Making it by hand with untreated lumber is a waste of time if you expect it last more than two winters, based on my experience.
Any outside project needs to be made using treated lumber. Using 2x4’s I built a ramp that rested on the top step and 3 2x4’s ( with a center one also) then 3/4” outdoor plywood for the ramp top, sloped 1”x12” ( like stated by Cheryl above). Add sand mixed into the paint to prevent slippery surface accidents.
