drdawg said:Consider a gentle ramp, perhaps as part of a pathway leading to the door. You know, something that is relatively seamless from outside to inside. In my opinion, the less abrupt change in elevation (steps) the better. I am far more conscience of safety than I ever was, and don't want to worry about being able to look down when entering or leaving my greenhouses with a load of plants in my hands. When I was 50, that was the least of my concern. At 73, it is a major concern.
This is what I built leading to my greenhouses, but I have a "flatter" elevation than you. There is a drop of approximately 18" from the concrete patio (lower, first photo) to the far end of the walkway (entrance to the greenhouse in the last photo).
