The Accessible Ramps are easy to design for different home styles and landscaping needs. The construction techniques will yield an attractive accessory to almost any home.
	Community groups may construct the ramp modules as a year-round project, then select and transport just the modules required for a specific design.
When the deck modules and rails are previously constructed, we can reduce the time at a home to just a few hours. An entire ramp can be assembled on a Saturday morning! (This quick assembly also makes it easier to find a volunteer crew.)
	When supervised by a professional (or experienced individual) almost any group of volunteers can install these ramps.
This partly completed frame shows how the ramp will be supported by posts on treated wood pads. Since the posts are not supported by concrete frost footings, the ramp can be removed from a site just as easily as it was installed. (This shot is from the PBS series Hometime - the Accessibility program, October 23, 1993. The 30-minute video #4056 is available for purchase from Hometime.).

The Ramp Project Teleconference video may be purchased from the Metropolitan Center for Independent Living in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
