TL;DR
A shed ramp is an inclined platform, framed from treated lumber or molded from steel or resin, that bridges the height between grade and a shed's floor so mowers, wheelbarrows, and bikes can roll in. Site-built versions hang from a ledger lagged to the floor framing and use cleats or grit tape for traction, since wet plywood on a slope is a slip hazard.
What it means
A shed ramp is an inclined platform, framed from treated lumber or molded from steel or resin, that bridges the height between grade and a shed's floor so mowers, wheelbarrows, and bikes can roll in. Site-built versions hang from a ledger lagged to the floor framing and use cleats or grit tape for traction, since wet plywood on a slope is a slip hazard. Strength matters more than looks: a riding mower concentrates several hundred pounds on two small contact patches.
