The numbers look okay on my screen. Perhaps it is just that I have seen them before.

In any case here is the basic dim. stuff.

The squares are all 9 1/2 by 9 1/2 so I won't go into them any more.

Skipping the dim's detailing the squares, the dim's on the left side of the ramp read (from top to bottom)

34 3/4
19
3 1/4

Again skipping the dim's for the squares, the dim's along the top of the ramp read (from left to right)

9 1/4 and 29 1/4

The entire ramp is 48 by 48 in true view.

The ramp is 6 inches high (less the carpet).

The sub-floor is a 3/4 inch piece of plywood, spaced down 3/4 of an inch (by a wood '1 by 3'). The sub-floor is carpeted in the color of the ramp (red or blue, depending on the side of the field).

The edges and middle support for the ramp are made from a '2 by 6' cut into right triangles, the legs of which are 5 1/4 and 47 11/16. (Which works out to be 47.975 inches for the long side of the triangle -- ideal for mounting a 48 X 48 inch sheet of plywood to ;-)

I hope that this clears things up a bit.
