Learned to use the ramp today...

The girls are enjoying being able to go in and out of the coop now!

Not so sure about that first step!

Hehehehe! That first step photo is a hoot!
"Whoa....that's a long way down!"

How long is your ramp, if I may ask? And I like the fact that you used actual limbs for the steps.

It is 4 feet long and 2 ft off of the ground. I used a leftover piece of decking from when we built our deck last summer, and some green limbs from our woods spaced 3-4 inches apart. I made a 40 degree cut along the edge and toe-nailed into the 2x4 frame through the plywood. I'm all about reusing things and free things from my woods

I love the pictures !!!!!!
The one that stands there and doesn't want to make the first step is my favorite

I might have to copy your ramp, our coop will also be 2 feet off the ground....... love the natural limbs.

Perfect. My door is also two feet off the ground, and I was trying to figure out the right angle/length for my own gangplank! Thanks for the info. I might go with the natural limbs if I run out of scraps.
