Ramp material

I am about to build ramps for my gooseneck. Trailer sits about 36" off the ground. Was thinking a 5 or 6' long ramp so the breakover isn't too terrible for the possibility of loading cars. I have a bunch of 3 3/8 OD well casing pipe laying around. Any cons that anyone can see to using that then connect them a foot apart with angle or would it be best to use angle or channel like most ramps are built? Thanks

 

If you are not going to be hauling backhoes or tractors or any thing heavy 2 3/8 would be fine. but if you are hauling big loads I would stick with channel and angle iron. but thats just my opinion

 

Yeah just hauling 5-6k pound 4Xs mostly.

 

the angle iron gives sharp edges for tires to bite.
your round tube will be a slipery son of a bitch in the rain for fwd only broken 4x4's and cars....

 

the cross sectons would still be angle, just the main up and downers

 

don't see why it wouldn't work... I'd go ahead and put expanded on there as well to smooth 'em out while I was doing it...

my little car doesn't like gettin it's lil rubber on 13" wheels down in between the angle too much.
