Easiest Way to Build a Ramp For Your Shed

[@philipatha]

I LITERALLY just did this today.. stop watching me Jeff. I put my edge on stones though to slow down the rot.

[@kevinarnold7065]

Out of curiosity, why not just screw the back end of the ramp to another 2x8 board and screw that straight to the shed base?

[@isaiahmoger3225]

The first deck board would have a gap at the seam into the shed that way. Minor reason but still a reason.

[@GhostReaper2043]

Very nice looking shed by the way now I want to build one for myself. If I may suggest something that would make this shed even better. Put some solar lights on the outside next to the door and put some inside the shed to make it easier to see inside at night. Also, I'd wire in some outlets to allow for charging batteries and battery-operated lawn equipment. Then again I will always use gas-powered lawn equipment.

I can't wait to get a set of build plans there Jeff 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

coming coon.

You know what I love... every about it. Currently redoing JOIST... and this popped up. Is it a ramp? NOPE! . WILL I LEARN something from this video?? ABSOLUTELY!! Best

[@AWARHERO]

Screw your 3 "ramp" parts to a back board and then screw the board to the shed... Way sexier and sturdier then drilling at an angle...

[@wrenchboostboi8994]

My thoughts exactly. Ive literally just heard him talking about how angled screws threw the edge of a board barely hold anything structurally, literally just in his shed building tutorial, now he’s doing it to structurally hold an entire ramp. Now in his defence he added the 2x4s later that sit on the ground and hold the weight, but still… not the best anchor system to the shed. He definitely wouldn’t fasten a deck to a home foundation that way!

For simple longevity, i always drop a line of whatever caulk i have on hand (preferably silicon, but not going to buy a tube for that, i'd take any leftover) on top of a piece of wood where i know water will be trapped between if i don't. I would have added that over your horizontal 2x4s there. It is just crazy how fast wood rot in this circumstance, imo it worth the pennies for a bit of caulking.

[@joeverna5459]

On my shed i attached the ramp about 4" below the shed floor. I installed a removable wedge to bring the ramp flush to the shed floor. In the winter, i remove this wedge sothe snow won't be laying up against the shed doors and warping and rotting my doors.

Appreciate your explanation and showing how to

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Siry2000]

Love the full end to end on this shed build. Most useful shed series out there. Thank you!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

Glad you like it!

[@gcoffey223]

Yes!!! I understand the vertical!!!

[@nn-yo2]

thanks as always for sharing the knowledge! you are the man

[@michaeldelarm1630]

" we could use a chalk line" (immediate nope and 3 seconds later), "man thats really crooked"

[@cindybarber8449]

Could have screwed a board to the ends at top and screwed that to the shed. Angled ends touching the dirt will rot pretty quick

[@TimSilvey-b7k]

As always, another great and useful video !!

[@zemtek420]

I am not even sure how I built my shed ramp but its been working since 2013 and I have not had the need to repair it once. I do need to spray wash it again though.

[@jme214]

You can spray wash it next year

[@holyquran430]

Hey there! Lucky me, I'm in Calgary, Alberta, and we’re actually having a storm right now! 😂

[@tallen1596]

You have the best videos 👍

[@Iam_jardow]

This is the most boneheaded ramp process ive ever seen.

[@GhostReaper2043]

really then this isnt for you then

[@gcoffey223]

The way you found slope .... yeah... I'm not a carpenter but If I was I want to be you😂😂😂

[@isaiahmoger3225]

Is it accurate or inaccurate? I tried this on a deck ramp-to-driveway and really struggled but couldn’t tell any.

[@BDAShadow1]

At this point why not just use joist hangers?

[@TheBennyneb]

Had the same thought but I’m no carpenter lol

[@Fletch001]

Nice...

[@gcoffey223]

Why cut the 45 in the beginning?? Rhetorical, don't waste time explaining, I won't understand. Just 👍 if you feel my pain

[@kylejack4421]

just curious, sometimes, why not just say from the start that this is the first time you are trying this, so painfully obvious sometimes that you are making it up as you go along.

[@watcherofwatchers]

Whether true or not, he is employing and teaching principles. That's what people that know what they're doing do; they apply skill and knowledge to new situations to solve problems. Why not just keep thoughts like yours to yourself? It's obvious that you're not a skilled or knowledgeable person.

[@JimWatsonTheframingMagician]

I would have attached the top of the stringers to plywood, screwing the ends of them through the plywood. Then you can easily attach all them at once once to the rim by screwing the plywood into the rim.

[@GrappIer]

Thanks bud, going to put this on my laptop and give it a go in the spring since mines fucked

[@dmacrolens]

You should not be that winded from such little activity. Get your heart and associated pathways checked out!!

[@taccosnachos]

They probably built the whole shed in a day and broke it up into several videos dude...

[@Kains_whored]

Lmao you outta see me after using the toilet .. sound like I just ran a marathon. Lmaooo
