TRANSITION FROM RAMP TO GROUND

Option A:
Working over dirt, remove enough dirt to allow modules #5 and #6 to maintain the proper slope for a smooth transition to ground level. A 42"-long 2x6 is laid underneath the end of Module #6, and another under the junction of Modules #5 and #6. The lower two sets of 4x4's are set into the ground to a depth of 24".

The newly cut end of any piece of treated lumber that will be in ground contact should be protected with a fence post preservative type of product. Uncut ends do not need extra protection. Consult with the lumberyard where you purchased the lumber for advice on specific products.
