Bike shed solutions/ideas?

[dickturpin]

With regard to wooden ramps, for a long lasting one I would go for at least 12mm maring ply,18 would be my ideal choice but the strengh is in the sub structure, take a look at TEX's ramp, all the weight is on the  vertical uprights beneath the ramp it self .top it off with a bit of roofing felt so its not slippy when wet......I do believe ive just done  FOCU's first risk assessment  :lol

Do you think he needs a handrail as well?....don't want him falling off!

I don't have problems with my shed so much but do have a drop of one brick on the path. Would one of these do?

Oh Dear, It says it can support weight up to 250Kg. So your onto a winner provided-
You weigh less than 45Kg or you don't stand on it at the same time as the bike!  :lol

Thinking outside the box - it had occurred to me....


Problem solved:





SWL 273kgs, and easy to get the bikes up and down without standing on it too

That looks just the job, and maybe as suggested in an earlier post, you could put a couple of bolts through it and that'll help it from moving.

Where did you get it?

Looks like a problem solver for my work, any links or prices would be great thanks

I got it at a local 'disability solutions' shop and paid more than I care to mention as I got impatient to have it sorted today  :lol

Trouble I thought there might be with that type is that if you're pushing the bike on from an angle, you'll be crossing the hinged centre, which I don't think is designed to support the weight, as it's for four-wheel mobility scooters whose wheels will sit either side on the actual ramp sections?

So......how much did you pay ?  :lol

[nick crisp]

Enough to suggest I might be disabled in other ways  :lol

Why not extend the slabs then add something like a coping stone (you know the ones placed on tops of walls) to act as a ramp

My shed floor level is about 150mm  off the level of the road, I have a scaffold board about a metre long that I place on a couple of bricks to run the bike in/out, then remove the board into shed once done, I will try and get some pics in daylight.
