These ramps are pretty easy to build, and will last a long time. I wanted something sturdy and provide enough extra clearance that I can easily get under the vehicle.
Here is a link for the cuts you need to make these.
The 2×10 wood cost me around $50. They are 8′ long each. Acquired at local hardware store

Thank you, great video👍
These work great for leveling out a travel trailer/camper as well.
I always worried about ramps caving in, this is as safe as you can get. I always preferred solid wood for stands and ramps. Good video, good idea, safety first!
I like how they store neatly with no wasted space
Can i suggest some anti slip tape added? Might help if tire are wet. Stick it on and also staple it. Also 2 cheap HF casters on the thick end just resting on the floor a hand hole or strap on the other end to pick it up. Pick the small end up and the casters will then level onto the floor to roll around. Nice job and better than most plastic or metal ones that can be bought.
I think I'll do it myself this week. I just got instructions from Woodglut and I'm ready for it: D
Made these using 2×10's and they weight 82.5 lbs each!
You have, quote: "5 pieces of 2×10 for each ramp, giving a height of 7.5 inches". That doesn't quite add up. 🙂 However, I was scouting around to find an optimal height for these things. 10" is plenty, I'd say. Another video suggests 6" – but that's bordering on useless, I'd say.
Add wheels if too heavy
