Find the length for a loading, shed or mower ramp at the slope you choose.
How it works
Rise × the slope number gives level run. The ramp surface is the hypotenuse of rise and run.
Before you order
- Gentler slopes are far safer for heavy carts and mowers.
- Use a grip surface where boots or wheels will be wet.
- Check your load and the deck capacity before crossing a ramp with a machine.
Common questions
What slope is good for a shed ramp?
About 1 in 8 is workable for hand carts, and gentler is easier with a mower.
How do I convert slope to degrees?
Take the arctangent of rise over run. A 1 in 12 slope is about 4.8 degrees.
