How long should the wheel chair ramp be?

i have a plat form that sits 6 feet tall and i need to make a wheel chair ramp down to the ground... how long should the ramp be and what angle should it be at?

Do a search for "Americans with Disabilities Act, regulations" This should bring up a site with the minimum legal requirements for ramps, access widths, restroom dimensions, and much more.

Following Ucantseeme's link you want a 1" to 1' ratio. For a six foot rise you will want 72 feet of ramp.

It will depend on many issues but try this site and it will help you a lot..

it needs to be as gentle a slope as possible
what you need to bear in mind is that you will have to control the wheelchair with a person in it safely
