Default Re: Trailer ramps

Mark, they will be 12 inches wide, starting out as 16 inches wide with 2
inches turned down on each side. They will be attached to the piano
hinges on the back door of my trailer. The bracing will look like this
\----/ (add a few inches left and right on the top of the \ / and subtract
the little extras sticking out below the --- . The bracing will be one
piece and I don't know what thickness that will be. I am copying a
design I saw on a picture that looked strong and reasonably light.
I mention strong because the ramps belonged to a guy with a
Malibu Wagon that weighed 3600 lbs. J.R.
