Without a shed ramp, moving anything remotely heavy will prove to be extremely difficult. Constructing a shed ramp is very simple, and therefore it is definitely worth the time and effort. Plus, it will save you several hundred dollars to make your own, rather than hiring a carpenter.
Generally you will need a shed ramp because you want to ensure that the floor level of the interior of your shed is at least 6 inches higher than the ground around your shed to prevent rising damp and ensure your equipment is kept free from moisture.
The slope of your shed ramp is important to consider because after a while you may find that it can get slippery with the algae from trees, moss etc. causing the surface to become very smooth and indeed dangerous if you are driving a lawn tractor in and out.

When looking for log cabin house plans there are a number of key factors you need to consider at the outset-
- Make sure the log cabin you intend building fits on the land you have chosen as not all log cabins will work on all sites. For example, if you want a walk out basement then you will need to have a slope or hill on your site so that your log cabin house can be set into the land sympathetically and at minimum cost.
- Aspect is another important factor and how your log cabin faces or sits towards the sun will influence greatly your enjoyment of your home with a south facing rear aspect being the most common choice. This allows maximum enjoyment of the sun as it rises and sets during the day and evening.
