Tie the rope to the rear of the car so when you drive off,the ramps will follow. Saves walking too far carrying them back to the garage
I rather think that Stanley Sir! has other uses for the 'spare' bits of rope he possesses.Tip of the week......
You need 2 lengths of rope...tie one end to the ramp & lay the rope out the full length of the motor and drive
over the rope, the weight of the motor on the rope stops it sliding away.![]()
Make yerself some HippoRamps (TM)My 50 year old ramps are too steep for modern cars. Cars had more clearance at the front end back then, unlike moderns which have noses that almost touch the ground. Not found anything with a search, that will suit my needs. Like you I think a home spun "plank" method will have to continue to suffice.
Aloe Vera for you then.Morning All.
A bit of crash-bang-wallop from the skies at midnight, cool & damp now.
No plans ATM for today. I really did get burnt on the cycle ride yesterday.
Down a bit more on the diet, so I shall keep going.
Have a good day!![]()

HippoRamps - How To Guide
Updated 29 July 2015. This write up shows the design and measurements used to make my HippoRamps. The original ramp section was shorter.

Still doesn't account for why they sell the stuff with no batt or charger for the same money as other companies sell the whole kit. But yes, I too have stuff where one charger and batts powers more'n one thing.Fing is today everybody has elecy powered stuff so may already have batteries for that brand, which is why they now do them with/without batteries and chargers.
