DIY Dog Door Ramp

We designed, built and installed this Dog Door Ramp to use with our SureFlap Dog Door a while ago and finally got around to editing the pictures.  Since the interior of our house is higher than the exterior, we needed a cute and functional ramp to get the dogs down safely.  Of course it took some training get them used to it, but in no time they learned to run out the door and down the ramp (especially if the neighbor dog is out)!

I have been wanting to dip something for a while, and I thought, why not dip the ramp and legs?!  I LOVE how it turned out!  It kind of has a beach house feeling to it, perhaps we should hang a couple mini surf boards over it for decor.  Just for reference have two small dogs that weigh 9lbs and 12lbs.  We designed the slanted railing since they would just jump off the top of the ramp after getting out, and it fixed the problem.  We stopped the railing short of the end so it would show off the dipped blue end.

We love it and Scout and Zoe give two paws up!!!
