Ideas for a Steep Garage Entry Ramp
Asked by CuriousCactus23
Hey everyone! I'm dealing with a bit of a challenge in my garage. The height is only 2.5 inches, and getting my car in is a real struggle since the previous owners laid down tile flooring, making it really steep. I'm considering options for ramps—any suggestions? I've attached a picture for reference: https://imgur.com/a/IrsjeO3.

I also noticed that steel piece in your photo. It looks like it might be an old floor brace for hurricane resistance—common in Florida! If you're going the ramp route, maybe check out some pre-made rubber ones first; they can save you a lot of hassle and are pretty effective as well.

I see what you mean about the steepness! You could definitely create a ramp by mixing some cement, or if you want something simple, look for a rubber ramp online. They're pretty easy to find and might be just what you need to help you get in and out without damaging your car or the flooring.
GarageGuru42: Yeah, cement ramps can be sturdy, but I'd worry about getting the smooth finish too. Rubber sounds like a solid option!

TileMaster15: Good eye! That probably explains why it's so heavy-duty. A rubber ramp could definitely be the way to go for now!
