Building Ramps and Roll-Ups - Toyota Yaris Forums

You're approaching the 20 bucks ramps cost just on materials, plus the time it took to make it... I dunno. And they'll rot out in 3 years tops unless you treat them, adding to cost. I've built similar in a pinch and always had trouble with the wheels spinning dangerously because wood is too slick. I'd also like them to be a bit wider, but those should work for perfectly flat spots. Cool project but I'll stick with ramps - oh wait I just do oil changes on the ground... lol
