Make Your Own Dog Ramps (Steps)
|
| Dog Ramp from Styrofoam |
I have two large dogs weighing 88lbs each. It was difficult for me to put them in my SUV. I searched for inexpensive ramps but, was not willing to pay the price. A search on google for "inexpensive dog ramps" turned up a site that gave my directions for making my own dog steps. They are made from cutting a sheet of styrofoam insulation into rectangular pieces, bigger pieces for the bottom and smaller pieces for the top step. These are glued and taped together until they are the height you need. I covered the sides of mine with "wood" contact paper and the top with astroturf. I put a cabinet door handle on the end to make it easier to pick up. This is so lightweight but strong enough for my dogs to climb up on. They just walk right up into the truck. Didn't even have to train them! Love it!!
