I have a just under 3% grade on the down slope toward the float transfer slip on my layout. I installed a 1/4 strip of plywood for the decking to support the road bed with enough material at each end to allow a gentle bend into and out of the slope. I then used plywood blocking to keep the sloped section flat and level. I also glue and screw all my joints for added strength.
