How do I build a ramp with bricks and crushed rock???

[Bacco]

You need sand or dirt too

 

[spamking]

The red rectangles are bricks

Will they be "anchored" to the ground with rebar or something?

No I was just going to put them there

Ramp is like I said very slight slope maybe from tip of your finger to bottom of palm or 4/5th of a stair

If you're not building it up very high and won't need to worry about it washing out or anything it should be okay . . . but if you're building it up to over a foot or so I'd probably use bigger cinder blocks and backfill everything . . .

My first ramp to the shed was made out of wooden 2x4s and it rotted out and the next ramp to the shed was a piece of plywood which is coming apart bad.

I have bricks in the garage a pile of miscellaneous crushed rock behind the garage. I was talking to my Father in law about how I need a new ramp and he told me to use the bricks and crushed rock

He tried to explain it to me and I didn't get it and he explained it again, some specific way to make a wall with bricks and fill it in with rock? I think he has a specific vision I don't understand. How will this keep or work logistically?

And then he came by and asked why I haven't done it yet but I really don't get what to do.

Can someone help me plan this?

If you live in Kelowna I can make it for you in an hour or two. It’s kinda like my job and stuff.

I am kind of old-school so this may seem a little outdated or may some extra steps that are rendered useless due to modern technologies.

So the first and most important step is to either create or be a member of a religion that designates you as the son of the god or a living god yourself. Second you need to spice up your ramp idea say it is a pillar to god and when it is constructed the gods or you will reward the plebs with an abundance of rains, bountiful harvests etc.. Thirdly you will need probably 1500-1600 Forced non union workers serving under the penalty of death ( recruiting these workers can be a chore but if you get people who are under you socially you can say the workers are from a different religion and thus offending your god/ your godliness so enslavement of them is not only justified but glorified). Afterwords you relax and watch the plebs toil for you while you snag two tickets on the ramp train destination i don't know but it probably includes two women at the same time.

I just need a slight ramp to get my lawnmower and snowblower out of my shed easily

once again imagination my Sherbro.
a temple for the masters of snows and harvests.

You must have a Temple of Free Masonry close by. See if they will build it for you.

Cut a narrow trench in the ground to stand the bricks on end for retaining walls and fill the space between with rock. If you have enough bricks, you can make a sloped ramp with the gravel and surface it with bricks laid flat.

Just get a wheelbarrow with a bigger tire. To heck with the ramp. Leave your ride-on lawn mower under a tarp outside. Voila youll be asking yourself why you needed a ramp to begin with in no time.

Build a wooden form work that surrounds the ramp you wish to build, then pour in rubble and add concrete. Do in stages to create slope, use a pretty dry mix to allow for the slope. Couple of pours if it's a slight slope .

Also consider foundations a bit.
