You could use a round wooden pole, like they use for supporting recently planted trees.

Best way to get a caravan over a kerb....................apply to the Local Authority for a dropped kerb to be constructed and then get a contractor, approved of b ythe Local Authority, to do the work for you. It's illegal to driver over a kerb unless you put dropped kerbs in.

I know, I know, not the kind of information anyone wants to hear......but it only takes one complaint from someone who doesn't like a caravan in someone's garden.............it happens..........and I assume you want a legal way to do it

Each Local Authority have their own charges for approving the works. Then there is the contractors costs. That cost depends upon how wide the crossing is/how many kerbs you take out. Possibly £1000 minimum I suspect. Anyway, here is one Local Authority's costs

I have 6" kerb and purchased these on ebay. Very strong and does my 6" kerb a treat.

Might be a little expensive though.  Works for me.

The fine for driving over the kerb to get into your property can be up to £1000. The reason for needing dropped kerbs is becasue there may be services in the path and which would need to be protected by specific construction works.

I love the way you always invent worst case scenarios.....Just back caravan over kerb using ramps as suggested & in 99.999% of cases everybody is happy, theres no damage to pavement & nobody complains. The op had all the info they asked for by post 3......
