Abstract: A ramp for barrier free showers which is pivotable from a generally horizontal position for elevating wheel chairs into a shower or other location, to a generally vertical position which removes the ramp as a hazard and which uses the ramp to hold shower curtains within the shower. The ramp has a dam which extends generally perpendicularly front the top surface of the ramp and which covers a gap between the ramp and a threshold of the shower when the ramp is in the generally vertical position, to prevent water from running onto the floor.
