cost of building a ramp

[hardcoreclown33]

I can get all the steel i need to build a ramp for like 400 bucks so i dont know if im missing something or not but how do you come up with a figure of like $1000 to build a ramp urself i could see if you had some1 else building it then you would have to pay for there labor. am i missing something here or what

Well once you add the steel and welding supplies you will come up to about 800-1200 bucks, depending on how big to want to go. For an average 6 foot ramp you are looking to spend about 800+

that is a very gneral price. by the time you have someone bed up the rails, have your welding supplies and steel it adds up, and it adds up quickly

you can buy my six footer for $550

i had $1000 into the tubing, sheet and expanded. $400-450 was into tubing, $550-600 into sheet and expanded, i did everything myself including bending the tubing the only thing i didn't do was cut the sheet metal and expanded all to the right size i had bemidji steel do that before i picked it up, added $65 onto the cost of sheet and expanded but saved a lot of time.

the tubing isn't really the expensive part, when i found out it was just over 400 for tubing i was really happy... then i found out what the sheet and expanded cost.... and that price figure isn't even figuring in welding materials because it was a school project and we get wire/gas for free just by the metal
