Dog ramp ideas

[laker1]

Greetings all dog lovers,

 

It looks like Lake of the Woods will be low this year and our dock will be high. So our Lab is going to have difficulty getting in and out of boats. Does anyone have any ideas? Have you built something like a gang plank? 
if so could you post a picture. I don’t want to lose my fishing buddy.

Thanks

I have the EZ Docks at my camp on Sandy Pond.  Prices are crazy.  They wanted over $2k for a 10 ft plastic ramp.  I decided to do something myself.  Bought alum planks for scaffolding.  19 in wide x 7 ft long for $106 each.  I have 2 side x side fo 38 in width.  They have hooks on both ends for hanging between scaffolding pipe.  Load rating is over 1000 lbs per section. They are knurled on the surface for anti-slip. Made my own pivot mounts.   Out fishing now and will send pics and info later.

Just set up first set with my homemade brackets.  Looks like a good setup.
