Project Overview
Client Brief
The homeowners needed a ramp installed alongside their deck to improve accessibility for family members with mobility challenges. They wanted a ramp that would not only be practical but also blend in harmoniously with the existing deck structure. The goal was to create a smooth transition from the deck to the garden area without disrupting the flow of the outdoor space.
Challenges
One of the key challenges was to ensure that the ramp met all accessibility standards while also maintaining a consistent aesthetic with the existing deck. Additionally, the ground around the deck was uneven, requiring careful adjustments during construction to ensure the ramp would be level and safe to use.

The Build Process
The Build Process
Planning and Design
Before construction began, we worked closely with the clients to finalise the design of the ramp. It was crucial to integrate the ramp into the existing deck structure without making it appear as an afterthought. We chose materials that matched the original decking, ensuring consistency in both color and texture. The design phase also involved calculating the correct slope for the ramp to ensure it complied with accessibility regulations while remaining easy to use.
Construction Begins
The first phase of construction involved preparing the foundation. We levelled the ground and installed sturdy supports to ensure the ramp would be stable over time. As construction progressed, we took special care to align the ramp with the deck, making sure there were no gaps or uneven surfaces that could pose a safety hazard.
