wheelchair ramp in garage
I'm going to build a wooden wheelchair ramp in a garage from a center door opening on the side with a reverse direction.
my question is the best way to secure the posts so as to not damage the floor to much when it has to be removed.
I was thinking of nailing the posts to a 12x12 piece of 3/4 plywood at the bottom and then 1 or 2 ramset nail in the concrete floor.
any suggestions? I have built several ramps but never one in this location.

You may want to screw the post to the plywood and use Tapcons to attach it to the floor. At least with the Tapcons you may be able to remove them without too much damage.
