My project is similar to the commentary picture, but I only have one ramp, the one heading up / down in the photo. The door is 3 ft wide. Must my landing be a minimum 78" (42" + 36") left to right, top to bottom, or both? I am thinking it must be 78" both ways because the "length" and "width" change depending on the direction of travel (parallel with the ramp and perpendicular through the doorway.)ThanksView attachment 1754
