Porch and Ramp - Build a Workshop #20
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 12. 2016
- After jumping up and down from a bucket I am finally ready to build the front porch to the workshop. I spent $115 on this build and I am very pleased with the results! The ramp is just a little steep but other than that it is great!

I have a wheel chair ramp and this vid is exactly what I needed to do my ramp thank you so much and have a nice day!
Nice clean ramp and base. At a low cost for materials. Great job. Thank you
Very helpful, thank you. I love how your dogs already made themselves at home on the new porch.
You should use some lag bolts to hold the ledger board in place ,it's a lot stronger then deck screws
I don't know if anyone mentioned that the joist hangers have metal tabs the you banging in to hold in place instead of using the screw to hold it. I just built a deck and found that out then.
Yes someone had mentioned that! Does seem like a good design. Too bad it was a little late haha. Thank you.
The sun make the nails pop up after so long but the screws stay in place
Great job! I'm motivated to try to build my own ramp now.
When screwing a board down on a deck, its important to pay attention to the smile/frown lines on the end of the board. If it is a smile, the board will cup over time. With a frown the board won't do that.
You had me at "this probably isn't up to code, but you know me"
Story of my life
Hahaha yes .... I mean it's a tool shed...
I am about to build that exact porch with ramp. That was so helpful with all the detail! Thanks or sharing
Thanks for the video.. this give me a pretty good idea how to build one that i probably needs.. very useful.. thanks again..
Thank you for watching. This porch seems to be doing well! It was too steep and needs tread tape and a rail.
Please go back and put some lag bolts into that ledger board. Deck screws are not sufficient for that load
+C Muir what about an extra fifteen 10d nails?
Land to House that would be much better than screws but will rust over time. lag screws are fairly inexpensive and you should only need 6-8 depending on spacing. galvanised nails should be ok if you have to use nails just put extras.
+C Muir ok. Yes the screws are exterior and there are about 15 of them. The 10d nails are galvanized and there are about 15 of them as well.
I agree with the earlier sentiments, even though we are a year removed from the project. If there is room underneath, I would seriously consider at least a couple of lags.
Nice video. Was not boring and it was informative. I didn’t like how that first step on the ramp ended up but I did like how the rest of the ramp turned out.
Seth, love the videos and really want to see more from you.
"Half of everything I do is wrong" - LOL
A hint on using post hole diggers - hit the hole bottom 3-5 times before picking up the dirt, you'll get more dirt per lift and waste a little less work lifting out small bits of dirt each time.
A note for future deck & porch building: your ledger board bottom can be a bit below the bottom of the joist your are attaching it to, so that the top of your deck boards can sit about an inch below the floor/door of the building so that rain & snow melt is shed off the door and doesn't splash/puddle & run back under the door bottom.
😊thanks for sharing makes life better
Just wanted to thank you for your wonderful video, I'm looking into building a ramp for my girlfriends dog. She is like a little old lady with to much energy and now has a bad leg and struggles with stairs. I'm used to welding and carpentry is not my profession. This will more than suffice for a 75lb dog. Thanks again!
Thank you for watching. This type of ramp should be more than sufficient for a dog ramp
Lag screws or through bolts for that ledger board.
+Jim Shanks I will have to get some. It has over over 15 nails and 15 screws :)
Nice I think I'm gonna go with a style like this. This says 5 years ago how is it holding up?
Thanks for teaching how to build deck with ramp. I need one for the back of the house. Easier to get stuff in and out..
Are the joist hangars strong enough to atch the ramp stringers to the deck? Would you need a bearer/s under the ramp joists if the ramp were wider and/or longer?
To be honest with you I am not the one to ask about wider or longer ramps. This ramp is not long enough for the height. Meaning it is too steep. I have had zero issues with using the joist hangers so far. I have nails in the back of the board as well as the 4 nails in the joist hanger.
Looks solid, I'm an amateur, but I put bolts in support beams. Those 6x6 beams are awesome support. I like the idea of removing a portion of the beam for the board to rest in, I'm definitely going to try that. Enjoyed your video, learned a few pointers. I never thought to use the metal square as a guide on for the circular saw, great idea. I also hadn't thought of sheer factor for screws. Thank-you.
Thank you for watching! I am no pro myself. The build did go well and I use it almost everyday. The speed square trick is a life saver.
@@LandtoHouse it's called a 'shoulder cut' so that the joist/beam transfers its load directly to the 'shoulder' of the post without the fasteners having to carry the load.
Thanks for you vid it help me build my 1st one
It's nice to hear the video was helpful. Thanks for watching.
FYI, weather treated lumber can be off up to 1/4 of an inch in its height! Its always best to flush out the top of the wood and then work downward. such as installing your hangers
I have experienced that a few times. especially when you buy on different days.
Thx for your help. I have to have a ramp for my business and this seems cheaper than buying a ramp
Be sure to check code. The ramp will likely need to be 14" for every 1" drop.
Can u tell me please,how many inches have the woods. Thank you.
I am not a professional builder. I actually do not remember the actual cuts that I made.
Very nice and easy. Thanks need it for my dog; 🐶
That corner of the deck is making my OCD scream! LOL
Haha it's a good thing I am not OCD. My skill level is too poor for that.
I was thinking the same exact thing, I guess my kids are right, I DO HAVE OCD, LOL,LOL...
No entiendo pero puedo ver, buen trabajo gracias
Nice video. Easy to follow and uncomplicated. Cute dogs too. Reminds me of my westies.
Thank you! Yes those dogs are fun.
Do you think that ramp would hold up against a motorcycle i need to put into a shed? It weighs 500 pounds and I just need to build a ramp to put the motorcycle into a shed. If i make a ramp like that, do you think it would hold up?
nice job.
Thank you! It has held together well so far.
I need to build a ramp for my shed to bring in lawnmower, wheelbarrow and grill. No wheel chair. What will be the recommended length of ramp if the shed is at 18 inches high?. Does it need to be to code as well? I see some saying code for wheel chair is 1 feet for every inch but would be bigger than my yard and even at 6 inches per 18 inches high is 108" or 9 feet which still to long. Would a 6 feet long ramp be to steep?
Many people who comment here are worried about wheel chairs getting up the ramp. This is just my tool shed and I am not worried about the code for this one. If you went with a 72" ramp that would be a climb of 4" every foot. That is a bit steep but my ramp is almost 24" over 120". This means mine is 5" every foot. As long as you are comfortable pushing things up a ramp like mine you should be fine.
Land to House Great, thanks.
@@LandtoHouse on one of my previous tool-sheds I had a removable ramp at 30° incline to help get the push mower in there, worked great. a piece of plywood with 3 1x1 ribs screwed to the underside, and a 1x1 screwed below the door to support the top of the ramp when it was in place.
hi Seth looking good!comming along now hey. the question I had was why a ramp instead of stairs..will you put some kind of anti skit on the ramp? I can emagine it can get pretty slippery after a while?
+Martijn Fransen thank you. Funny that is actually part of tomorrow's vlog. I just purchased the anti slip stuff to install.
Hmm, makes it easy to load furniture into the home with a dolly. Great Idea for my mobile home.
And when done loading furniture, I'll put Outdoor Carpet on the ramp to assure clean shoes going in....
Thank you.
If the ramp is to be used by a wheelchair it has to be on a 12" to 1" run. The min width is 42" and you'll need a handrail. I would use 2x10 for the run under the deck and put them at 12" centers. Where your 4x4 meet the ground they will rot. Put Concrete Deck Blocks under each post.
Mark Rinard his post is in the ground ,so how would he do that
I watched the builders install the porch on our house. They used gravel in the hole for the post and sank the 6x6 in the ground. I bet that wood will rot over time but it will be a long while. The ramp had to be made short to bypass the septic cleanout. As for railing I completely agree. I would like to have that installed sometime soon.
Yes indeed! This is just a shop and that ramp is for carts. Also making it easy to walk heavy material up.
Need to through bolt your ledger to your shed joist.
Is there a reason you didn't make the end of your ramp slope more gradually?
Yes. The septic line runs right there. I did not want to cover it.
*GOOD JOB*
Thank you.
Thank you, this is so incredibly helpful!
Thank you for watching. This ramp has worked quite well over the past couple years
Hope the plywood was at least treated otherwise that will be your first rot failure location.
Bolts and or lag screws are your friend.
+Ashland Gun club Yes it sure is treated. I will likely paint it also. I should get lag bolts.
There are two small squares of plywood on the connection close to the building. There is now a nice covering on the porch so it stays dry.
whats your ramp slope?
I actually do not know what the slope is. I just built it to meet the need.
10:49 the dog is wondering why you're pointing at him 😂
Those silly dogs. They are fun to watch.
Darrell Swire: Thinking about building one?
Hi I need to build a ramp but can't figure out the sloop to 3tf high can u help me figure it out how long the run had to be.
at a seven degree incline (about standard) the length of the slope is 295 inches or 24 feet. at a ten degree incline(not wheelchair accessible) its 207 inches or 17.28 feet. good luck on your project!
The code says 1Rise: Run12 so for every Inch you go up you at least need a foot to run so in your case you have 36 inches in total of rise that means you need 36 feet in run total the best thing here if you don't have that run space do a U design or a L design hope this was helpful.
I bet some wood chips would work wonders for covering all that red clay around the house. Better than grass even, since you don't have to cut the wood chips.
+Frank Johnson that would do well. It would need re covering to keep the weeds out but that would not be to bad. I am not sure what I will do just yet.
put card board down first..it helps keep the weeds down, plus it is bio gradable. The worms will hide underneath it, eat the cardboard, which is good for your soil health over all. Also grass clippings make great mulch and nitrogen as it break down, itll amend that clay soil. Its sure helps mine. build up not down, it adds only good to your soil, moisture retention, and drainage.
Good idea. I often have lots of boxes around the shop. I will have to do that when I get to that point. I have just started putting cardboard down in the garden this year. I would like to have a weed free garden later down the line.
you could of built a free standing deck off the building. Your deck board could of filled the gap at the door way. And you would maybe a lot less notches.
Why build the workshop so high off the ground?
Short answer is I dont know what I am doing haha. The back of the building is only 1 block out of the ground and the wood is resting on that. I could have placed the wood on the ground but did not want to and that is why the building is 8" taller than it needs to be.
Germs cause colds, not the weather 😉
You work just like me....probably even better...hackmaster.
Haha yes I am good at building without skill.
how about the channel your neighbor is working on?
+Frank Goossens I have not seen him again yet. He lives 2 hours away and is in school. I will have to ask him when I see him.
This is my channel frank
Can you send me a materials list please?
I actually do not have a materials list for this build. It was just off the top of my head.
Land to House lol okay. I was jw. I was planning the same thing but with a 4x4 platform and it was about $200
That seems reasonable. This type build is not hard.
@@kokopelligaming9689 i know your comment was a year ago but i just built 4'x4' deck with ramp for wheelchair access. It was $260 all weather treated lumber
Cold to t-shirt
+Burke Mawby yes this year has been odd.
Nobodies going to talk about why he's using a PRUNING saw instead of a hand saw to make those final cuts?
Wow. Great try though!
For a dwelling probably terrible. . . For a tool shed not bad.
I know you heard that you need lags, which you really do, but also you should never run a deck perfectly flush with the door. Trust Me, I've replaced dozens of doors like this, snow and ice, also wet leaves will cause your door jam to rot out about 8"+ up. Just saying
Seems like good advice. Hopefully when I get the roof coverings it will reduce any moisture from reaching that point.
Land to House you did good though, didnt mean to criticize, just an observation. Under roof will help alot. And for wheelchair access you don't really want a drop anyway I guess. The main killer is snow, so as long as you keep the snow cleaned off right against the door you'll be fine. Lots of customers want their regular decks flush with the bottom of the door, and after years we end up replacing alot those doors because they didn't keep snow off of it. But like with anything else, it's all about personal preference. The main thing is you're happy with the outcome, someone else will always pick apart your work regardless if you kept everything to code and if everything is cosmetic and structurally sound. Never stop building, it's a great skill, one that is a dying trade as less and less youngsters enter it
If you put gravel down its not wheel chair friendly😮good job though on your own
Yes that is true. I am not sure that a wheel chair could get up that ramp anyhow. It sure is nice for taking heavy things up there though.
Me cavemen..
me no use tape measure..
me put things together and call it good enough
Nice ! Just like me haha. This ramp is working just fine many years later. I use it every day.
Your should’ve cut the plywood rather than the ledger my man
Excellent video but please just learn to make a crow's foot mark is so much easier I'm not trying to tell you what to do I'm glad someone told me when I was young
Thank you. This is a nice old video.
Great one
This guy didn't even square it up
This guy is known for that.... still working well years later.
it andI'm so sure that you can make it too guys. Just look for woodprix.
dog do not eat those nails they are not treat ok
I do not know what State or Township you are in but, we have building codes. Your ramp would not be to code. It is too steep and not wide enough as you would also have to have some kind of hand rail. I know it is to a wood shop but still it needs to be build to some kind of code.! Codes are for your safety.
+Chris 3M you are right. It would not pass code. Because the building is close to the septic tank I could not go any further out. It would probably need another 5 feet or better too meet the code. I am going to be putting a rail on and also putting some strips to help with traction.
@@LandtoHouse If/when you add hand rails to the porch and ramp, you should put blocking underneath so that the rail posts don't wobble.
This is not the right way to build either project,its a joke
Why are you doing how to videos when you don’t know anything
Why are you watching how to videos on CZcams when you know everything?
