Shed ramp
 

So I have a sliding door on the end of my shop. I want to be able to park my cubs inside this door so I dont have to move any cars to get them out the main door. The problem I have is the foundation is 5" above the ground. Im looking for suggestions to build a ramp in order to be able to pull in, keeping in mind I will have to leave a gap for the door to slide though. Ive googled and seen some other ramps but couldnt really find anything similar to what Im trying to accomplish. Thanks in advance...and Im not sure why my pics are sideways

admins please delete this thread, i double posted

Hmmm :bigthink: thought I posted a response to this yesterday.. dejavu lol..

Interesting indeed.

So, I think the other post got deleted.
My suggestion if you did not see it was to set forms and pour a ramp in concrete leaving a gap large enough for door to pass. That small of a gap will not hinder wheeled things like cars or tractors. You could keep a piece of lumber handy to fill the gap when needed. Its either that or altering or cutting the door.

If you go with a curb or a concrete ramp, you might have to address the possibility of the gap filling with snow and ice in winter.
Could possibly freeze your door shut.

That's what I said in his other thread...... that apparently got delete? :bigthink:

I also stated that I'd he poured a concrete approach, it would have to have a footer at the door, or it will hoove up in the winter during freeze and jam the door. But still have the same issue with the door track filling with snow.

A non permanent ramp is best. It's that or rework the door.

Sorry, If I had seen the other thread I would have let you repeat your post.

No, It's fine. This is the thread he asked to be deleted as a duplicate. I don't understand why the other one is the one that got deleted. Accident I guess?? It had all the posts in it. This one originally just had the first post, and the second asking for deletion.
