How to Build a Roller Boat Ramp
- 1). Lay the width steel rods in between the length steel rods. Divide eight by the length of the longer rods to get the number of feet you should space the shorter bars by. Once they are all set apart the correct distance, weld the shorter bars in place onto the longer bar.
- 2). Let the ramp sit for a few hours before moving on. This is not a necessary step, but it ensures that your ramp will be sturdier before the next step. When you are ready, drill four holes through the longer steel rod right next to where the shorter bar connects. In each instance, the holes should be in a box formation several inches apart. When you are done, weld a nut above each hole.
- 3). Take the wheels on their bases and screw the bases into these holes, using four screws per wheel. Make sure that each hole is tightened well so that you do not have to worry about them wobbling. Once the wheels are drilled in, your ramp should be ready to put next to the water and lower its first boat.
