Making a Collapsible Dog Ramp for a Houseboat
Intro: Making a Collapsible Dog Ramp for a Houseboat
I did this at TechShop Menlo Park. http://www.techshop.com
I have a 18 year old dog who has trouble with stairs so I needed to build her a ramp to get in and out of my new house boat.

STEP 1: Cutting Wood
We started with one bog long piece of wood and cut it into 3 pieces to make a collapsible ramp.
STEP 2: Hinges
Srewing in hinges on either side so the pieces would fold.
STEP 3: Latches
Installing latches so that the board would stay flat for the dog to walk on.
STEP 4: Doggy Ramp Is Ready
I will staple some carpeting on it so that she has better grip to walk on. This will make my baby's life a little less painful.

How heavy of a dog will this support?
