How it works

1. Set Your Space

Define your available floor space and ceiling height. Especially useful for indoor builds.

2. Shape the Ramp

Set your drop, transition radius, platforms, and optional extensions. Total control, no templates.

3. Select Materials

RampNerd suggests presets that match your design. Want to use your own stock? Add custom sheets, studs, or fasteners. Or skip it entirely—RampNerd always preselects valid defaults.

4. Set the Coping

Choose from proven presets or enter your exact outer diameter. Reveal is locked across the design—so your coping sits flush every time.

5. Pick Your Finish

Plain wood? Clearcoat? Paint? Get real-time visual updates and exact coverage estimates. The right products and amounts are added to your BOM automatically.

6. Get Live Cost Updates

Enter your actual material prices—per sheet, screw, or item. See total cost update live as you tweak your build. Stay on budget, no surprises.

7. Export Everything

Done? Click export. Get your CNC-ready DXF files, printable cut list, full BOM, and build manual—zero guesswork, zero mid-project runs to the store

Feature Highlight

FLEXIBLE DESIGN ENGINE

Defaults to common plywood sizes (244×122 cm / 4×8 ft), but works with any custom sheet size.

THE COPING REVEAL SOLVER

Live trigonometry ensures perfect coping reveal—flush every time. No guesswork, no sanding on site, no "good enough". It’s either 100% or not at all.

MATERIAL & PRICE LIBRARY

Maintain your own list of sheets, studs, screws, coatings—even presets. Update once, reuse forever. Accurate BOMs, local prices, no vendor lock-in.

REAL‑TIME COST CALCULATOR

Estimates update as you tweak. Every screw, every sheet, every coat—priced in real time. No surprises at the end.
