DIY Grooved-Edge Ramp

Make a sturdy wood ramp for your dog! Determine the size needed for the ramp. Cut out the shape of the side panels, then cut out grooves along the top and side edges of both panels. Ensure the grooves on the ramp area of the side panels are deeper than the grooves for the top and back areas. Cut the ramp, top, and back panels with grooves that are opposite of the grooves in the side panels. Attach wood slats across the ramp panel to fit in the extra space available in the grooves so that they create steps along the ramp for your dog to use for traction. Assemble the ramp by fitting the grooves of each piece together. Paint or decorate the ramp, and ensure your dog can use it with ease.
