Best pic I could find of it. Think it was called WPC Garden Decking Board. Hope this helps a little.

That looks good.

Thanks guys, some real good ideas. Will post some pics next week as it progresses.

You could shingle the ramp and that would give you great traction. I figure you will be helping the gentleman up the ramp and the shingles would give you and him both great traction. Just nail them down good where they will not roll up. Regular plywood is a NO if its raining.

Yeah, I want it as safe as it can be and as maintinence free as possible.

I like the looks of this stuff. Gonna take a look at it.

Hay you got all sorts of ideas now get to work.lol

If you use the WPC run it long ways. When it rains, it will travel down the groves. Less likely to build up and freeze. Good drain rock under the ramp at the bottom of the slope.

that a good ideas as well but would add alot of work to the project. Gonna brace it with 2X8s one on either side and one down the middle on about a 20 inch center.
