So when my wife and I moved into our new house last fall, the property came with this really nice shed (FULL of junk) with a lot of space, but no way to get anything in or out other than carrying by hand.



I decided to (over)build a nice solid ramp so I could use it to put my cubs indoors. the shed itself has 2x12s every foot underneath and a thick plywood floor, so it's very sturdy and gave me the idea for my ramp structure. the doorway is 60 inches wide exactly, so I bought 6 2x8x8's and cut them to be an 11.5 degree slope. I then mounted them to the shed with metal brackets and a vertical 2x4 brace, as well as using the big triangle sections I trimmed from the 2x8's. Next was laying 2x6 planking.






they're not perfectly aligned, but close enough! I don't own a square yet.


all finished! I was short one 2x6, but had a scrap 2x8 from another project that was long enough. on the right is a small extension of the shed I converted to a chicken coop.



structural test! I built it intending for it to hold at least a ton, and i think it will! I jumped up and down on it with the tractor parked on it, and it didn't even budge!


plenty of room for the 72 and 125 to co-habitate.


and room for more! it might take some jockeying, but I think I can make room for a future cub lo-boy to fit too...


I'm sure happy with the results, it's nice to finally have them indoors!
