opinions so April has a wealth of ideas the next time she approaches a project. April is not above fatherly advice. At least we are not 100 or so guys standing over her shoulder as she is doing the project. Now that would get dangerous.:)

[@DougHubbard]

I can't speak for others but my comments are meant along the lines the other commenters seem to indicate, more of an "I messed this up once and here is what I learned" or "here is another thing to think about" I love April's videos and learn a lot from watching them so it only seems fair to chime in when I see something that IMHO could be done a different way (not necessarily a better way but different)

[@emp0rizzle]

Because one person doesn't know everything? Even AvE gets comments and that dude is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to materials.

[@JamesFair]

Just what I was after! Excellent tutorial with the right combination of information without too much detail. Great work and thanks very much, April!

[@gailtaylor1636]

I love it when somebody does a right-to-the-point video. Excellent! I need to add one to my shed but would like to mount it with hinges. Just fold it against the doors. Have 3/4 treated plywood and 2x4's. Don't intend to roll anything in over maybe 100lbs, except me I guess? I could go get a 2x12 and make stringers? Don't really want the weight though...I'll think on it some more.

[@snoopy6867]

April, you make this (and your other projects) look so easy. Thank you for the inspiration and motivating me on my new hobby. You always seem like your having a great time.

[@parcerita18]

You are awesome! Ever since i started watching your videos you have given me confidence to believe that we are capable of doing anything we put our mind into. Thank you so much!

[@firebird8600]

I'm glad to hear that you are alright. I hope you and your family haven't been too effected by that hurricane down there.

[@HoustonR6ryda]

That first step,when you cut away the over hang actually saved my day,I had every thing else figured out . I wanted to thank you for that simple solution that had me stumped,your channel content is awesome.

[@edguillaud9092]

I did mine a little different, made my ramp out of metal. I used some 1/8 2 inch channel and some 5/16 diamond plate. I made it with hinges to fold up inside the door. My door also hung lower than the floor and didn't want water to be able to get into it. I also know if I built it out of wood it was going to go bad. Just want to mention it to you. I watched videos and yours is one of the better ones. Very nice job.

[@rbuste]

I really envy your problem solving/engineering skills. I often get sidetracked by frustration trying to find the right tool/tool combination to create solutions to some of the angle finding that is required. Great job.

[@hammockmonk]

I need to replace a step with a ramp like this. It’s a pretty simple job but I still enjoy walking through it with April beforehand. Thanks April!

[@Farmboy1544]

Awesome job as usual. However a few points that may save a problem down the road. Consider placing two small vertical posts under the high side of the ramp for support. This way you are not solely relying on the shear force of deck screw in holding all of the weight when moving heavier implements in and out. Secondly the leading edge of the ramp is too low. As it is below final grade, it will rot off sooner than later. The way around this is make sure the ramp is 1-2" above final grade on the pavers. But then make a sacrificial leading edge, say two 2x6's screwed together and then buried in the ground that "bump" you up to the ramp. If you do it right then they will be flush to the ramp deck. This way it will be easier to replace a couple of boards instead of having to fix rotted stringers at the bottom of the ramp. Just a thought for you.

[@joaquinsuarez6090]

Good idea. Many people bury the start of the ramp on the ground to avoid the bump but wood will rot very soon that way. I might take your advise leaving beginning of ramp 1 inch higher than ground on concrete pavers and then use 2 pieces of 2 x 6 screwed together to level that1 inch bump and might use the composite/plastic decking ones so they never rot.

[@Colorado-Tinkering]

Super awesome, April. I have a shed that needs it’s flimsy and rotten ramp replaced. I’m so happy I ran across your vid.

[@AndrewWon8741]

My brother and I made this ramp. Don't usually comment on videos but I just wanted to say thank you for making this video. We found it very helpful. Also don't mind admitting that figuring out that angle trick you did took more than a couple views :D.

[@johnbrooks1269]

Well done April. Space under the shed will attract critters to build a home, skunks are notorious for such antics. Another upgrade would be two windows on the southside. Slap some 1x3 as rectangles to get design idea. Cheers.

[@szlash280z]

I'm glad you made this video. I built my shed 6 years ago, it's on stilts, I didn't build a ramp. It sucks to just climb inside and it's worse putting heavy things in it. My doors are similar to what yours were, so I just never came up with a way to overcome that issue. I plan on moving my riding lawn mower into the shed but can't without a ramp. Now I have a good idea of how I can do it. thanks!

[@07040Michael]

Many, many thanks for this video, especially the tip on the overhang portion of the door that was not level with the floor. I built a shed following on-line instructions and then discovered that I couldn't install a ramp. I've been stumped for the past two years until I saw your video. Eureka! The overhang section has now been removed from each door and I can try (i.e., struggle) to follow the rest of your instructions to finally have a ramp into the shed. I continue to learn from your postings and am grateful for your creativity.

[@presley822]

Whenever I need motivation to work on a project your videos are just the inspiration I need. I think I have the energy to throw together a couple raised garden beds now :) Nothing like seeing the results of your time and effort after a project is completed!

Great video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a smashing exclusive product for building better sheds and woodworking minus the headache. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my close friend Aubrey after a lifetime of fighting got great results with it.

[@TheLexiconDevils]

Trick? It’s common sense you imbecile

[@robertpowell7073]

Nope! She got the top angle set with the end of the hoist 5-1/2” higher than its finished point. What she doesn’t show is that after getting the bottom cut she had to re-cut the top angle. The way to do it is first put the header in place. Then you rest the joist on top of header and use a straight edge to scribe the top angle while using a scrap of the same dimension as joist placed on the ground to scrub the bottom cut. So that the joist drops in place by the same amount on top and bottom and doesn’t change the angle. I’ve built literally hundreds of ramps. Maybe over a thousand

[@Sonal_Mobile]

Even with pre-fabricated things, there's still quite a bit of work to do. Great work, April!

[@AprilWilkerson]

That's true! I spent a lot of time on the shed since getting it. And! I still have more to do.

great video and I am using it to build my ramp .Lucky my shed has a roll up door and worst is that it is 18 inch's off the ground .I am adding side railings so if the ramp gets slippery I have something to hold onto when walking up it .My shed is for my 2 ride on mowers and a small work shop.I also put plastic sheeting under mine a put some water sealant on the block and the under side of the shed .This way dampness would not get bad in my metal shed , You video was a big help and when I add my video I will have to add your name to it .Thank You

Nice project April, and yes there are comments suggestion lag screws etc, so long as those screws were long enough and weather resistant I do not see a problem here, and I used to frame houses for a living so we used nails lol.

Ms April, AWESOME video Ma'am! I am actually out on my property building my motorcycle ramp on my shed now! I am not well versed in the mathematics department and was struggling with correct angles for my runner boards! You just showed me the easiest way to come with those angles! This is my first shed/motorcycle shop (14×30 ft) and I'm ready to been done with this project! Lol Again, THANK YOU 😎👍

[@fdort3971]

@AprilWilkerson thanks for the lesson. Thanks to one of your other videos, I was able to move my existing shed over. Thanks to too much rain, water decided to change it's trajectory and go under the existing space. Now I need a new ramp because it's sitting higher. Thanks for the lesson

[@AprilWilkerson]

Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.

[@pta8734]

Thanks April, I followed your plan exactly. I live in New England so added a 2" x 2" board on both sides so prevent sliding off in the snow. Also will help in not stepping off the ramp after a heavy snow that might overtake the ramp dimensions. Thanks.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Good thinking! Glad you enjoyed the build.

[@SJ-gd6bo]

Nice work, I built mine a couple years back almost the same design. However, I noticed an issue with the ramp being flush with the floor. During a rain, I get water infiltration and it has started to warp the floor. I added a piece of flashing to help prevent as much rain. Just a thought if you run into that issue. I have never commented on youtube, so keep up the projects.

[@FStewartIII]

do you have any pictures of your flashing and how you placed it?

[@SJ-gd6bo]

@@FStewartIII sorry i sure dont, but to flash it correctly you would put flashing under the siding, if that option wont work, placing it under the trim would help. I also made sure to leave a large enough gap between the ramp and the shed, that has helped aswell.

[@mikeomelia4293]

I really found this useful. Fair warning, I am an engineer. Lol. The solution you presented will work on a dirt surface with a small shed floor height. I have a hard surface.And I did not want to torque the boards down or build up under them. I have a spreadsheet that accurately calculates both cut angles (they are the same). You can use a speed square to mark them. Inputs are board height, header board height above surface, and ramp side board length. If interested, I can send for those who care to see. Thank u!

[@mikeomelia4293]

If you watch carefully, the second measurement and cut is for a "floor" that is above ground level. That is, in part, why she is using pavers. I wanted more contact surface between cut board and hard surface. If I do just the way April suggested, then the only contact point is with front edge of cut. You can see this in her video. Plus, her boards must torque down to make that contact. Wood is good for this! I hope this comes off as helpful. I would not have found this solution without watching April's work.

Great carpentry April Wilkerson ! I've enjoyed all the projects , very useful no matter what level of carpenter a person is . Keep making sawdust...

[@MrSteppingstone888]

Hi April. I built my shed because I had time, and 1/2 was for my lathe room the other half the garden tractor, so I built a ramp also. I used pressure treated lumber for the ramp, pre dug the landing area and used the 4x16 solid blocks at the ground level and may of used concrete mix also can't remember. at the header the doors I made were already even with the floor so I was able to build up to the floor height, for my header I notched the joist and then used a 2x4 under them across the width and everything was great. However LOL my mistake was not spraying down weed killer and using the material to keep the dirt covered, later grass started growing up thru my ramp boards, those were spaced using a pencil at the time, so later I had to remove some boards to pull the grass out Also during winter because the doors did not have a overhang at the bottom I would lay down a 1x4 along the inside of the doors to keep snow and weather from blowing in. one door has the slide bolt at the bottom to lock it in so the board had to be notched accordingly, any rate I hate the fact I had to give up 1/2 to the lawn tractor so later Iam kicking it out and getting a smaller shed for it LOL there is a small plumb tree that ruined the bigger size I wanted as my wife said "dont you dare cut that down LOL my shed was 16x16 btw and I made the walls taller than 8ft to create room height and also have storage on top of my insulated heated side where my lathe room is. Nice job April and nice size shed did you have to anchor it with 4x4 in concrete for the wind, that is code over here.

[@greghoover6102]

Eager to see the next one. My 10x16 shed is full of lawn stuff and I'd love to be able to get at least one bike in there for winter storage so I have somewhere to have the snowblower in the garage. Love my house, hate my tiny garage. :-(

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

These ramps are nice and strong. They should last a long time! Great Job!

[@benningtoncamper2852]

Did you re-treat your cut ends where they are at ground level? It has been my experience that they will deteriorate first with the moisture retained by the cement blocks.

[@Qasim.iraq91]

Bennington Camper she usually use treated wood as i remember

[@benningtoncamper2852]

Qasim Ahmed I expect she,did, however, that does not change my comment. Cut ends of PT wood should always be retreated.

[@Ham68229]

Just using pressure treated then cutting into it, actually opens it up to the elements. The lumber is not soaked per say with treatment, rather it's just sprayed on, just like what you would do to protect your deck. The ends should've been retreated.

[@shinerlightman]

One method to minimize this is to place a piece of asphalt shingle between the treated material and concrete patio paver. I did this for the treated framework for my shed building(needs that ramp).

[@alanc745]

Apply silicone caulk to exposed material..works for ever!!

[@stanleyjones2085]

Great Job April, the only thing I would have done differently is to level off the ground where I put the shed, but I have a skid steer which would make it a breeze (if I didn't have a skid steer there would be no way I would attempt to level the ground).

[@AprilWilkerson]

[@byonbill9499]

Maybe looks are deceiving but it seems that some type of support to the ground at the shed side of the ramp would be appropriate. It depends upon the weight they are expected to bare I suppose. As always you make these projects look easy. It is nice to see a couple of well behaved pups keeping you company.

[@GrumpysWorkshop]

The most weight going into that shed is motorcycles and 4wheelers, so about 500lbs plus rider, so screws should be plenty holding that board in place for quite a while. If you wanted to be doubly sure, lag bolts or just regular bolts going into the shed frame would be stronger. The weak point is actually the screws going into the joist end grain from the other direction, and some stainless steel joist hangers would reinforce that enough to park a truck on it.

[@95SLE]

I like that you used 5 stringers. I have to replace a 10 YO ramp to handle a zero turn mower. Another fun project. The last ramp I just cut the stringers in half, corner to corner, on the length. I like your method better. I do have a solid paver base installed under the ramp.

[@sundaynightdrunk]

Seriously impressed at how you handled the angles there to get it level. To keep terms straight, it's not a header but a ledger board that you installed under the doors. Headers go above (thus, header) openings like windows and doors.

[@rickcolumbo3148]

Then explain cripples. :-)

[@sundaynightdrunk]

A cripple wall is a short wall between a foundation and a structure, creating a crawl space beneath that structure. Pretty simple. Ledgers hang floors off of structures, or in this case, a ramp. Not a header. Headers are something else completely.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Nice job, as always. There are only two suggestions from an old contractor, Lag the ramps to the shed for better shear strength if you're loading heavy objects like you said, motor cycles. Second, some paint or weatherization treatment on thos joists/runners. Even on blocks the bottoms will deteriorate quicker than you would probably like. And I'd hate to see yall getting the M/Cs out and a sudden drop grom collapse cause damage to the bikes and/or injuries to you guys. It's your project, so it is ultimately your call.

[@340rps]

I like to use driveway crack filler anywhere close to ground contact.

[@GnosisMan50]

Regarding the weatherization treatment on the joists/runners, Tom, I'm assuming she's using treated lumber. I'm working on a ramp myself and the wood I'm using is "severe weather treaded" lumber (according to Lowe's). Since this wood is already treated, can it be treated further? I ask because it seems treated wood does not seem to last that long. The wood dries up begging to be painted. When I do, it only lasted a few years and the paint starts to come off.

[@woodywoodworkerfuller9921]

Nice !!!! I love your channel, I'm a fella TEXAN. West of Fort Worth. If y'all ever pass through Palo Pinto county, gimme a holler. Keep up the good work.

[@BigDsHomestead]

You should seal up all cut ends even though its treated lumber. Plus, you should put some legs or some other support like blocks under it to support it even though you are using 2x6's. All 3 of my ramps are made up of 2x4's and I either have legs under each joist, spaced a few feet apart or I use blocks. I put my 3 motorcycles in one of my 3 sheds and haven't had a problem. Nice job, April.

Great job! What were the lengths of the joist you used on each ramp? Thanks for posting.

[@JoelHudson]

Love your "Helpers" 🐕🐩 April!

[@LordoftheCats]

Nice. Simple, well documented, and easily duplicated. My habit of overkill in the design area would require me to plant some 4x4's set in concrete midway down the joists. The purpose is to make the load-bearing capability greater and prevent any sway from developing in the long run. Great Video. The best of several I watched on the subject. I subscribed. I'm thinking with the cost of lumber these days, it would be more economical to make this from poured concrete....or gold. LOL

[@Dom-pf8wd]

That's the sauce, Boss!...Great job getting it done!...and making it look easy.

[@cshaiku]

I always love your videos, your attitude and enthusiasm and skill shine through, and its a genuine pleasure to watch. That said, I would suggest you put in some crushed gravel and/or sand as a base below your pavers as in time they will sink into the ground or move as rain and weather eat away at the dirt. Source: 6 years commercial landscaping and have seen it happen time and again. Having wood in direct contact with the ground is never a good idea in the long run, even if its pressure treated wood. In this specific case having no drainage system in place to stabilize the footings is a bad idea in the long run and will cause your wooden ramps to shift in time. Just some feedback, and I hope you look into it further, because I want to see you succeed and not have issues, even though overcoming issues is always a great learning experience in life! :D Thanks April, stay awesome!

[@Joshua79C]

From her carport build it is safe to say that sinking is not much an issue and if it happens, its easy to raise a shed to re-level it.

[@PoorlyPlayingMagic]

Thank you! I just had the same kind of shed intalled, and am in need of the same. Such an easy concept, but it helps to see someone that knows what they're doing do it first to avoid those pitfalls where you need to rethink and start over.

.Nice video. Wanted to get some leveling tips and tricks and this shows that nicely. I think I will use joist hangers for the ramp stringers, not so much because of the shear strength, but worrying more about vibration and freezing/thawing over time pulling the nails/screws out of the end grain on the stringers. Probably will use lag bolts on the ledger board, and will wrap the cut ends of the ramp stringers with flexible flashing (Vycor is great stuff). The stupid ramp will probably outlive me, but then I won't have to worry about rebuilding it!

So happy that I found your channel and in love to see another woman/woodworker getting sh!t done!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jroberts3000]

can't wait to show my daughter your projects. They inspire me, and hopefully her too.... ;)

[@nickscognarealtor4045]

Nice job. Good explanation of how to get the angles. Thanks! 😀

[@kamelk2144]

Very great job and well explained...as we would say in France : BRAVO ! Thank U. It deserves positives comments only

[@rafaeldiazus]

Great job and construction form was solid.

[@josephmccoy2672]

If you get ice and snow, I suggest you put something that will give your feet traction. I was pulling something up the ramp and didn't realize there was a thin layer of frost. Needless to say, I slammed my upper body and head down on the ramp. I bought a roll of roofing and glued it on the ramp. . . no more slips.

Only build this if you feel inclined to do so. #dadjoke

[@Joshua79C]

There was something I was going to say as a joke but it descended to this reply.

[@donayre21]

Go home.

[@thomasarussellsr]

BradPow yeah, there's always a little "rise" and "run" with every job. Some times you just have to "pitch" it out there.

[@likearockcm]
