One of our neighbors has an elderly dog who has trouble climbing up and down their back steps leading to the yard . She asked me to design a special ramp for him, and I just installed it today.
Measuring approximately 3' X 5', I constructed this out of plywood and used 2 X 4's on the base. I encased the top layer of wood with indoor/outdoor carpeting to give the old boy some traction, and I added horizontal strips of wood to help him on the incline.
If your dog has a hard time walking, is recovering from any kind of leg surgery or has hip dysplasia, this is extremely helpful. I can do custom orders.
