Which ramps in particular? Things like the Cheval and Ramparts, the ramps that lead up to the Defenses in general, or the ramp that is the Batter (the front of the tower)? I suggest building whichever one you have fear about, "splurging" on a bit of correct material to cover them with, and get testing ASAP.
