ramp for a container
#7
(01-30-2023, 03:07 PM)venture007 Wrote: I am going to store my bike in an 8 ft shipping container as I have no garage. The container will be about 6 inches high from floor to entrance height. I am going to measure it on Thursday so will know exactly. I guess as only partial weight will be on it and it does not need to be long it won't need to be too industrial. Suggestions of just making one seem reasonable but if it's not too tall I can probably get a curb ramp for £30. The wood and nails and time would cost me more than that probably LOL.

Amazing what a little bit of clarification can do. Smile

So now we know that the container will not be moving and will only be 6" off the ground, then the ramps I suggested are overkill, and the wooden ramp that Lee suggested along with the video is more along the lines of what is needed.

AAMOF, it too may be overkill especially if you're not handy. The 6" inch height can probably be overcome without any ramp whatsoever, but if you do want to "soften" that rise, you could get some lumber about 3 - 4 ft long and stack them up, and use long nails to affix them to each other.
