First off thank you for the comments everyone. I just want to clarify a few things. I apologize for using the title of handicap ramp as I am aware that this is not 1/12 pitch. The premise for the project was simply to give her much easier access in walking up to the door as she was very sick and could not navigate stairs. The idea of the video was more or less just a quick build ramp to ease the height increase and I just wanted to show how to whip up a ramp that would be sturdy and hold the test of time just fine. Also I know a lot of you commented on the door and I did address some of you. The storm door frame was removed so that it wouldn't be in the way and the wood entry door opens in and out of the way. I hope I could at least provide viewers with at least some pointers and tips on building any kind of ramp and thank you all for the comments and watching.

A private ramp does not have to meet the 1/12 ratio. It can be as steep as 1/6.

Good point James. The storm door did in fact swing out and the wrong direction so I had to remove that. The wood door swings in and was in the perfect direction so it all worked out. If they do want to add a storm door we can just put on a new one that swings the right way, not a big deal

Nice video. Thanks. Just thought that the ramp should have been off the other side of the stairs and done at a 90 degree from a platform/landing. A landing 1/2 or 1/3 of the way up might be beneficial for someone who has difficulty walking a distance. Could have extended it out to keep a walkable pitch. Also, the storm door could have remained. Granted the chosen location is closer to the garage if the current owner still drives. Future owner wont be able to utilize the second garage stall.

Have to think though....it could never be a One Person ramp. Deliveries, guests, kids running. Many of us have had the experience of 'black ice'. Ohhhh, I thought it was wet rain....but no....went flying. We need a national junkyard. There's so much good stuff getting tossed. Malls and banks change decor constantly...all that good stuff could be used for assistive design. I shop Vevor for their high quality. Just got a rubber threshold riser. It has to off-gas in the sun a few days, but it's just the thing for size and weight.

Nice ramp but it looks way too steep. An ADA ramp is for every inch you rise you need 1 foot out. This would mean that you really needed to go down and turn with a level landing. The ramp needs to be a minim of 36 inches wide and if I was you I would of built the ramp all the way out to the original railing. It looks like you sort of blocked off that big pad of driveway on the other side of the ramp plus if a vehicle was to want to park in that garage that makes that more difficult without someone not hitting the end of the ramp. Since that front porch had two sets of steps I would of built the ramp off the other set of steps and wrapped the ramp around the front of the porch and but some flowers or a water feature between the original porch and the ramp leading to the edge of the driveway. On the porch level it looked like a drop off between the new platform and the original railing. If a wheelchair ever needed to get in the front door and it turned the caster wheels have a good chance to go off between the railing and the platform. That extra space is so important especially when making that turn.

Like I mentioned to someone else the cost depends on how long it needs to be. If it needs to go down and back because of the height drop. I believe the parts cost on mine was around $500. It took my dad and I the day and two hours in the morning to finish up.

Are those joists 2 x 6"s or 2x8?
