I am planning on building a ramp for Joey so she can go up and down our stairs. I work from my home office, which is located in the 2nd floor of the house. She prefers to play, sleep, and eat on the first floor for the most part. I would like her to be able to go up and down as she pleases. There are only 6 stairs between the two floors.
The ramp would have to be 76 inches long to go from the floor to the top of the stairs. I'm not sure how wide to make it yet.
Basically, I'm planning on getting two 1/4" piece of plywood pieces cut to half the length and full width I decide on so I can put hinges in the middle so it can be folded and stored if necessary. I will be screwing two 2x4s running the length of the board for support. I will staple heavy carpet to it for traction.
Does anyone have any input or suggestions? Do you think this will work for her?
Thanks in advance!
