Building a garage ramp...
Lips
Posts: 78 Forumite
Hi folks,
Him Indoors recently built a garage in our garden, but, due to the seemingly endless list of other tasks needing done about the place, I was thinking that I'd cough up for a general builder to come in and build the front ramp. Before I announce this magnanimous gesture
, I'd like to get a ball-park idea of what I could be committing to.
You can see a picture of the garage here http://img576.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=dsc01705o.jpg
You can see that the height difference is about 200mm at highest. In order to graduate the slope, I'd reckon the ramp would need to come out about 2.5 metres. I'm not looking for anything fancy, just a basic concrete ramp which will be coming down into a gravel drive.
Anyone have any ideas of ball-park?
Cheers, in advance...
