From what Frosty said the are 5/4X6X16', thought I would cut em down to 4' each and lay em criss cross and not up and down. I am not following you somehow Cane.

Was thinking of rain to run off as fast as possible. If you cut them at 4 foot to go straight across, water won't run off, unless the center joist is higher (1/2, 3/8") than the outsides. Use screws, not nails.
But I was thinking more of all the 5/4 meeting on the center joist at a 45/60 degree angle. Lots of short boards, lots of screws.
That's the way I built the ramp for my father-in-law. Sorry no pictures.
Yeah, lots of screws for sure. Dont use a nail gun much at all but it sure is nice whne you need one.:biggrin
Get some good quality Carport or porch paint and add sand to it. Use a fairly good amount to get that no skid effect. A buddy of mine did his enclosed garage with a epoxy paint with sand and that stuff still looks new after about 5 yrs.You'll probally need to primer that plywood really well also!
