Bug too low to get on drive - need ramp suggestions!
vorsprungdurchtechnique - January 23rd, 2012 at 09:43 PM

Hi

Just moved into a new house and the drive is too high to get my low bug on, I need a long-ish gradual ramp to drive up. I'm thinking ramps like you would find on a back of a trailor - but I dont want to spend loads of money. Anyone got any bright ideas where I might find something like this?!

And no, raising the bug is not an option! Heavy rains are coming and I gotta get the bug inside.

Thanks!

Post a couple of pics of your drive to give us an idea of what needs to be done.

Do you want it to be temporary or permanent? If it's only temporary, then a few bits of wood will do the job. For a more permanent solution, a big steel plate will work.

A local house used to have 2 metal plates about a metre long
on their driveway... between the driveway and the concrete in the carport.... it was bolted in with 4 bolts...

it looks to be only about 25mm high difference in the concrete.. maybe it was a bit more....
