How-To's Needed: RAMP TO ROOST UP THE SIDE!

[iwiw60]

Okay, so I have a roost bar poop tray setup in the one end of the coop...5' wide and comes out 28". Normally I'd just put up a ramp that goes up directly 'at' the roost, but constraints being what they are mine will have to go up alongside the front of the roost/poop tray.

Question: How do I attach it??!!!!!! Yikes! Been sitting outside the coop for some time and can't figure it out. HELP please!! Ideas needed!!!!

Use wire or rods to suspend it from the ceiling? Or put in a post to support it.

Can't do either. My ceiling is my roof ... it's a Lifetime Shed 5' x 8' made out of that Rubbermaid-type material so I couldn't do that. And can't put in a post to support it as there's no way to anchor it. I've been sitting out there staring at it all morning and I'm wondering if I couldn't screw-gun in a 'landing platform, say around 9" x 12" from the underside of the poop tray, then anchor the ramp to the platform (????)

You can still shoot screws through the roof that you can seal with a roofing cement like Quad.
