I used wood for a long time. Lately I've been using a set of 
frankenramps. They are a set of CHEAP aluminum ramps (might even be from 
HF, don't remember) They are VERY flimsy. So I took a nice clean 2X6 and 
ripped the edges just enough that it would slide completely into the 
ramp and extend it a couple feet as well. Added a few screws to marry 
them together and they work real well. The wood reinforces the aluminum 
and it in turn keeps the wood from deflecting.
