Any recommendations?

I'm awaiting the arrival of the supplies for my first c&c cage (so excited!) and i already know I'm going to build a multi-level cage. I've seen a lot of clever ideas for ramps but I'd like some opinions. The one I really liked and I laughed for a good 2 minutes when I saw it was making steps out of jenga blocks! It looks so cute but I'm afraid they will just chew them up! The other thing I saw and it looks like the most common method is bending a few extra grids and putting carpeting or a towel over that. But I wonder how easy are they to bend? I'm a weak girl and I don't have any strong men willing to help me.
Any suggestions?

I couldn't bend them and I'm pretty strong, my hubby did ours.. However... My older pig HATED the ramp and REFUSED to go up, even though it was very sturdy and the other pig zipped up and down all day.. He started chewing up the coro in frustration... We finally took the second level down because it was stressing him out so much. NOT saying this will be the case with your piggies, but expect anything with these piggers...

Bending grids is EASY if you do it the right way. You need to have something in the shape of a 2 by 4 or something, and use that to bend the grid. You would need to make sure the grid was centerd on the thing that you're using to bend it, and slowly bend both sides making it equal. I also had a pig scared to use the ramp, which was not okay because her kitchen was upstairs. I ended up just taking the top level and putting it on the bottom. I liked it better anyways because it meant I had a cage big enough for 3 pigs instead.

I made mine with a piece of flooring (the wood looking one.. don't know how to call it in english, here we use "floating floor") covered it with mat, put coro sides.
I've drill holes in the end and use zip tie to secure it to the second level grid.
I've bait Doby up with veggies. Now he runs up and down without any problems. He even use the ramp when he goes for his nighty laps running.
