Instructions

    • 1

      Cut the 2-by-4 into three foot-long sections. Orient the three pieces in the shape of the letter 'I;' place the two end pieces on their side so that they stand 4 inches tall, then lie the third piece between them so it stands only 2 inches tall.

    • 2

      Nail the end boards to the middle section using two nails per side. Hammer them down through the cross section down into the piece of wood between the two end pieces.

    • 3

      Tape the section of cardboard between the two end pieces of wood. Place it on top of the taller end piece, then wrap the duct tape around the entire board to secure the cardboard.

    • 4

      Connect a 1.5-foot section of duct tape along the center of the cardboard (equidistant from either end piece of wood), then pull the middle of the ramp down, connecting the tape to the middle section of wood.
