Best way to attatch ramp to drop in?

[crooks]

I just made 2 boxes yesterday and now I need to make a drop-in... it's going to be either 5 or 6 feet tall and the ramp will be 8 or 9 feet..

the frame of the ramp will be all 2x4's, but I'm wondering how I should attatch that to the drop in.. it's staying at my house so I don't need to worry about transporting it anywhere either.

i used 2 REALLY big pins and alot of screws

so obviously the ramp will have an angle at the top...so what you do is make the frame from the down ramp first then attach it to the flat part of the big start box. to do this you must angle the two or 3 supporst for the down ramp so they go flush to a 2x4 so that can be attactched to the big box. hope that makes sense

ok so i couldnt think of a way to describe it so i made a picture

and thats looking straight down on the drop in. the rectangular red thing is a 2x4 you put between the two 2x4s that make the ramp.
then you screw it in the ramp and the frame of the drop in. thats what i did anyways

i just bolt the joists of the ramp to the front two legs on the platform

i used two bolts on each side of the attachment and the the ramp can pivot from varieing slopes and it is very easy to take apart and use for urban drop in

i used hinges, and they allow you to fold the ramp over the the top of the drop in for storage

I used a hook method.
