Wheelchair ramp?

Question

i want to build a wheelchair ramp at a friends house so that she can get in and out with an electric wheelchair. can anyone tell me the correct mix for the concrete

Answer 1

they sell the stuff already mixed, just add water

is it a big ramp or a little ramp, wood may be more appropriate if it is a long run

I bet you thought you could do this easily, lol, here are ADA specifications to overwhelm you

Answer 2

Lowe's or Home Depot can advice you step by step on your project! Good Luck!

Answer 3

instead of worrying about how much sand and how much portland cement why not buy bags of ready mix concrete where all you have to do is add water - should be available at your local lowes or home depot

Answer 4

Don't know about the mix, but look into ADA requirements for ramps.  They will speak to slope and protective features, among other things..

Answer 5

correct mix for a ramp would be 4 parts ballast to 1 part cement
