I think I'm going to make things easy for myself and just have Home Depot cut the 2x10s to length for me. I'll store these indoors so I'll probably end up going with regular pine. Since each step is only 1.5 inches in height, I'm not going to bother to angle the edges of each "step" since I don't think any car is going to have trouble going over a 1.5 inch ledge.
So really all I'd need to do is drill some pilot holes and screw the cut pieces together.
Finished weight of each ramp should be approximately 24 lbs per ramp if I build 3 steps (18-28-38 inch, 4.5-inch lift), or 33 lbs if I build 4 steps (18-26-34-42 inch, 6 inch lift). I'll probably attach some handles for easier carrying.
Let us know how it works out for you.
