Getting the mower into the shed

Hey everyone, i know this is going to be a pretty stupid question and i'm sorry about that but i still don't know the answer. I'm still in the process of trying to decide between a stand-on and a z-turn. My shed isn't that high off the ground (the floor is maybe 5-6 inches). Those metal skinny ramp systems scare me (like the following Shed Ramps Pair for Lawn Tractor, Mowers, Atv's, Blowers: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific). It seems like it might be easy to get off the ramp and maybe damage your deck. Is it maybe feseable to lift the front end into the shed and then push the rest of the mower into the shed or do you think that's going to be to hard? I'm not that handy with wood working stuff so i hope the solution isn't to build a ramp. Any advice would of course be appreciated.

buy a ATV ramp, mine has three ramps that folds, gives plenty of room for my zero turn mower

Reverse into the shed.
Most ZTR's will go up a 6" step backwards no problems if you raise the deck to its highest position.
You should be able to rotate the front casters 180 deg once the mower is in the shed so it comes out strait.

I know this is an old thread but I used the ramps you pictured and then went to lowes and bought a 4x8 piece of plywood. Lowes will cut one time for free. I measured it and lowes cut it to 4x6 and I screwed it to the ramps. Works great.
