We had a redwood ramp leading to our front door. It widens out at the door so its almost like a small deck. I think Sandy has a ramp that opens into a deck...not sure. We have a portable one for when we go to see his folks. They just made it out of plywood and removable so they can put it away after we go home. We also have a set of portable ones the kinda telescope out to fit up over at least three steps. We keep this one at our best friends home so we can just put it up and roll on in.
I just google everything...you never know what you might find. Also when we built the ramp we did look into what supplies needed to be used to bring it to code. Not building code but to be able to handle the weight of his scooter and him. A place here in Utah called Options for Independent Living helped us to work out the design.
Good luck...you have been given some pretty good advice...
