RAMPS...spiral, flat, stairs PICS Please!

We've done a lot of brush clearing here. We literally screwed together pieces of young saplings to make a ladder.

Mine is a standard flat board too, but due to the layout of the coop/run the ramp needed to run along the length of the coop (and in front of the clean-out door), so I made a couple modifications. I added a landing platform for the pop door and attached the ramp underneath with eye screws and hooks to take the ramp off when needed. This picture shows the coop in progress before the chicks moved in, so everything looks clean! Definitely don't get too excited on how pretty things are with chickens around :th

Pictures?
Sounds very helpful for your setup!
Thank you...would LUV to see pics!
About a year ago. Lots of straw to cover all the snow that had fallen and drifted. On the left is the nest boxes- we built 3 on top and 2 larger ones on the bottom. The bottom ones are floor level in the coop. There are double doors for us to access the eggs easily. On the other side of the nest box is the human door, which also has a pop door for the chickens. The stairs are on the left - you see there are only a few steps.

I have the blue stairs from the pop door; an old wood ladder I painted blue to match, which goes to a day perch in the run; and the ladders up to the roost which were spacer bars from old hammocks the mice destroyed with scrap rungs.
Now let me see if I can find pictures.

It would be good to see your setup. We built an elevated, walk in coop. We put in a deck, with 3 steps on the far side. This way we can push a wheelbarrow right up to the deck next to the coop door for ease of clean out bc the stairs are not in the way. We only put a railing on the other side of the deck, so the side we push the wheelbarrow up to does not have any obstructions.
