chair users, most public and commercial facilities now have
some sort of wood, concrete or aluminum ramp in place to help
wheelchair users move from place to place with ease.

ramp for you, you should first get a plan designed to make
sure it will work and fit your needs. You can design a chair
ramp using a number of materials, from concrete, wooden, galvanized
