There is a small correction to this video. I mention Rise/Run to generate degrees (an angle). That is not true. Rise/Run yields a percentage slope; which is what the manufacturers use. Unfortunately, we think in degrees. So, 9 inches over 36 inches (rise/run) yields a 25% (not degree) slope. I have a short of 40 seconds coming soon to explain the conversion as well as how manufacturers represent ability to climb in their specs. A 25% slope is only a 14 degree climb. Hope this helps clarify.
