I use wide foam ramps, that are scalloped for traction going up and down. As they have gotten older, I have added "sides"....I had purchased garden items that came in LARGE cardboard boxes.......one of the boxes was almost the exact width of the stair ramp I use for my dogs. I cut one end out of the box, slid the box up to my bed, slid the foam scalloped ramp inside the box and with the end up to the bed.....sides were formed against the side of the scalloped wedge by the sides of the box.....with the sides of the cardboard box forming the enclosed sides next to the stair-wedge.....clear as mud, I am sure.....but it was a great solution for my stair wedge.....I did trim the sides of the box on an angle that matched the angle of the ramp, about 18 inches higher than the ramp....this made sides to keep them "on track" going up and down the scalloped ramp and not jumping/falling off the sides. |
