ADA Guidelines
While modular ramp systems installed at a private residence aren’t required to meet ADA specifications, it is important to follow the instruction manual and all guidelines to ensure a safe and useable wheelchair ramp.
- Every 1” of vertical rise requires 1’ of ramp length
- Handrails are required on ramps with a rise of 6” or more
- Ramps should be a minimum of 36” wide
- A level landing is necessary at the accessible door
- Landings subject to wet conditions shall be designed to prevent the accumulation of water
For detailed descriptions and additional ADA guidelines for building a modular ramp system, read our article on ADA building codes for wheelchair ramps.
Measuring for a Modular Ramp
To help you determine the modular ramp system that will best suit your specific needs, you will need to measure the amount of space you have available, as well as the height of the rise you are trying to overcome.
Our article on finding the proper length for your wheelchair ramp will make it easy to calculate exactly how much ramp you will need. To map out your system and calculate the approximate cost before ordering, you can use our site evaluation worksheet.
