You can have a permanent ramp installed on your porch steps, small staircases, or thresholds. Another option is a portable ramp, which allows for more flexibility. You won’t have to worry about installation. Simply place the ramp down when you need it and pick it up and store it away when it’s not in use. This is also beneficial because you can use it all throughout the home.
