Default Ideas where to buy or how to make a "curb ramp" for a driveway?

Our neighborhood has really high curb height and I'd like to locally source a rubber ramp, reducer or a compound like this that you add to fill in the curb (made from recycled rubber/pvc) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrncUnsl624

So far, my google searches have only found ramps, etc. in the States, other than one on Amazon.ca for an astronomical price.

You can find them at Canadian Tire. A four foot length is close to $100 if memory serves me correct. Recycled rubber and quite durable.

Thanks. Any idea what it's called? Can't seem to find it on the CT website.

i waited until the paving crew was in the neighborhood......they charged me 100 bucks for going across the bottom of my double driveway, and hopefully it's done forever.

those rubber ones look like the cat's pajamas, but maybe a little more expensive than asphalt.

I saw something like that in lethbridge yesterday... I think it was at Gregg's... But I can't remember for sure... Or maybe Princess Auto...

I think they were plastic, and had interlocking fingers to make a solid piece any length you wanted.

so I have those curb jumpers and my garage is legal but the cement has never been cut down to alow access so does that obviously means I’m doing something by law wouldn’t like? I three different people with wheel chairs that come by love the ramps and go down them all the time should I not use them?
