You know you could always buy corrugated steel plate of the same thickness & size which will be a lot cheaper (had my aluminum plates already so it didn't cost me nothing).The only draw back will be more weigth & more PITA to drill the holes but they will do the same job.Best place to buy the steel plates will be from a fab shop since when it come to cutting they usually have a shear which does a lot cleaner job then the torches.

Yes nice if you don't have 6/7 ft of snow & minus 20*f weather to tackle with four months a year, that ramp of yours will get buried under the snow in no time at all.A couple pics,lanscape is a litte different in the winter time up here then your part of the wood.

it looks like it'll be awkward to work under it, it doesn't look like you can stand and if you lay down it looks like you've got to reach quite high

Yes snow would be a problem

Depending on what you were doing most things were able to be done very comfortably in a sitting position. It's history now anyway as I sold them a long time ago but they were cheap to have made and worked very well . If you have the space this is infinitely better than working on jackstands. I eventually dug a two foot deep pit under the gearbox area so I could use a gearbox jack.

Of course I'd rather have a lift.
