I'd need specs to be able to accurately answer this.

You couldn't make it up there

Hook the wheelchair up to the chain and pulley system up top

Won’t get up there unless it’s a kid pushed by a strong adult. I had to push an adult in a wheelchair across an acre of grass and that was tough going!

I've made it through some pretty tight areas. A few were dares back in the day.. I could have been seriously injured thinking back, but from end to end it is 1.5' between tires and the arms on chair stick out a quarter of an inch from the tires.
I can come up on something and know right away if i can make it or not. I drive "small".. Meaning I can keep it straight. As much as I go, I have a lot of practice and it is pretty much second nature. If that ramp is a little bit wider than it looks in the picture I could make it up.

I'm going to include this thread as my required 1 hour of ADA continuing education. Can someone sign my certificate?

Send it to me.

wife used a steep ramp like the picture in Valdez Alaska . 15-20 foot tidal difference. winch attached at top with a cable worked pretty good.
ada at 1 inch per foot is way extravagant for length and frequently prohibits installation. 1 foot rise per 5 foot travel is adequate in most non ada applications

HSW (Health, Safety, Welfare)? I could use the hour.
The HC sign might be a joke unless it’s not. I’ve seen someone go down stairs in a wheelchair. John “Fat Rat” Russell who broke his back at the State Capitol Raceway (West Baton Rouge) attempting to jump 23 cars on an Ossa 250 (I think.) back in 1972. He attended Southeastern in Hammond and got around most obstacles.
The structure might be used as a hose drying rack/platform for a firehouse. Or it could be covered with some polyethylene and used for a Slip N Slide.

When I buy a house It’s going to have to be ADA non-compliant

I can’t imagine you being more physically or mentally injured than you already are.

Did you eat paint chips as a kid? Not a difficult concept

Sorry you're not paralyzed... a-hole.
ETA: not implying I'm paralyzed, but I interact with a significant amount of paraplegics on a regular basis. They've got enough shite to deal with besides strategizing how they ascend 5 feet. Build your damn ramp correctly and quit bitching about it.
