Building my mum a ramp, need advice on material.

Hey Brainstrust, Mum's getting old and needs a ramp to get up a step in her backyard. I've got the angle / ratios and structural design sorted but I'm looking for advice on materials. It's going to be outside (Australia) so it will be subject to rain and hot sun, and I'd like it to last at least a few years. I'll carpet with a commercial grade outdoor synthetic carpet so surface friction is not a consideration. Thanks in advance. submitted by /u/MoFauxTofu [link] [comments]
