    going to extend the incline right out also make it so i can fix them together and be able to jack a wheel up. 4 bottle jacks on some plates should do the job

    I'm not a big fan make sure your careful with them and bolt them to the floor.

    I sold mine and got a 2 poster ramp which I'm much happier with.

    They look terrifyingly flimsy. I'm sure they are up to the job but I don't think I would fancy using them. What weight are they rated to?

    Probably look flimsy because they are quite tall. I'm guessing you wont be using them on the gravel.

    Nice, should be rock solid. It's a good purchase.

    I would be tempted to make some cross bars to tie them together, they look pretty tall for a narrow base...

    but that's probably me just being paranoid

    They look a really awkward height to work on, too high for laying and too low for crouching.

    How come you just didn't dig a pit?

    Or get a 2 poster for your garden! They are awesome!

    Under my carport there is a drain running through so to dig a pit would risk hitting it .. Still going to dig about 3ft down so I can stand whilst under the ramps.

    keep seeing the 2 post picture. Currently moving house (slowly) and am thinking of getting a 2 post lift but did not think of having it outside. how long have you had it? do you need to cover it? how do you maintain it?

    oh and op those big ramps look kinda good. i two would add some supports between and the pit is a good call. good luck
