Im guessin around 500+ for metal at least, i havent totaled it up yet. Also we are gonna need a shatloada plywood. At least 3-400 $ worth. I will discuss it with the friends, maybe it could be up for sale?!!?

finally somebody on here builds a nice ramp again!! been seein too many crappy ones latley. nice work!

thats very nice work... however its in entirely too uniform. all your pieces line up with eachother and theres no corner or X bracing. i bet i could grab that and flex it from side to side with my bare hands,. i would remove those two horizontal pieces in the back and put an X in there.. wouldnt hurt to put one in the front either.

also, to save weight.. you could eliminate most if not all of those cross suports on the bottom rails... those really arent needed at all. maybe keep one in the middle or something if ya want for added strength if your paranoid. why lug around all that extra weight if ya dont have to right ?
and 3-400 hundred for plywood ?? man .. im anti ply wood to begin with and if it costs you that much SCREW THE PLYWOOD.. sheet metal is a thousand times better. not only does it add strength to the structure of the ramp but it looks better and lasts longer and ALOT less hassle. because then you put epanded on it and you get superior traction and you never have to touch any of it again.
also back to the X bracing.. im building a landing ramp now.. the thing weights several tons and before i put X bracing in it i could grab it and flex it and shake it and i could stand back and watch it vibrate for about a minute.. i put angles and X"s in it and it stopped it like a rock. an X makes triangles and triangles are the strongest shape there is.. corners are good but they only make 2 triangles, X's make 4 all pushing on eachother... but either one works.. you look at any structure, houses, buildings, towers.. they all have X's , cuz X"s kick *** .
that 6 ft wide rev 3 i just built was FULLY welded with 14 and 11 awg steel and i could flex it with my bare hands, i put one angled piece in it and it stopped it dead... then i added 8 more pieces to make it bulletproof. that thing will last forever. ( as long as they keep it painted well )
need any help dont hesitate to ask me, im glad to help at any time

what are you the hulk?
lol j/k with ya, a cross or two wouldn't be a bad idea, but we were jumpin on it and it wasn't movin at all so i dont think you could move it with your hands
whats this expanded stuff for the sheet metal? is it like a grippy compound or somethin?
