I bought the 12000# rhino ramps to find out they won't work for my stock GTI S.
I made these 4.5" high ramps out of a single sheet of 3/4" plywood and a couple 2x3 scraps (and fasteners, of course)
I cut 4 - 12" (x8') strips out of the sheet
For pairs of the 12" strips, layed them on top of each other to cut
2 each: 18", 28" and a remainder of 50"
the other two 12" strips:
2 each: 23",33",38" (will have 2-2" strips scrap)
I laid them down biggest to smallest screwing together as I went.
I've seen others out of 2 x 12s but I like how this has 3/4" steps rather than 1-1/2". (I tend to overthink things so I'm not sure if that matters.)
I just asked for the cheapest 3/4" sheet they had at the lumber yard, gave me this returned subfloor sheathing with a damaged tongue for $33.
But they are heavy. Making the 2x3 scrap a little long on each side was out of laziness, but worked out by making them easier to handle.
