Another thing to note about the ramp: The mesh is supported with 2x6(?) supports about 12" apart, arranged with the planks going up the ramp.

Under a load of about 200 pounds with a contact area of about one size 9 shoe (in other words, under my weight, while standing on one leg), the mesh sank in about 1/2"-3/4". Bouncing on the mesh, I probably moved as much as 2" up and down without my foot leaving the mesh.

I doubt that will be really significant, but something to keep in mind, in case anyone had features that extend low to the ground.
