FAQs

  • How to build a base for the ramp and what material should I use?

    As an extra we offer a Levelling Kit shipped with our ramps. This kits come with detailed instructions on how to build your base. It includes 13 pieces of 12 inch x 12 inch patio stones and a bag of gravel. We recommend that you put gravel under patios stone so water can drain out from beneath (also helps with the levelling process).

    Before you order a Levelling Kit, determine how out of level your space is. Most backyards have a slope of about 1% meaning over 20ft your backyard will slope 3 inches.

    You might need to stack multiple patio stones to get the required height.
