What a gorgeous ramp and step combo! Your design and craftsmanship and materials chosen really added a lot to the architecture of the house. The function is solid but the design for that location and your fine work raised it to another level. And the entire video and your thorough answers to commenters questions has so much useful information. Thank you so very much!

Things have certainly taken an incredible turn for the worse since this build. Believe it or not, Ipe used to be flashy, but in my area cedar has come to be twice as much as Ipe this summer. Pressure treated lumber, well, you might as well frame the thing with teak. Ridiculous season we’re in. It’ll pass

Hi Cynthia, the planks are a hardwood called Ipe. Very heavy but durable wood that will likely outlast the structure itself.

I just built a ramp at my parents and I couldn’t find variable joist. Did I see that you just cut the wood to fit? I bought open ended ones.

In this scenario yeah, I just shave the bottom corner at level to land solid on the hanger. At the 1:12 pitch of the ramp it amounts to about 1/4” removed, which is totally fine in my world/mind

I’m in Portland, OR. That was a pretty rare snow there. Our footings here need to be 24” deep with at least 20” of that below grade. We don’t have a frost line here fortunately. Typically 1-2 days a year with a high below freezing. Thanks for the comment!

Do you need any type of flashing for where the decking meets the siding? I need to build a ramp also.
@PerkBuilders
5 ай бұрын
Good question! Typically, yes. Anywhere you’re actually attaching to the house, you’ll want to trim the siding all the way back to the sheathing of the house and flash over your ledger board. I have Z flashing up where the front door landing is, but on that downward slope against the house, those are spanning landing to landing, so that joist is not attached to the house. I hovered it 2” off the face of the siding and pushed the decking close, but about 1/2” off the surface of siding so everything can drain
